COVID-19 has significantly impacted the world. Nucleic acid, CT, and fever tests are standard tests, but they suffer from various limitations. For instance, CT requires large & expensive equipment. The nucleic acid test is not portable and takes at least two days. As sensor technologies get more advanced, a portable, low-cost and fast diagnosis COVID-19 […]

Ce projet porte sur le développement d’un instrument de spectroscopie par laser LIBS pour réaliser la numérisation des avoirs miniers par la génération de Big Data de grande sélectivité. Cette technologie permet de rendre universel l’opération de numérisation des avoirs miniers en combinant plusieurs capteurs pour réaliser simultanément la minéralogie automatisé et l’analyse chimique multi-élémentaire. […]

This project intends to develop a new platform for lasers operating in the mid-infrared, an invisible portion of the optical spectrum where molecules have unique signatures that allow identifying what is present in which quantity in a gas sample or in a chemical sample. These lasers can be used in tele detection for instance to […]

With the advancement of methods based on artificial-intelligence, computer vision and deep learning, activities concerning progress monitoring, safety management, and quality control can be automated that leads to saving in time and cost. With the collaboration with partner industry, computer-vision approaches are going to be employed in order to find an improved method that utilizes […]

This project is developed to leverage 3D printing to fabricate personnel protective equipment and other products that can help us navigate the COVID 19 pandemic. 3D printing can be used to quickly fabricate a design idea, but it is a slow process, and there is some inherent porosity, so using this process to make masks […]

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are a key technology in the race against climate challenge, and while commercial applications are increasingly common, challenges remain in cost, performance, and durability. Most of the issues that prevent full commercialization affect the catalyst layer, the region where the power-generating electrochemical reactions take place, like the oxygen reduction reaction. This […]

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is currently causing a pandemic that is overburdening the healthcare system and causing unprecedented economic disruptions on a global scale. A method called serological testing uses viral proteins to determine if the someone has been infected and has now become immune to the virus; however, it is currently very expensive to produce. […]

Aphasia is an impairment of language caused by an injury to the brain. Word finding difficulties often accompany aphasia and can persist even after intensive speech therapy, having a negative impact on the person’s social participation and quality of life. Today’s communication aids can improve the ability to effectively communicate but findings from focus groups […]

The research project proposed here takes a radically new approach to on-vehicle electric power generation, with the potential for developing a scalable, flexible, and conceptually very efficient method without the need for complex mechanical off-take. The new method is called the Free-Piston Direct-Drive Linear Generator, a type of Rankine Cycle expansion engine. Excess thermal energy […]

While touch screens have become the de facto user interface for cell phones, they do not provide any mechanical feedback to the user, unlike standard keyboards and computer mouse where we can feel the buttons springing back against our fingers. This, however, could be replicated through haptic technology, which can mimic various sensations through smooth […]

Two fundamental pillars of communications/communications networks are trust and truth; in particular, we must ensure that the message (or data) that a sender wishes to transmit does indeed reach the intended receiver without being altered or eavesdropped by an unwanted party. This project focuses on demonstrating one concept of the quantum internet. The quantum internet […]
