As we advanced into the information age, the need for high capacity communication channels is becoming ubiquitous. As the next generation of satellites is being deployed there is a need for efficient interconnections between them, especially for those forming low earth orbiting constellations for the coming Internet-of-Space applications. The limited radio frequency spectrum available is […]

Agricultural wastewater and public effluents often contain elevated levels of phosphorous and nitrogen that limit its ability to be directly repurposed as crop fertilizer or irrigation spray. Removal of soluble nutrients from wastewater is difficult. Current treatment options have high investment costs and are often not well suited for smaller farm sizes common in Canada. […]

The main goal of this project is to identify the key performance parameters of the membrane and collect some data on the membrane performance. To achieve this goal the intern needs to first develop a testing system to evaluate the dehydration performance of the membrane. After building the test system the intern will utilize the […]

Synthetic diamond allows to exploit technologically relevant properties at much more affordable costs than based on natural diamond. While early applications related to the extraordinary hardness of diamond, more recent applications target the outstanding heat conductivity and dedicated point defects that allow for the control of individual paramagnetic states. This has extended the requirements for […]

Leveraging the entirety of point of sale and loyalty data collected across a category, as well as additional socio-economic and other supporting data sources, apply statistical modelling to identify the own-price elasticity of demand and cross-price elasticity of demand at regular and promoted price points across Unilever’s portfolio within that category. Subsequently measuring the promotional […]

The risk of airborne disease transmission is high for essential workers even while wearing PPE. Since SARS-CoV-2 can remain airborne after a sneeze or cough for several hours, ideally, there would be effective methods to remove these infectious particles directly from the air. In this work, we develop a membrane-based technology capable of serving the […]

Training personnel to operate machinery in the construction workplace requires a major devotion of time, resources, and safeguards. Recent methods involving virtual reality and motion base simulators have drastically enhanced the training process, but some users of these new methods report sickness and discomfort. This research aims to remedy this issue with a theoretical and […]

In the field of power electronics, one important goal is to make low power loss and super fast switching speed. In making this goal, GaN transistors are better choices than the conventional Si devices. In this project, we investigate the GaN technology design and details with simulation tools by Crosslight Software and testing data in […]

We are looking at a strategy that addresses the two issues stated above. A way for Carlyle to pivot to expand their bundling approach (mentioned in issue one), to be a competitive advantage in the shrinking market, and issue two getting us engaged in the changing workflow within our customer companies. The objective of the […]

The A220 aircraft, former CSeries, is the first commercial aircraft certified by Bombardier with fully augmented Fly-by-Wire Control Laws. The longitudinal controller gains are usually scheduled across the flight envelope according to relevant aerodynamic variables. Their tuning can be a lengthy and, sometimes, sub-optimal process. Hence, it is key for Airbus Canada to continue developing […]

This program will cement Canada’s leadership in global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), a key technology in radio astronomy and geodesy. In partnership with Thoth Technology Inc., our team of leading radio astronomers will (i) develop new capabilities to compress, transport, and process large amounts of data between geographically distinct locations to enable real-time VLBI, […]

Canadian public and private researchers have taken an interest in a new class of light-emitting materials which can produce better colour in OLED smartphone and television screens. Currently, the only way to fully confirm that a specific material in this class has the desired properties is to build it into a prototype OLED pixel. This […]
