Environment-Based Design (EBD) application to mechanical products

Design problems need creative solving method, solution and specific knowledge and experience. Design problems and solution methodologies have been studied for many decades. Environment-Based Design (EBD) method is one of the modern and comprehensive methods which reflects the state of art in the design methodologies. In this project EBD technics including environment analysis, right-questions presentation, […]

Quantification of antibiotic residues and nitrites in meat using paper-based microfluidic devices

Meat contamination is a severe public health risk and therefore the development of highly precise, rapid, and reliable monitoring devices are necessary. Chemical hazards in meat such as the presence of nitrites and antibiotic residues have potentially carcinogenic, toxic, and/or allergenic effects when exceeding threshold limits set by governing health agencies. Conventional methods to monitor […]

Drug loaded co-polymeric nanoparticles as targeted delivery systems: Preparation and evaluation

The research project deals with the development of a targeted drug delivery system for cancer treatment. This drug delivery system features the use of nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient carriers for cancer drugs. Current cancer therapy regularly involves the use of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells; however, chemotherapy affects normal healthy cells and patients may experience […]

Examining play based learning cross-culturally

I would like to study how play based learning is used and viewed in the Chinese school system, and how children learn through play in these conditions. Through observation I intend to examine classroom structures in the primary grades, kindergarten to grade 3, in Chinese school system, and observe how students learn through play from […]

A Comparison of Canadian and Chinese Historical Narrative Formation

I would like to study what history is emphasized in Chinese middle and high school classrooms. Through observation, I would like to see what elements of Chinese history are focused on, and in turn, how this may contribute to the Chinese identity. Compared to Canada, China has a rich history spanning thousands of years, yet […]

La réalité virtuelle : une façon novatrice de favoriser l’apprentissage socio-émotionnel chez les adolescents

Le présent projet vise à mettre sur pied un outil d’intervention utilisant la réalité virtuelle afin de favoriser le développement de saines habiletés sociales et affectives chez les adolescents. En collaboration avec la Fondation Jasmin Roy, le stagiaire sera ainsi appelé à participer à la création de scénarios sociaux qui seront projetés par le biais […]

Nonlinear mechanical (multiaxial) fatigue of polymers

Failure of a material under a repetitive load is called (mechanical) fatigue. Our goal is to substantially improve the understanding of the fatigue process by following continuously the material’s properties/response to a specific type of load during a test. We have developed some understanding for tests in torsion, allowing us to detect macroscopic cracks instantaneously […]

Échafauder l’enquête historique à travers la fabrication physico-numérique

La fabrication numérique d’une ville historique Ce projet de fabrication numérique d’une ville historique est une déclinaison du projet de fabrication de ville intelligente #SmartCityMaker (Romero & Lille, 2017 ; Romero, Lille, Girard, Cohen, & Spence, 2017). Il vise aider les élèves à étudier rigoureusement le passé dans une séquence d’apprentissage technocréative. Dans ce projet, […]

Chromatic and List-Chromatic Numbers of Infinite Hypergrahs

Suppose there are a number of committees of people, which we represent by vertices of a graph and draw an edge between two vertices if those committees share a common member. Then the list-colouring number is (informally) the minimum number k so that as long as each committee comes up with a list of k-many […]
