Characterizing and Optimizing Bondline Reactions during Electric Resistance Welding of Advanced High Strength Steels

To improve passenger safety and vehicle fuel economy, automotive companies are increasing their use of both advanced high strength steels (AHSS) and hydroformed tubular construction. However, successful use of new AHSS tubular designs require successful electric resistance welding (ERW) of these grades. The high alloy content of new AHSS leads to bondline decarburization and the […]

Développement de nouvelles molécules bioactives et d’acides aminés biosourcés par dérivatisation de triterpènes naturels

Les végétaux demeurent de nos jours une source incontournable de molécules bioactives pour le développement d’agents thérapeutiques novateurs. Par contre, l’étude et l’utilisation des molécules d’origine végétale sont souvent limitées par leur manque de solubilité dans l’eau et leur faible biodisponibilité. Pour surmonter ces limitations, l’ajout de groupements polaires sur les molécules appelé dérivatisation est […]

Developing sustainable GFRC cladding panels for resilient buildings

Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels are a lightweight cladding panels primarily used as fascia panels in building structures. Concrete when reinforced with fibers is often presented as an environmental improvement on typical concrete. In the wake of the rapidly emerging climate change emergency and to help improve resiliency in our residential buildings, the National […]

A music expert visual assistant

Modern music providers offer multiple services such as artist recommendations, browsing, playlist generation etc. Users interact with these services using graphical interfaces on computers and mobile devices. There are applications that need voice-only interactions such as smart watches or when the user’s hands and eyes are occupied. Virtual assistants, such as Siri by Apple and […]

Analyzing gamma-ray spectra and mapping them to corresponding isotopes

This research project aims to program a hand-held spectrometer to identify and analyze gamma radiation peaks emitted from isotopes. Based on the detected peaks, the device will identify the specific isotope from the gamma ray that was emitted. The partner organization will be able to commercialize such a device to be used in different areas […]

Active Learning Strategies for Time-series

Acquiring labelled data for training supervised learning models is a barrier to a wider adoption of machine learning strategies in several industries. The data annotation task is generally complex and time-consuming. In this project, we will use raw unlabeled data generated by fiber sensors to reduce the burden of labelling data with problems within the […]

Impact of a novel enriched supplement on the oral microbiota of dogs.

Periodontal diseases are the most important condition diagnosed in dogs’ mouth. Bacterial biofilm, also called dental plaque is the first step on the development of periodontal diseases and nearly 100% of dogs will develop dental plaques if routine removal is not regularly performed. The oral microbiota has been recently implicated in the development of dental […]

Improving the efficiency and robustness of a microwave polystyrene pyrolysis reactor through combined experiments and simulations

Plastics are widely used and their end-of-life management remains a challenge. In 2016, Canadians disposed 3.3 million tons of plastics where 86% was landfilled, 4% was incinerated with energy recovery and only 9% was recycled. The low recycling rate is partly due to a limited market for the recycled material produced via mechanical technologies like […]

Hybrid Precoding/Combining (HPC) and Self-Interference Cancellation (SIC) for Full-Duplex (FD) Massive-Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (mMIMO) Wireless Communications Systems

The rapid advancement of wireless communications has drastically transformed the world over the last few decades. The next-generation wireless communication systems are expected to support a wide variety of requirements for diverse applications (e.g., the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial IoT (IIoT), autonomous driving, healthcare, virtual/augmented reality). Meeting such stringent requirements will bring significant challenges […]

Correlation of Coronary and Myocardial Strain Profiles for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Year Two

Throughout my Doctoral Studies I have used various approaches to evaluate and/or predict the behaviour of cardiovascular structures in the setting of acquired disease. These have been focussed on two key methodologies: insilico testing aimed at predicting functional responses to therapeutic intervention, such as mechano-electric Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling of the left atrium strains […]
