The project will develop aqueous-free systems for decontaminating (i.e. inactivation of human pathogens and spoilage microbes) fresh produce that can be applied individually or sequentially. The first intervention is based on a forced-air ozone reactor that introduces the antimicrobial gas through the bed of produced at a controlled flow rate. The advantage of the method […]

La planification des opérations de maintenance est une tâche compliquée car elle est difficilement prévisible. La détermination des points bloquants dans la production permettra de mieux les éliminer et ainsi de réduire le temps de réparation des turbines. Pour cela, le stagiaire cherchera dans un premier temps à trouver le meilleur logiciel pour faire cette […]

The interns involved in this MITACS cluster will work in close collaboration with the industrial partner, Grafoid, a Canadian company based in Kingston, Ontario, to develop a portfolio of graphene-based products, including autonomous sensors, energy storage, fuel cells and electrically conductive devices. The ultimate objective is to develop proof of concept products including automotive parts, […]

The HIV epidemic and risk behaviour in the DTES will be modelled as stochastic processes on a network. Nodes in the network will represent individuals and links social interactions between them. Stochastic contact processes on the network links will be used to model both transmission of HIV and social influence. The network will capture transmission […]

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) have become an attractive solution to make infrastructure corrosion- and disaster-resistant. Cities like Toronto have numerous structures and bridges already retrofitted with FRP and many more underway. However, FRPs effectiveness and and durability is sensitive to extreme thermal conditions, which can cause significant mechanical and durability issues. Climate change, one of […]

Au Canada, les petites installations d’assainissement autonome (non-raccordées aux réseaux d’égout) contribuent à produire 20% de la quantité totale des eaux usées. Ces petites installations de traitement des eaux résiduaires sont souvent caractérisées par une difficulté à atteindre les normes de rejets, lesquelles sont de plus en plus sévères. La dénitrification autotrophe utilisant le soufre […]

The large global production quantity of particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF) creates equal quantity of particleboard and MDF waste after completing their service life. Given increasing demand for green products and the new government’s environmental policies, it is urgent to develop technologies to recycle these used composite panels into valuable raw materials for manufacturing […]

In recent years, significant scientific breakthroughs have opened the door to harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. One potential group of targets, known as G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), have proven challenging due to their membrane localization and the existence of several close analogues, which often leads to ineffective or even non-specific mode of […]

This project is with Airpura – a developer of indoor air purifiers. We plan to develop a prototype and upscale the technology of recyclable coated iron-oxide systems, incorporated in the design, from the laboratory-scale to final consumer product use. The newly introduced adsorbent system serves to increase the removal efficiency of the volatile pollutants less […]
