D-Wave Systems develops and manufactures quantum annealing processors. These processors implement a model of quantum computation that seeks to solve hard problems by exploiting quantum effects such as tunneling and superposition. The aim of this project is to study and improve the performance of quantum annealing processors by mitigating inherent and implementation-dependent failure mechanisms for […]

Wearable electronics has become one of the most intensive research fields due to the ability to improve human life, enable interaction in the virtual world and the demand for portable electronics. Textiles with embedded electronic elements hold great potential for the next generation of health monitoring and human-machine interaction devices. Flexible sensors built on textiles […]

The project entails the creation of a program that will capture data from building sensors. It will analyze that data and predict future trends based on the data collected over a period of time. It will also graph data from sensors over a period of time. Currently both are done manually, take a significant amount […]

L’objectif de ce stage serait de coordonner des ligands multidentates bis(NHC) bis(ylides) à des métaux légers de première rangée pour des applications en catalyse. Idéalement, puisque le cuivre, le cobalt, le fer et le nickel sont tous stables à un état d’oxydation de 2, le même ligand pourrait être utilisé pour chacun d’eux. Ces catalyseurs […]

During this internship, my goal is to create a dinitrogen molecule that fits into the frustrated Lewis pair model. This molecule will be used to replace currently existing polluting fertilizers. To achieve this goal, the internship is divided into three steps: -The first consists of synthesizing a molecule containing N2. -Next, we will try to […]

L’application de certains types de plasma sur une surface biologique permet la stérilisation du milieu en question. Il est également possible de rendre cette stérilisation sélective par rapport au choix des cellules devant être affectées par le plasma. Ce faisant, la stérilisation sélective de cellules cancérigènes ou de pathogènes par un actionneur à plasma est […]

The proposed research will result in better understanding of the mechanism of ethanol and glycerol steam reforming while using Ni-based electrocatalysts. The main goal is hydrogen production from glycerol waste and ethanol. It will foster research in one of the promising process of hydrogen rich gas production. The results will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals, […]

Ionic liquids are organic-cation salts that feature the property of being liquid at lower temperatures than their inorganic counterparts. This peculiar characteristic added to their versatility and recoverability make those compounds excellent candidates for many applications such as a replacement for conventional toxic and hardly recyclable organic solvents, among others. However, their high viscosity is […]

Ce projet consiste à la mise au point de nouveaux procédés de fonctionnalisation par plasma du verre. À travers la synthèse d’un film mince, nous modifierons la surface du verre et étudierons les effets antibuée produits. Cette étude permettra de développer un procédé alternatif aux solutions existantes. La nature chimique du film mènera à une […]

SeeO2 energy and the Birss group (UCalgary) have developed world-leading catalysts for RSOFC systems with promising performance for the production of syngas and power from H2O/CO2 feeds. Today, the company is aiming to scale-up this technology and move towards commercialization by building larger cells, up to 5 x 5 cm2 (16 cm2 electrode area). However, […]

Proposed Work- Design Assessment of Latent Heat Storage Systems (LHSS) Integrated with Smart Thermal Grids Latent heat storage is a coherent technique having a potential of integration with real-time applications. The energy is stored in the form of latent heat during melting of phase change material’s (PCM’s). This energy can be utilized during the peak […]
