Polyurethane foams are so commonly used, from rigid dashboards in cars, to insulation in buildings, and the comfy mattresses we sleep upon. Replacing the petrochemical resources used to make them with renewable resources like bark would be a great stride towards sustainability. In order for this to be done the conversion process of bark into […]

This project will explore how organizations with global operations implement change initiatives for greater environmental and social sustainability over time. Specifically, we are interested in how employees from various global sites make sense of these change and enact initiatives and whether there are different patterns of sensemaking and enactment among the company’s global subsidiaries. When […]

Fresh air ventilation is necessary to create a healthy indoor living environment. It involves removing stale, moist indoor air and replacing it with fresh outside air. However, energy required for cooling and dehumidifying fresh air accounts for a significant portion (20–40%) of the total energy use in air conditioning. Thus, ‘recycling’ the energy (i.e. heat […]

Among the different sub-systems in an aircraft, the environmental control system is the one responsible for the control of temperature, pressure and humidity in the cabin and is crucial to passenger comfort. This system has around 40 components including heat exchangers, compressors, and turbines. Recirculation at different levels complexifies the modeling and simulation of such […]

Pharmaceutical companies are required to perform stability testing of their drug products by regulation. A drug product that succeeds on stability testing means that its identity, potency, and purity remain within pre-established limits over its shelf life. Nowadays, drug products are more frequently reformulated in response to a highly competitive market, new research discoveries and […]

Due to abundant reserves and environmental cleanliness, natural gas has introduced the environmentally friendly vehicles – natural gas-powered vehicles (NGVs), which have the potential of providing a solution to air quality problems. However, low volumetric energy density of natural gas results in NGVs’ short-range driving, inhibiting them from widespread adoption. A conformable pressure tank is […]

Unprecedented advances have been made in Radiation Therapy during the past two decades. High precision treatment plan is generated using sophisticated optimization methods, and treatment is delivered with complex intensity modulation techniques. Due to the complexity, the burden of Quality Assurance (QA) for modern radiotherapy has also increased dramatically. Many staff and machine hours are […]

Cryogenic treatment will be considered as a promising process to attain better mechanical properties and higher wear resistance. Previous researches have shown very bright perspectives in achieving significant improvement in mechanical properties and wear resistance of tool steels However, a cohesive picture about what exactly modifies microstructure at cryogenic temperature does not exist. In addition, […]

This project supports MedMe Health’s expansion into the U.S. market by improving how the company communicates its value as an AI-powered pharmacy platform. The intern will redesign MedMe’s website and create new marketing materials—such as videos, social graphics, brochures, and trade show visuals—to clearly explain the company’s products and AI capabilities to American pharmacies. Using […]

This project aims to advance real-time quality control in printed and flexible electronics manufacturing through the development and simulation of resonant metasurfaces. The work supports the commercialization of the TRAQC system—an AI-driven, terahertz-based inspection platform designed for in-line defect detection and material characterization. The research focuses on designing printable metasurface patterns made from different conductive […]

Son premier produit, déjà en phase de développement, permet de recharger sans fil des fauteuils roulants électriques dans les centres pour personnes âgées, améliorant ainsi l’autonomie des usagers et réduisant la charge de travail du personnel soignant. Dans le cadre de ses efforts pour développer de futurs produits et augmenter les performances de ses systèmes, […]

The proposed internship aims to study how the characteristics and reliability of Permanent Magnet Electric Motors (PMs) affect their life-cycle cost (LCC), including initial, maintenance, and energy costs. First, the effect of the variation of design variables on the performance and initial cost of PMs will be assessed and the cost will be correlated to […]
