Suppression of self-biased phototransistor effect in InP-based photonic modulators

The project relates to a key electro-optic component used in optical modems that route internet traffic between cities, countries, and continents. These high-bandwidth long-haul systems are also being evaluated to solve the problem of moving data between data centers and even within data centers for high-bandwidth applications such as cloud services and artificial intelligence. The […]

Hollow-core Extruder Auger Metallurgy

The proposed project aims to develop a reproducible recipe for producing concrete augers that meet current expectations for wear performance and longevity. The project involves structural characterization of the hard matrix, particularly, the distribution and morphology of martensite, and the hardening particles, including various carbides embedded in such matrix. The hardness of different regions will […]

Investigation and Development of a Sensor and Imagery System to Physically Validate Performance of Conformally Cooled Tooling

This project will create a first of its kind system to measure and validate the performance of conformally cooled tooling (CCT) for die casting and injection molding. CCT increases production efficiency and quality helping Canadian manufacturing to stay competitive with foreign manufacturers. Yet, many manufacturers are reluctant to adopt CCTs due to uncertainty around its […]

A 3D-Printed Smart Insole for Plantar Pressure and Foot Orientation Monitoring

Imagine shoes with built-in sensors that can track how your feet move! This internship project is about developing insoles with special air pockets that sense pressure. These insoles would be 3D-printed for a perfect fit and could be worn during regular human movement. By comparing this data with existing methods like pressure plates, we’ll see […]
