The project will sponsor an intern’s visit to UNL. The intern is a Concordia student co-supervised by her Canadian supervisor (Concordia) and her American supervisor (UNL). The topic is an integrated part of the intern’s PhD study, which synthesizes, analyzes, and evaluates economic incentives (e.g., tax breaks, subsidies) required by sustainable energy transitions of Quebec […]

This project is an interdisciplinary investigation of the music in online communities or digitally-oriented aspects in Jewish institutions and groups based in Montreal and the surrounding area. This project fully supports the intern’s career growth by stimulating a rich inquiry into the diversity of the intangible heritage of Jewish Montreal; in so doing it is […]

This project aims to employ cutting-edge deep learning models to address the critical issue of water leakage in water distribution networks (WDNs). Leakage in WDNs leads to significant water wastage, infrastructure damage, service disruption, and even contamination. The proposed approach leverages Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained explicitly for optimizing leak detection. Using synthetic datasets that […]

This project deals with designing an efficient polygeneration process that incorporates municipal solid waste (MSW) drying and conversion to syngas process for reducing the load on the hydrogen unit of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes. The main benefit of this system is the production of high-pressure steam and high-quality syngas with minimum greenhouse gas […]

The proposed research project addresses the critical issue of the ground responses of frozen soils in cold regions, specifically focusing on the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of frozen soils during freeze-thaw actions. During the ground freezing process, the freezing front penetrates progressively downward in soils and frost heave can be generated. Frost heave is a common cause […]

“Cairo’s Public Space Problem: A Historical Overview” aims to study the development and de-development of urban sites allowing the free gathering of Egyptians from different classes during the first half of the twentieth century. It explores the different forces at play–local and global, popular and state–in determining the shape of Cairo’s public squares, parks, and […]

This research will study an efficient method for extracting germanium from waste fiber optics cables. Germanium is widely used in optical fibers, infrared optics, and solar energy industry. Optical fiber is the major application of germanium. Germanium possesses various properties that can make positive impact on these fields. The demand for germanium will increase with […]

Canada is a world leader in mineral exploration and mining technology, but the discovery of new mineral resources is declining. The development of new mineralogical tools which guide exploration is becoming increasingly important for the mining industry. This study will investigate the potential to use mineral chemistry to develop vectors around Au and Cu deposits […]

Molecular artificial photosynthesis is a promising solution to achieve independence of finite fossil fuels and provide an environmental and climate-benign energy supply. In this context, molecular hydrogen is a powerful fuel and consequently the development of molecular photocatalytic systems for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), half-reaction of the water-splitting process, is one of the great […]

In collaboration with CAE, the project’s primary goal is to identify an appropriate material to isolate a battery pack in a hybrid electric aircraft. The chosen material must be as light as possible, while meeting appropriate safety standards. This battery module will be integrated into an aircraft for testing by the industry partner. With a […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Les ingénieurs utilisent les précipitations maximales probables (PMP) pour concevoir des infrastructures résistantes aux aléas hydrométéorologiques. La PMP est définie par l’Organisation Mondiale Météorologique (OMM) comme la quantité maximale d’eau pouvant s’accumuler en une période donnée dans une région, indépendamment des tendances climatiques à long terme. Une mauvaise estimation de la PMP peut entraîner des […]
