This project focusses on the modernization of energy system modelling with considerations for greater levels of sustainable energy and carbon-neutral footprints.

Rolling element bearings act as the heart of rotating machines. Any imperfection in their condition can lead to an abrupt failure which can be catastrophic. For more than two decades, implementing sensors for condition monitoring of bearings has been beneficial in preventing abrupt failure and fault detection. These sensors require a noise-free atmosphere to have […]

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones have numerous applications in different industries. However, drones have limitations such as short flight time, limited flight range, and navigational inaccuracy in regions with unreliable GPS signal. To mitigate these limitations, using a group of drones to cooperatively perform the mission is proposed. The resulting parallel operation increases the […]

Light is a powerful sensing tool that humans are very familiar with. We are, however, only sensitive to a visible light. Much more can be learned from other types of light. Terahertz light is very low energy light that allows very sensitive non-invasive measurements to be made on many types of samples including biological and […]

This project is a partnership between Concordia University and Aedo AI, to upgrade an existing construction project data repository into an intelligent platform for analyzing project performance and providing advanced analytics based on (i) correlations between projects’ different facets (including actors involved, the facility being built, and workflow processes being executed); and (ii) interactions among […]

The Canadian agricultural sector is facing a wide range of challenges that include depleting natural resources (e.g., water), environmental pollution (e.g., fertilizers), and climate change. Precision agriculture is a method of farming that uses technologies to monitor soil and crop status and support timely and variable-rate farming practices. It is thus a promising approach to […]

The proposed research projects will expand the scope of computer algebra systems (CAS) into two areas where much remains to be done: symbolic analysis and polyhedral geometry. One of the proposed research projects will also strengthen CAS in one of their well-established territory, namely symbolic integration. These themes will support applications such as the analysis, […]

Financial variables modelling plays an essential role in computational finance and risk management. Recent research has shown that public sentiment and other information expressed in the natural text such as news articles are important factors correlated with financial variables. The main purpose of this project is to better model financial variables such as market indices […]

Individuals that survive a stroke are left with long-term movement impairment at the affected arm that negatively impact their performance in daily activities. Robotic arm devices and virtual reality can help improve recovery following a stroke, and the optimal VR game needs to be challenging, adaptable and reflecting as closely as possible reality to support […]

As part of its long-term growth strategy, CP Business Solutions Inc. aims to work with medium and large enterprises and organizations. To achieve its goal, CP Business Solutions Inc. has selected a number of possible clients […]

CONFORMiT seeks to prevent serious injuries and fatalities and high potential events by providing administrative control solutions that can enable businesses to manage critical risks within their operations. To accomplish its main mission, the firm uses its consulting experience in the design of safety programs according to standards; the design and provision of training; identification […]

Climate change will cause increasing temperature fluctuations and longer heat waves. This will make home cooling essential, but adding and using cooling can be too expensive for low-income homeowners, including seniors. Incentive programs exist to help people make energy-efficient retrofits to their homes, but they can increase housing costs. This does not work for many […]
