Providing reliable and efficient services for electric vehicle (EV) users requires implementing cyber layers alongside the physical infrastructure within EV ecosystems. Nevertheless, the introduction of these cyber layers exposes these ecosystems to various cyber threats, including data manipulation, malware injection, and intrusions, strategically designed to disrupt power distribution networks. Building upon this, the proposal aims […]

The internships proposed here deal with the development of a physical prototype and efficient mathematical models of a modular multi-level converter (MMC). MMCs have attracted a great deal of attention as a promising technology for the new generation of high-voltage dc power transmission systems. Development of a physical laboratory prototype MMC is an essential step […]

Understanding the underlying factors that cause inherited diseases to develop is an important step in improving the health status of individuals, and identifying effective prevention and control measures. This project aims to apply fundamental know of genetics, genome sequence analysis, modeling and simulations, and bio-informatics to uncover the relationship between these factors and assess the […]

This project proposes the development of a comprehensive Portable Charging System (PCS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) integrating Level III DC fast charging and wireless charging technologies. The system aims to enhance EV charging convenience and flexibility by providing a compact and portable solution for on-the-go charging. The Level III DC fast charging capability ensures rapid […]

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites provide wide area global perspectives through images of the Earth’s surfaces and its governing processes. Capable of detecting small variations in surface roughness, and unconstrained by lighting and weather conditions, SAR is a robust remote sensing instrument. Designing and operating a SAR is a complex process, as there are numerous […]

Research will be conducted to determine the best way to visualize and operationalize engine performance data collected in real-time for vessel owners and operators. Performance data will be correlated to weather and sea conditions to understand their impacts on fuel usage and emissions. The methods of displaying data will be explored to determine the best […]

The project titled, Commercialization of Online Youth Mental Health Services, is a project designed to help support the development and execution of ConnectedCare’s online strategy and future partnerships. This project is designed to work directly with potential clients and with various sources of funding to finalize partnership agreements and design fit for purposeful mental health […]

Sustainable access to energy requires a shift from carbon-intensive sources. Hence, this project aims to improve efficiency of national energy systems via informed decision-making. The holistic modelling framework will integrate individual aspects of energy production and consumption in buildings. Our platform will simulate and optimize the energy source composition to minimize emissions and economic impact. […]

Les commerces de proximité sont un signe fort du dynamisme et de l’attractivité d’une ville. Les habitudes de consommation des citoyens ont fortement changé depuis les deux dernières décennies en lien avec l’introduction des technologies pour le commerce électronique et les plateformes de médias sociaux. Cela s’est accentué durant la période du COVID, il semble […]

With the escalating demand for sustainability and climate monitoring, LoRa mesh networks have proven instrumental in large-scale environmental monitoring. Serving as the final link in a mesh network, gateways play a critical role by gathering measurements from each sensor and transmitting them to the internet. The performance of gateways is crucial to the efficacy of […]

In metastasis, cancer cells break away from where they were first formed (primary cancer) and travel to other parts of the body and form new (metastatic) tumours, which ultimately results in poor outcomes for cancer patients. Although surgical excision of metastatic tumour is often required, the act of surgery itself elicits profound suppression of immune […]

We live in an age of distraction and mind-wandering, which has been broadly linked to greater levels of unhappiness, suggesting that many of us might benefit from mindfulness training that allows us to better control our attention. Interaxon Inc. has developed a potentially breakthrough solution to this problem in a device that measures brain activity […]
