Les activités d’exploitation minière souterraines, mènent souvent à des événements sismiques qui ne peuvent pas être évités ou anticipés. C’est donc très nécessaire pour les compagnies minières d’investir dans les solutions technologiques qui peuvent au maximum moins exposer voire éliminer la présence humaine sous terre. L’opération de soutènement de la roche retient notre attention en […]

Near-infrared (NIR) imaging systems play a vital role in human tissue imaging. These systems can facilitate various vital clinical applications. Such applications enable real-time metabolic monitoring, non-invasive imaging of the lymphatic system, and mapping of microvasculature blood flow. In this research, the problem to be addressed is the lack of accessibility to cheap near infrared […]

Standard microprocessors are not getting faster anymore, however, consumer and industry demand for faster and lower-power computing is insatiable. The project aims to research and develop a novel computer-hardware platform to be used for accelerated low-power computing versus the use of microprocessors. The new hardware platform, called a coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRAs), can be configured […]

CT angiograms (CTA) are used to detect vessel occlusions in the brain in stroke patients and are a diagnostic criteria of acute stroke. Current standards of care require that an additional CT perfusion scan to be taken in order to accurately locate large and medium-vessel occlusions, allowing for the administering of endovascular therapy (EVT) to […]

L’accès à l’eau est un défi majeur de notre époque en raison de la croissance démographique mondiale. D’ici 2050, la population mondiale dépassera 10 milliards de personnes, ce qui soulève des inquiétudes quant à l’approvisionnement en eau potable et à l’irrigation agricole. L’agriculture est le principal utilisateur d’eau douce, représentant près de 70% des ressources […]

Residential wastewater is one of the largest sources of water pollution in Canada. Before being discharged to the environment, the wastewater needs to be treated to reduce risks posed to human health and the environment. However, the vast territory of Canada and the disparate locations of communities makes it a huge challenge to set up […]

Suitable nanomaterials will be selected to be used as nano-absorbents for CO2 capture (CC). The nano-absorbents will be suspended in a base fluid used for CC to create a nanofluid. The performance of both the pure base fluid and the developed nanofluid for CC will be evaluated experimentally in the lab and compared. Similarly, the […]

The proposed research project aims to explore the benefits and challenges of migrating on-premises data centers to cloud-based solutions. The intern will investigate the environmental sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and trustworthiness of cloud computing in comparison to traditional data centers. By analyzing real-world case studies and conducting experiments, the project seeks to provide insights into the potential […]

This project investigates how metastatic lung cancer develops and evolves over time. DNA sequencing can be utilised to identify patterns in cancer genomes associated with specific sources of mutation (eg: UV rays, tobacco smoke, intrinsic cellular processes). Additionally, cancers may acquire defects in DNA repair mechanisms, resulting in a positive feedback loop of increasing mutation […]

Soil moisture is a crucial land-based parameter that governs the energy and mass equilibrium in land-atmosphere interactions. Unfortunately, the conventional measurement methods do not facilitate the effortless monitoring of soil moisture’s spatial and temporal variability at a regional scale. Satellite remote sensing data presents a viable solution to address the limitations and propose an alternative […]

In the era of the industrial revolution, the availability of vast amounts of data necessitates the development of software applications with online dynamic reliability prediction capabilities. Such software should enable a data-driven analysis of equipment life by incorporating various operational and environmental covariates that impact equipment failure, thereby mitigating production losses. Consequently, this project aims […]

The proposed project is to combine digital holographic microscopy (DHM) and interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT), which can be separated into two sub-tasks. The first one is introducing reconstruction holographic algorithm to iSCAT image analysis, realizing real-time particle 3D tracking. Tracking objects along the optical axis in iSCAT is commonly done by comparing the shape of […]
