As the circular economy and circular manufacturing approaches are strongly focusing on reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling, it is very important to investigate new materials for fabrication of metal/polymer filaments for low-cost 3D printing. In this project recyclable metal-infused feedstocks with high concentration of metal powder (up to 60 vol.%) for filament fabrication will be […]

Using data obtained over a period of 15 years from Brachytherapy procedures used on patients to treat prostate cancer, statistical analysis will be carried out to confirm the hypothesis that Brachtherapy treatments offer the best outcomes at the lowest cost in comparison to other treatment modalities. The first stage of the project will be to […]

As vehicle systems become more advanced, accurate information about vehicle states, parameters, and surrounding operating conditions becomes paramount for vehicle health monitoring and driver control systems. This information is vital for the production, cost, and efficiency of the vehicles, as well as a key to improving passenger safety. In commercial vehicles, not all parameters of […]

This project tackles heavy metals removal from two end-of-life streams, notably steel slags (SS) and municipal solid waste (MSW). These slags could be valorized and used in cement and concrete materials after eliminating heavy metals and other toxic components. Intensified cost-effective processes have the potential to be green alternatives for extracting and precipitating heavy metals […]

Les matériaux intelligents chromogéniques sont très importants pour les applications domotiques telles que les fenêtres intelligentes. Ces produits sont essentiels pour les applications d’économie d’énergie telles que les bâtiments durables. Parmi ces matériaux, les matériaux activés électriquement (électrochromes) offrent des avantages tels qu’un fonctionnement simple et linéaire. En comparaison avec les autres dispositifs électrochromes à […]

Axtion Independence Mobility Inc. was founded in January 2020. We design devices to help people age in place safely and with dignity. Our first patent pending device helps prevent falls, and in the unfortunate event a fall occurs, helps the person return to a sitting or standing position independently or with minimal assistance. One in […]

The proposed project will explore how cannabis consumption affects the cardiovascular system. Additionally, this project will examine how these effects might impact humans abilities to perform exercise following cannabis use, and whether cannabis use alters how exercise is perceived. It will also explore whether these effects vary if cannabis is inhaled by different methods, or […]

The state-of-the-art polymer electrolyte fuel cells have catalyst layers (CLs) made of platinum catalyst on carbon support (Pt/C) bound together by proton conducting polymer or ionomer. To overcome the challenges of high cost of Platinum catalyst and corrosion of carbon support, alternative materials for catalyst and catalyst support are being considered. The interaction of ionomer […]

Cyclic Materials is helping the world transition to a more environmentally responsible future by recovering rare earth elements and other valuable materials from the difficult-to-recycle products of the modern world. Cycilc Material help businesses recycle, provide the market with a secure and regional supply of critical metals, and do so in an ethical, economic, and […]

Reinforcement learning has caught significant attention in the past decade with landmark successes including deep Q-net applied to video games and AlphaGo for the game of go. However, the gap is still wide when it comes to application to real world problems mainly due to high training cost. We propose to develop a digital model […]

Climicals développe une solution de conversion des sucres contenus dans des déchets alimentaires en molécules clés pour la chimie verte et la production de différents plastiques biosourcés. Climicals souhaite développer une solution à faible impact environnemental en s’assurant que son approvisionnement, ses procédés de conversion et ses débouchés induisent bel et bien une réduction d’impact […]
