In this project, a process improvement will be developed for splitting open cultured algal cells to release nutritional oils contained within. A high-energy pulsed laser will be used to deliver short but intense light bursts to cause the lysis of algal cells. This technology will be applied at the production scale at Mara Renewables in […]

This Mitacs BSI internship will help Zero Point Cryogenics achieve its goals of serving the market of quantum technologies, by improving our advanced assembly and manufacturing capabilities.

In this study, patients with idiopathic scoliosis followed at SickKids will undergo topographic analysis using the Momentum Health scanning application in addition to standard of care clinical evaluation and x-rays. The study period is 1 routine clinic visit followed by 3 months after. Patients will self-scan 1x/month at home for the following 3 months. The […]

The ever-increasing need for better performing, safer and environmentally friendly aircrafts, necessitates the continuous refinement of the predictive tools that are employed during the design and certification phases. The field of aeroservoelasti city, which encompasses airframe flexibility, control laws and aerodynamics, is of paramount importance in the design of modern aircrafts given their increased airframe […]

The objective of this research is to develop novel polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites with enhanced performance attributes intended for exterior cladding in the construction industry. The partner, Cornerstone Building Brands Canada Inc., through this work is continuing their relentless pursuit to align with future construction demands, thereby enhancing the value of polymeric siding in the […]

The proposed research will investigate two brain imaging measures that hold potential as tools for the diagnosis and assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI)/concussion. One type of image provides information about structural damage to the brain’s anatomical connections, and the other about the functional connectivity of networks of brain regions that […]

Expanded gamut printing is a relatively new technology that allows print companies to move away from spot colours and needing an inventory of these colours on hand or ordering them from their ink supplier every time a print job requires a spot colour. With expanded gamut printing the same seven colours remain in the printing […]

The 4th industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, aims for flexible production via automated robots. Central to this is the integration of the 5G System (5GS) with deterministic, low latency, wireline data communication. Foundational technologies include IEEE 802.1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IETF Deterministic Networking (DetNet), which, when combined with 5G, enhance industrial automation. The synergy […]

In the modern era of increased digital and online operations, Security Operation Centers (SOCs) serve as frontline warriors, diligently monitoring and responding to a myriad of cyber security incidents. The SOC team at the project partner’s organization routinely investigates and responds to similar security incidents faced by clients. This project focuses on improving the quality […]

Favorable propagation studies for massive MIMO systems: mMIMO is a key technology for 5G and beyond, due to its ability to deliver high spectral efficiency/rate in multi-user environments using simplified (linear) processing. Its advantages can be fully exploited under certain conditions known compactly as “favorable propagation” (FP). Unlike the known methods, which rely on sophisticated […]

The objective of the project is to test and optimize a novel stationary bed filter for removing fine waste solids from the water of recirculating aquaculture systems. The filter uses plastic media to intercept the waste solids. Beta prototypes of the filter have been installed at four hatcheries owned by Cooke Aquaculture Inc. in the […]

This research is to develop a gallium nitride-based transistor used in high-power applications such as in electric vehicles and in solar power grids. Current gallium nitride transistors break down around 600-800 V. We propose to develop a technology that enable them to have more than 1200 V breakdown voltages. We also keep the balance between […]
