In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, different equipment utilization rates of plants are vital to be studied, scheduled, and optimized. […]

This project aims to advance the development of fusion energy, a technology with the potential to provide nearly limitless, clean power for the future. General Fusion’s approach, known as pulsed fusion, differs from traditional methods by releasing energy in short, intense bursts rather than maintaining a continuous reaction. This method makes the process more controllable […]

Creating lifelike digital characters is essential for multimedia and video games, with realistic facial animations playing a crucial role. This requires playing high-quality facial animations in real-time. Many existing methods either compromise on quality, require too much computing power, or use excessive memory. Our research aims to develop new techniques that ensure high-quality facial animations […]

Étudier les systèmes de fermeture des contenants utilisés pour le réemballage afin de les comparer avec ceux des fabricants.

Ce projet de recherche vise à démontrer comment l’optimisation de l’application des principes de Kaizen peut transformer les pratiques de gestion des dossiers de production, en offrant des bénéfices significatifs en termes de qualité, de conformité et d’efficacité. Commençant par une revue de littérature sur l’application de la méthode kaizen dans différents types d’industries ce […]

The partner organization intends to decarbonize it’s Canadian lime kilns. One option is to switch to biogenic sources worldwide, although doing so will still result in CO2 emissions. A preferred option is to switch to hydrogen, because it is clean and results in higher kiln efficiency. The technology described in this proposal would advance these […]

This research internship will investigate how a self-powered sensor can be built that continuously measures the temperature, humidity and acceleration (i.e. shocks or bumps) that a musical instrument case is subjected to. The case sensor will be able to automatically connect wirelessly to smart phones (using a custom designed smart phone application) to provide a […]

The aim of the project is to develop molecules capable of treating cancer. Currently, chemotherapeutics used in the clinic kill cancer as well as healthy cells; this broad mechanism of action results in high toxicity to the patient. In contrast, our approach is to generate a targeted therapeutic that will work against STAT5, a specific […]

The project aims to improve how concussions in athletes are detected by using the Kinarm robotic platform, which measures sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. By analyzing data from healthy and concussed athletes, the project will develop a more accurate method for identifying neurological issues after a concussion. This will help the partner organization enhance athlete […]

MedMe Health, a leader in pharmacy software solutions, is embarking on an innovative project to enhance its platform’s front-end architecture and optimize key functionalities, particularly the appointment scheduling system. As the healthcare industry faces increasing demands for efficient, scalable, and user-friendly digital solutions, MedMe’s platform must evolve to maintain its competitive edge and continue providing […]

Ce projet a pour but d’améliorer le processus de suivi des études de stabilité des produits pharmaceutiques, afin de mettre à la disposition des patients des médicaments de haute qualité, mais également d’assurer la durabilité et la performance des services de soutient offert par Sandoz aux différentes parties prenantes.

Remotely monitoring the heart is crucial for reducing the hospital readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients. However, for aging populations with physical and cognitive limitations, existing monitoring techniques such as self-management or CardioMEMS remain demanding or invasive. There is a growing need for easy-to-use and non-invasive remote monitoring. Ballistocardiograph (BCG) measures the mechanical vibration […]
