The power industry has aging infrastructure operating at high temperatures (up to 600°C) subjecting it to accelerated corrosion that regularly leads to disasters. Periodic inspections are used to assess structures using ultrasound but require operations to be shut down so that workers can operate safely. Continuous monitoring is complex at high temperatures, which has many […]

This research focuses on Seoul International Ecofilm Festival (SIEFF) and aims at understanding its role and impacts on Korean society since its beginning. By using a mixed methods and research-creation approach, the intern will collect and analyze different types of data including visual ones such as pictures, audio-visual archives, visual/filmic ethnography of the 20th festival, […]

We are looking at developing a more interactive review/test methods for students rather than just our current true and false questions. We also want to ensure cross compatibility to ensure that the app for the review and testing works on all operating systems on phones when taking our courses online (most of our participants use […]

Flexible and lightweight electronics are the basis of the Internet of Everything (IoE), where people, processes, data, and devices will be integrated to change the future of mankind. Up to now, much research has been conducted on structures with simultaneous high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility as the core of IoE. However, high-volume manufacturing, reliability, […]

Investigating Nano-Media develops and disseminates groundbreaking technological innovations in the field of nanooptics and explores the possibilities of a new nano-material–nano-media–for communication, media and art practices. We deploy a pioneering multi-functional nano-fabric that comprises nano-substrates with embedded functionalities and new advanced fabrication processes. This unique nano-fabric is then further augmented by the processes of ‘nanography’ […]

Thin-film solar cells have great potential to replace conventional silicon-based cells, mainly because of their flexibility and low-cost materials. Nowadays, organic solar cells seem the brightest alternative, thanks to their non-toxic composition. Nonetheless, there still need to be solved challenges in their commercialization process. One of them, the loss of surfaces and interfaces of active […]

In this project, we are going to modify a plasma reactor that uses air, water and electricity to produce a solution containing fixed nitrogen to be used as a fertilizer. We will use several kinds of physical and chemical techniques to optimize the energy efficiency of nitrogen fixation. With this information in hand, we will […]

Through the MITACS GRA research award, this proposal aims to address the research gaps in enhancing the security and software quality assurance for two emergent technologies, namely, IoT and cloud systems. As evidenced from the literature scan, much of the previous work on security for IoT and cloud systems has ranged from addressing only specific […]

L’objectif de ce stage est de d’adapter un appareil de ciné-radiographie clinique existant en un outil de cinéradiographie à haute vitesse permettant de mesurer la cinématique de la tête, de la colonne cervicale et de la moelle épinière lors d’essais expérimentaux sur corps donnés à la science visant à reproduire un chargement traumatique impliquant un […]

The objectives of the proposed research are to design, build and test a simple but robust prototype thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system comprising an optical cavity configuration and a bifacial PV cell. As a part of this collaboration, the design and fabrication of an optical cavity-based TPV system will be done at York University. This optical cavity […]

Ce stage s’inscrit dans un projet qui a pour objectif de fabriquer des récepteurs denses de cellules solaires à haut rendement. Nous proposons de développer des procédés de dépôt par couche atomique (ALD) permettant de passiver la surface des semiconducteurs. Dans un premier temps, la stagiaire effectuera les dépôts sur substrat plan afin d’optimiser le […]

Le projet consiste à formuler des objets nanométriques destinés à la vectorisation de médicaments et constitués d’un polysaccharide naturel biodégradable (dextrane) et de dendrimères aux propriétés de fluorescences AIE particulières. Dans le cas des molécules AIE, leur fluorescence augmente avec la concentration pour atteindre un maximum lorsque la molécule est agrégée (état solide).  Le but […]
