Obesity is a growing public health concern that is characterized by increased fat mass. It is also an important risk factor for various diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. Most treatments for obesity act on the brain, and interestingly, none of the available treatments target fat cells, the key cell type involved in the development […]

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

In the fabrication of a battery-free water leak detector, packaging process requires to expose the sensor to water in a specific way, while protecting some electronics components on the inside from water. This research is to develop a high-speed and high precision laser microwelding process to fabricate an aluminum or stainless steel foil water-proof housing […]

We have aspired for a green and intelligent future, where humans, the built environment, and nature are interconnected as a cyber-physical system. To such an Internet of Things, the sustainability and robustness of the power system are crucial, and the reliable operation of the battery-based energy storage systems is essential because of their abilities in […]

mRNA is an essential biomolecule that is ‘translated’ into protein which is another type of biolmolecule that is essential to life. All mRNA has what is called a cap. The cap portion of the mRNA is necessary for initiating the translation process. To make the capped mRNA for therapeutic applications, such as mRNA vaccines, the […]

Linamar uses sensors and gauges to monitor machine performance in factories across the world. However, the infrastructure to fully exploit such data to improve productivity and performance is currently limited as there is no integrated environment available to uniformly collect, manipulate and analyze the data. The primary objective of this project is to create an […]

Le projet de développement d’une solution robotisée pour l’application d’étiquettes dans un contexte industriel permettra à Premier Tech Systèmes Automatisés (PTSA) de mettre sur pieds (Étude de faisabilité technicoéconomique, Conception et réalisation) un système d’étiquetage modulaire pouvant s’intégrer à des lignes de production. Ce projet est important et captive l’attention chez PTSA parce qu’il permet […]

Online multiplayer games continue to see an increase in their popularity and their playerbase is becoming increasingly diverse. At the same time, there is a concerning amount of harm and harassment found in text chat which prevents games from being safe and inclusive online spaces. Current detection solutions and moderation systems falls short of addressing […]

Digital image forgery has become a worldwide pandemic, with many forms of forgery (e.g., insurance fraud, fake news, identity theft) negatively affecting our life. This effect could be attributed to the accessible costs of mobile phones and digital cameras, which has led to an exponential proliferation of digital images, and the availability of many image […]

This project explores how computer algorithms will be used to predict the intelligibility and quality of in-car speech processed by hearing aids. Hearing impaired listeners graded in-car speech for a set of conditions. The conditions include seating position of talker, seating position of speaker, levels of background noise, and hearing aid processing methods. Each hearing […]

Silver nanowires are 2-dimensional nanostructures of silver with diameter of less than 100 nm and length to diameter ratio of over 1000 times. They are excellent for inducing electrical conductivity into non-conductive material when dispersed at small quantities in those media. This is due to the intrinsic conductivity of silver (highest among elements) and elongated […]
