The proposed university-industry research aims to develop a biodegradable polymer with a target application in personal protective equipment (PPE), aligned with the ongoing global research efforts towards Next Generation Plastics (NGPs). The new NGP is expected to fully degrade within 2-5 years when disposed in soil and exposed to a combination of water, UV and […]

Torso-borne protective clothing and load carrying equipment (ie. bulletproof vests) is fundamental to the safety of Canadian Armed Forces personnel. To make informed decisions on purchasing and developing new equipment, a suite of mannequin-based tools was developed by Defense Research and Development Canada. They are developing a female model to reflect the Canadian Armed Forces’ […]

The computing solutions of tomorrow must be more energy efficient than those of today, which requires combined efforts to be conducted on multiple research areas: from new transistor technologies to innovative software algorithms by way of original processor architectures. This project enters into this last research area by revisiting the vector processing model, which provides […]

Broadcast radio is changing from an analog medium based on frequency modulation (FM) to a full digital broadcast based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The high peak-to-average power ratio of the OFDM waveform requires different power amplifier topologies and a high degree of linearity. The research in this project analyzes current amplifier performance for […]

The deployment of tidal turbine equipment in the Bay of Fundy can potentially impact marine life in the environment. There is a large population of harbour porpoises that can be affected by this equipment, and it is important to detect their presence and locate them. In this work, a tool to visualize harbour porpoises in […]

Triumvira a, Canadian US, post series A, biotech company, working on the development of a new targeted cancer therapies. The core technology is focused on the genetic engineering of immune cells isolated from patients. This process then enables these immune cells to recognise cancer cells that otherwise are invisible to the immune system. These therapies […]

For producers of film and TV, extending a brand into the digital space can be a daunting enterprise. Estimating how successful a Twitter campaign or an Alternate Reality Game has been in fostering the proliferation and audience goodwill towards a TV or Film entity can be a frustratingly inscrutable endeavor. Even if a campaign seems […]

The proposed project implements the applications of virtual view of indoor environments and objects in 360 degrees, thereby encouraging people to check the information of rooms and products online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, six objectives are proposed, each undertaken by two interns, to build a virtual view system satisfying different scenarios. With collected indoor […]

We continue to build our capacity but at a slower rate to ensure that we survive the slowdown that the pandemic has created. We have focused on internal projects but are now returning to client projects as the market picks up. The Intern will research markets to understand evolving customer needs, market size, trends, and […]

The company is currently focused on building a vibrant and growing Atlantic Canadianeconomy by using technology to unlock our region’s potential. COVID has impacted our day-to-day goals as an organization. As part of one of one of our projects, we want to create a full story around the barriers and opportunities to advancing digital transformation.

The proposed project is a collaboration between the Bradley research group at McMaster University and Intlvac, located in Halton Hills, ON, on the development of novel deposition methods and thin film materials for high performance optical coatings. Intlvac has a long history of developing state of the art deposition systems for coatings and thin films, […]

L’industrie minérale a besoin de nouvelles méthodes et d’outils pour relever les défis que représente la diminution des réserves minérales et l’augmentation des coûts d’exploration et d’exploitation. La spectroscopie laser plasma (LIBS – Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) est un outil géoanalytique émergent qui offre une suite unique d’avantages pour l’industrie minérale. La LIBS peut fournir une […]
