There is a global effort to replace fossil-derived polymers with more sustainable, and better performing renewable polymers. As Canada is planning to put a ban on single used plastics by the end of 2021, putting an effort to replace these plastics with bio-based, compostable and biodegradable plastics could be a potential solution. The proposed work […]

En collaboration avec la firme AEDDIX System GmbH qui offre des solutions logicielles (SaaS) spécialisées pour l’industrie brassicole, le projet vise a intégrer des solutions numériques afin d’optimiser les processus de fermentation à la microbrasserie Siboire. À l’aide d’un capteur connecté (IoT) qui mesure les paramètres clés de fermentation en temps réel, un jumeau numérique […]

Notre projet vise à développer des teintures naturelles et écologiques pour les planchers en bois, offrant une résistance élevée à l’abrasion tout en réduisant les émissions de composés organiques volatils (COV). En utilisant des formulations à base d’huile végétale, nous cherchons à améliorer la durabilité et la protection des planchers, tout en préservant leur aspect […]

Railway systems play a vital role in modern society by rapidly and safely transporting cargo, goods and passengers. The project will build an intelligent railway infrastructure monitoring platform, and develop multi-scale railway maintenance algorithms to improve railway network safety and security, and promote a resilient infrastructure from disruptive events and climate changes. By developing technologies […]

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of […]

In recent years, ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has gained ground in bridge construction and infrastructure. The tensile behaviour of UHPFRC that effectively limits crack propagation and minimizes the width of cracks, resulting in enhancement of the structure’s strength and durability is of utmost interest. However, the fast, easy, and reliable characterization of this property […]

This research project attempts to tackle the major issues experienced with crankshaft vibration in modern internal combustion engines through the use of tuned finite element model and optimized rubber dampers. The purpose of this project is to lay out a systematic approach for the design of torsional vibration dampers when given a set of engine […]

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a prominent damage mechanism in the hydrocarbon industries which results in the leaks and even lead to catastrophes. There are numerous spacer systems developed till date including Integrity Product’s Novel PTFE spacer wrap and Novel Insulation Ventilation system (IVS) which are studied comprehensively via Mitacs funded projects. All these spacer […]

Dacotah Malt Ltd. is Manitoba’s first and only craft malthouse. While malting is an age-old practice, we are using the latest and greatest seed and plant genetics and management practices on our small farm, in order to continue being sustainable and leaving a smaller ecological footprint, on our farm and in our malthouse. We know […]

Le projet consiste à établir une charte de labellisation des problèmes cutanés des sujets à partir de milliers de photos. L’objectif de ce projet est de pouvoir appliquer cette charte à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle afin que les clients du site puissent prendre leur visage en photo et recevoir une analyse personnalisée pour leurs soins […]

Tinnitus is when an auditory percept is experienced in the absence of any external corresponding auditory stimuli (Hullfish et al., 2019). This study will look at the use of a sound-based passive treatment to reducing stress and annoyance caused by tinnitus, to ultimately contribute to an increase in the quality-of-life and reduction in the accompanying […]

Le projet vise à intégrer, à optimiser et à adapter un système de mise à jour de la cartographie routière basé sur des données géospatiales ouvertes. Les objectifs incluent l’amélioration d’un algorithme de « map-matching » sur des données OpenStreetMap, et l’adaptation pour les plateformes embarquées de la compagnie E-Smart. Ce projet renforcera l’autonomie et […]
