Golder Associates Inc. is the Technical Lead Consultant on the Environmental Assessment for the expansion of the W12A landfill of the City of London. One key aspect of this project is landfill design alternatives and the impact on air quality and, specifically, odour issues. The proposed project aims at providing critically valuable information regarding local […]

British Columbia’s (BC) resident killer whales are listed under the Species At Risk Act as ‘threatened’ and ‘endangered’ for the northern and southern residents, respectively. Contaminants have been recognized as one of the main threats affecting the survival and recovery of these populations. This project will look at the levels of contaminants of concern in […]

The handling and storage of perishables like vaccines are critical to retain medical potency and effectiveness for patient administration. The delivery of vaccines can succumb to several pitfalls such as physical damage, losses in transit and expiration. One of the primary causes of vaccine wastage is a result of heat and freezing of the biological […]

BrainBox AI is working on the mandate to provide better solutions for optimized control of HVAC systems modeled through data using AI. The Intern will continue our research at BrainBox AI and to continue to develop data driven approaches for an optimized operation of HVAC systems in design and implementation of scalable AI frameworks for […]

Metabolomics is an emerging field of research that provides insight into health and disease by studying the levels of various small molecules (metabolites) in the body. In this project, we are developing new tools that will improve and standardize methods for collecting and stabilizing fecal samples for metabolomics studies based on the analysis of fecal […]

This MIT ACS-Accelerate proposal is the first involving a multiple stage project to be developed as part of my PhD investigation. Through the completion of the full research project, the initiatives implemented by mining companies to address the socio-economic impact imposed on local communities when a mine ceases operation will be analyzed. Additionally, a socio-economic […]

Indoor farming offers the opportunity to grow produce close to the consumer and has recently been gaining attention due to its efficiency, controllability, and sustainability. In indoor farming, food is grown indoors in a controllable environment, with stable environmental conditions. This approach reduces the land footprint required, the demand for energy and water, the nutrient […]

This project is intended to support the deployment of an underwater communication network, that is multi-hop and multi-modal. It relies on the combination of acoustic propagation and magnetic-induction to send the information from a remote instrument through a set of relay nodes and to a destination. To enable end-to-end transmission over a secured link, secured […]

Le présent projet vise une plus grande intégration de la biodiversité et des services écologiques (BSE) dans les stratégies des entreprises et des organisations au Québec. Pour atteindre ce résultat, le projet se fixe notamment comme but d’élaborer une méthode simple d’autodiagnostic qui permettra aux entreprises de déterminer les risques corporatifs et occasions d’affaires liés […]

La fiabilité des alternateurs hydrauliques est un sujet d’importance pour les utilitaires afin d’assurer la fiabilité de l’approvisionnement en énergie électrique. La maintenance de ces équipements est donc un outil important dans la gestion et l’exploitation d’un parc d’alternateurs. Après un certain nombre d’années de fonctionnement, l’usure de ces equipements peut mener a I’apparition de […]

There is massive growth in the area of smart cities (e.g. sensors in streetlights), smart cars, and “smart people” (sensors on people, e.g. wearable computing). In some cities like San Diego, there are cameras and microphones in nearly every streetlight in the downtown core area. Most cars made now have one or more cameras in […]

Automation Studio™ offre un environnement convivial pour la simulation. Il peut échanger de l’information avec l’environnement externe via OPC. Toutefois les logiques de contrôle restent internes et ne donnent pas la possibilité de transfert vers un contrôleur industriel cible. Une communication avec l’environnement externe donne un avantage à Famic technologie pour interagir avec les contrôleurs […]
