This research project seeks to develop the Ultrasonic-Electrical Concrete Assessment Method, an innovative approach for early detection of micro-cracks in concrete structures within nuclear power plants. These micro-cracks can compromise the structural integrity of concrete, increasing vulnerability to damage and potentially affecting safety and performance. By integrating advanced technologies—including ultrasonic waves, electrical measurements, thermal imaging, […]

The research project focuses on improving and optimizing planar transformers used in safety devices for hazardous areas. The intern will work with HB Safety Automation Group Inc., which develops explosion-proof safety barriers. The project aims to enhance transformer efficiency and safety by optimizing core materials like Manganese-Zinc and Nickel-Zinc ferrites. This will help solve issues […]

MealLens Inc. is developing an AI-driven meal-planning solution designed to help users efficiently manage food ingredients and optimize meal preparation. This project focuses on enhancing the system’s ability to recognize and process ingredient information while improving overall accuracy, user experience, and scalability. The expected outcome is a more intelligent and adaptable platform that will contribute […]

The project is composed of several Microsoft Identity Access and Management projects within the Enterprise team at CrucialLogics. The intern will be closely working with the Project Management Office to deliver Microsoft security solutions for a large Enterprise customer.

Wastewater treatment plants contribute to greenhouse gas emissions through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are produced during various treatment processes. During biological nutrient removal in wastewater treatment, processes such as activated sludge can generate N2O (a potent greenhouse gas) during total nitrogen removal. Further energy consumption in […]

La détection des engins de pêche perdus en mer est un défi environnemental majeur. Ce projet développe une application innovante pour détecter ces engins en analysant les données de sonars sidescan au format .xtf. Elle se divise en trois sections : détection des engins, étiquetage et entraînement, et carte des engins. La première section charge […]

The increasing wildfires threaten, indirectly, water quality by altering physicochemical properties and introducing contaminants to water bodies. This research aims to address how wildfire pollutants impact water systems, identify research gaps, and analyze data from Canada and worldwide to understand trends and mitigate impacts on water resources.

Precision medicine is showing great promise in the fight against cancer. One of the major hurdles is how to best target cancer cells for destruction while sparing normal ones because both share many of the same attributes or “targets”. However, when cancer grows, tumors create a microenvironment around them, the TME or tumor microenvironment. The […]

Le secteur industriel est le plus grand consommateur d’énergie au Québec, représentant environ 40 % de la consommation totale d’énergie. L’amélioration de la gestion de l’énergie dans ce secteur est un objectif essentiel, tant pour le fournisseur d’énergie et les clients, compte tenu des coûts de l’énergie, des impacts environnementaux et des ressources disponibles. En […]

Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations are often used nowadays for analyzing the transient behaviour of power systems. However, due to the large size and complexity of modern-day power networks, simulating them in EMT programs can become excessively slow. Multi-rate simulation is one of the effective ways of speeding up EMT simulations. In this approach, only critical […]

In Canada, there is still a lack of wastewater treatment systems for enormous number of remote communities and industrial sites. Therefore, a mobile and cost-effective waste treatment system is urgently desired for scattered water treatment demands. This project aims at the development of a ZrO2/sericin-membrane-enhanced integrated mobile system (IMS) for decentralized wastewater treatment with energy […]

Our project seeks to document the criminalization of Indigenous fishers and fisheries in so-called Canada and beyond, and use equitable knowledge-bridging and research co-creation tools to explore possibilities of transformation towards justice. The criminalization of Indigenous fisheries (among other cultural, spiritual, and subsistence practices) is a destructive colonial practice that leads to inequity, loss of […]
