The most energy intensive component of mineral processing is comminution (crushing and grinding), consuming, on average, about 50% of the total electric energy of a mine site. To optimize and thereby improve the energy performance, accurate measurement of the ore hardness is critical. The proposed study is aimed at developing a new test apparatus that […]

The Niagara Escarpment is a dominant natural feature in southern Ontario and provides the region with exceptional sites of natural beauty including numerous waterfalls and exposed rocky cliffs. There is little data on geomorphic characteristics of rivers along the escarpment and their sensitivity to erosion under future land development and climate change. The proposed project […]

Mobile brain fitness applications such as Vivity Lab’s Fit Brains aims to improve cognitive performance through frequent brain exercise games. This concept is based on previous research that frequent video gaming can produce transferrable cognitive improvement in another related cognitive task in the same domain (i.e. reaction speed while driving). Although the efficacy of mobile […]

The manufacture of “smart devices” requires a large number of connected, low-cost embedded digital systems that are typically electronically connected on circuit boards. Our project develops a system to integrate functional materials directly into these boards which can provide or extend the capabilities of devices with functionalities such as memory, batteries or sensors. We develop […]

The aim of the project is to develop innovative workflows to recover genetic material (DNA & RNA) from human microbiome samples collected in DNA Genotek’s devices. The project will also test novel genome-editing tools (i.e. CRISPR) and their ability to selectively remove human DNA in samples containing high quantities of host background. The project will […]

The proposed project aims to construct a robust and versatile roll-to-roll (R2R) magnetron sputtering system for thin film deposition. That system will favor the production of thin films of different materials with tailored properties and functionality onto flexible substrates in a single step. This will be made through a system composed of different stations with […]

Ce projet consiste à mener une recherche visant à éclairer le phénomène inédit qu’est la pandémie de la COVID-19 comme choc de carrière et dont les résultats probants seront valorisés par une action de formation auprès des professionnelles et professionnels en counseling et développement de carrière. Une approche quantitative par questionnaire adressé aux adultes anglophones […]

Organic compounds in water can be potentially hazardous. We will develop a green and solvent-free method for screening the organic pollutants in different water samples. Also, we will study the changes in water during the different treatment process. This research will benefit the community and provide a protection protocol.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized as one of the top three major threats to public health besides cancers and climate change. In response to the AMR crisis, there is an urgent need to establish a standardized, user-friendly, on-site testing method for real-time data collection, analysis, and integration. Drug-resistant Salmonella is a representative foodborne pathogen […]

Le projet consiste à solutionner la dichotomie qui existe entre le site web principal de l’organisme partenaire qui lui, vient d’être refait en utilisant les dernières technologies web disponibles, et son système dédié au support technique. De plus, ce dernier n’étant pas responsif, il peut être difficile d’utilisation pour les clients. Enfin, le contenu de […]
