Clean electricity is energy that is both sustainable and non-polluting. Such sources of energy are ideal for mitigating climate change. For the full benefit of clean energy generation to be realized, sustainable practices must be integrated into the development of clean technologies. This requires using materials that are both renewable and recyclable. These can indeed […]

This project explores how concrete can be enhanced to help buildings better manage temperature and reduce energy use. The material to be used in this project can absorb heat when temperatures rise and release it when temperatures drop, helping to keep indoor spaces more comfortable without relying as heavily on heating or cooling systems. The […]

Electricity systems face unprecedented pressure to accommodate extraordinarily rapid growth within a short period. Achieving net-zero emissions requires deep electrification, extending electricity use to activities that currently rely on fossil fuels. This shift could dramatically increase current consumption levels, making it essential to harness the potential of distributed energy resources (DERs) to meet the growing […]

This project aims to improve the performance of electrochemical hydrogen compressors (EHCs), which are used to recover and compress hydrogen for clean energy systems such as fuel cells. During operation, some hydrogen is lost, increasing cost and reducing efficiency. The performance of EHCs depends strongly on how hydrogen and water move through the polymer membrane […]

The growing number of renewable energy sources in Cambodia, such as solar farms, makes it more difficult to schedule power system operations to satisfy demand and save operating costs. Forecasting is one way to manage energy. An excessively high prediction accuracy indicates that managing the spatial energy in Economic Dispatch (ED) and Optimal Power Flow […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Pipeline integrity management involves effectively managing various threats, including cracking and corrosion. Crack and corrosion threat management has evolved keeping pace with advancements in the Inline Inspection (ILI) technologies which are primary tools for detection and sizing of crack and corrosion features on a pipeline. With the high-resolution inspection data obtained through ILI tools, the […]

Every winter Quebecers, Canadians and basically anyone living in northern climates suffer from icing related failures (power blackouts, fallen trees, blocked roads, etc.). In the best case, meteorological forecasts and HQ’s ice-removal measures are timely, costly, and the society does not experience the severe effect caused by harsh winter weather. Currently applied active ice protection […]

This project aims to improve how polymer-based solvents are modeled during freezing and solidification processes that are critical to modern semiconductor manufacturing. Building on prior experimental and theoretical studies (i.e., the collaborative work from participated institutions), the project will develop an accurate and reliable computational framework that captures how heat transfer and mechanical stresses interact […]

The objective of this project is to synthesize and isolate new heteroleptic metal-organic cages (MOCs) to function as reaction vessels for a series of different applications. The MOCs will consist of two triarylborane ligands and two triarylamine ligands for a ligand ratio of 1:1. Two separate cages will be explored with one consisting of ligands […]

This project aims to make power grids smarter and more efficient by using a type of artificial intelligence called Graph Neural Networks along with Deep Reinforcement Learning. Just like a GPS finds the best route for a car, our system will find the optimal paths for electricity to travel, especially from clean but unpredictable sources […]

This project is a transformative energy technology that reimagines how electricity is delivered, expanding access to affordable power while supporting the global clean energy transition. The project is dedicated to empowering communities, particularly in underserved regions, with solutions that advance both energy access and equity.
