The project “Scaling Sustainable Waste-to-Energy Solutions: Poultry Manure to Biofuels and Carbon Capture” focuses on commercializing an innovative pyrolysis-based technology that transforms poultry manure into bio-oil, biochar, and pyro-gas. This solution addresses both environmental and economic challenges in Canada’s poultry and renewable energy sectors by providing a sustainable alternative to traditional manure disposal methods, which […]

The objective of the proposal is to enable high-reliability free-space quantum communication in turbulence environments. Free-space optical and quantum communications face a critical hurdle of atmospheric turbulence induced distortions in propagating optical beams. This degrades signal purity in quantum key distribution (QKD) and long-distance optical transmission. Our vision for this project is to establish a […]

Molten salt-based thermal energy storage (TES) systems offer a promising way to store and manage heat efficiently, especially for industries that rely on stable high-temperature processes. However, these systems are still in development, and key challenges—such as heat loss, material durability, and long-term performance—must be addressed to ensure their reliability and cost-effectiveness. While some studies […]

Nextdriv is a user-friendly platform that helps fleet operators plan and manage the switch to electric vehicles. By using smart tools and data analysis, it makes it easier to choose the right vehicles, optimise daily operations, and even take advantage of energy market opportunities. For our partner organisation, this means a smoother, more cost-effective transition […]

Anessa is seeking a Market Analyst Intern to contribute to strategic growth by conducting in-depth market research and analysis across various sectors, including Wastewater Treatment Plants, Hotels, Hospitals, and Educational Institutions.

Research in our group has begun to show that plants generate and use electrical signals to control functions within their structure. When external stimuli are applied to a plant, different electrical signals are generated. These electrical signals contain information both about the stimuli but also how the plant reacts to this stimuli. This research project’s […]

The project entails an experimental and numerical investigation into the effect of adding seeding particles into a Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal storage system under the application of Electrohydrodynamics (EHD).In previous experiments we have seen an increase in heat transfer enhancement for the same applied electric field when we have added seeding particles. The objective […]

The proposed scientific collaboration is toward developing a new class of porous structure using mathematical design. The structure must be lightweight and capable of removing heat. This structure is advantageous in engineering, such as heat enhancement, heat exchangers, and biomedical engineering (hip, jaw, or femur replacement). The global importance of the proposed research is in […]

This project focuses on synthesizing a new class of conjugated polymers incorporating stable, quinoidal units that enhance electronic properties, targeting applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells, and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). By designing polymers that feature reduced bond-length alternation, these materials exhibit lower band gaps and high charge carrier mobilities, essential for […]
