The purpose of this project is to identify bees and evaluate plant-pollinator networks based on the biomonitoring surveys conducted at the Meadoway in 2020-2021 with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The aim of these surveys is to develop a baseline understanding of bee diversity in The Meadoway and evaluate the effects of plant […]

Heart failure (HF) is the third most common reason for hospitalization in Canada, where, the direct health care costs of HF are $2.8 billion. HF affects 600,000 Canadians with median survival of only 1.5 years after diagnosis. HF patients stay longer at hospital. Even after discharge, 1 out of 5 of patients returns to the […]

Le projet de recherche dont il est question entend répondre à une préoccupation de la Fédération interprofessionnelle de la santé du Québec (FIQ) voulant établir le portrait, des contraintes vécues par les infirmières exerçant dans des secteurs de soins spécialisés, s’enquérir de la façon dont elles souhaiteraient exercer, et connaître les idées qu’elles ont d’actions […]

This study aims to produce a feasibility report on establishing a district energy system in Haliburton, Ontario. The district energy system will be powered by wood chips sourced by a local, privately held forest and transported by truck to the proposed biomass energy centre. Areas that will be examined in this study include transportation costs […]

The objective of the research is to validate and enhance production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers from hemp stems, agricultural waste. Two interns will carry out the proposed work to upcycling hemp stems into the biopolymers with advanced biotechnologies of fermentation and PHA synthesis. The final biopolymers produced from hemp stems will be characterized for physical, […]

Municipalities across Canada have declared climate emergencies but are they able to deliver solutions and make change in their communities? What is the role of municipal land use planning tools, such as zoning, green performance standards, and urban design guidelines? Which tools are poised to have the highest impact? Climate change policies related to energy […]

In many industrial and engineering applications, process control plays a central role. Among the possible control strategies, model predictive control (MPC), also called receding horizon control (RHC) , stands out for its excellent ability to handle constraints. While MPC has been successfully applied to many industrial applications, further developments are limited when it becomes necessary […]

The main objective of this project is to design a novel plastic recycling technology invented by GreeNovel Incorporation. The process is based on microwave pyrolysis of the wastes at high temperatures and in the absence of oxygen to be decomposed to pyrolysis-oil and gas. The modelling of the novel microwave pyrolysis system and the product […]

Natural gas power generation is a cost-effective method of generating electricity. NG power generators have been successfully installed in a wide variety of energy intensive facilities in Canada, including district energy systems, wastewater treatment facilities, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, office buildings, and residential buildings. However, more than 60% of the energy is wasted in the […]

Tidal marshes are essential ecosystems both economically and ecologically. They provide many natural resources, such as filtering pollutants from water and providing flood protection. However, since the 1980s, we have lost about 80% of the world’s wetlands including many tidal marshes. This internship aims to identify the role of goose herbivory on marsh vegetation as […]
