In this project, we will utilize thermal feedback for target position identification in a virtual environment, e.g., allow users to know the location and distance of a virtual object with respect to their position based on the location and intensity of the thermal feedback. Our goal is to design and develop a new VR application […]

L’aluminium, utilisé dans les secteurs des transports pour ses caractéristiques de légèreté et de robustesse, se trouve souvent sous forme d’extrusions comme les poutres de châssis et de carrosserie. Toutefois, les propriétés des pièces extrudées varient fortement en fonction des conditions de fabrication, telles que la température et la vitesse de déformation, ce qui entraîne […]

Development of a system (template, plugin, API) to integrate cloud based services such as GIS, IoT and interactive gaming streams into a browser based user interface.

Les prothèses myoélectriques permettent aux personnes amputées de contrôler un bras artificiel en captant les signaux électriques des muscles, appelés signaux électromyographiques (EMG). Cependant, ces prothèses restent limitées par des variations de ces signaux, causées par des facteurs comme la sueur, la fatigue ou le déplacement des électrodes, ce qui entraîne des pertes de précision […]

The project concentrates on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) fabrication process optimization. MEMS devices comprise suspended structures, such as cantilevers, gyros, membranes, etc., which are created by removing sacrificial material around them in order to have these structures released to perform their designated function. Currently, these structures are being released with the use of either dry etch […]

Hybrid bonding interconnection has increasingly been recognized as the unique bonding method that meets the demands for high-density chip stacking. Cu/SiO2?hybrid bonding is the standard packing interface recently introduced in the industry. However, it faces […]

This project focuses on creating titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles using the sol-gel method, studying their properties, and using them to break down doxycycline, an antibiotic, in water. It addresses water pollution, a key issue in Canada, by developing affordable and effective ways to remove harmful pharmaceutical pollutants. TiO2 is a powerful material for cleaning water, […]

The goal of this project is to develop a class of smart materials known as “Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers” which undergo shape change and exhibit locomotion by an applied electric field. Ferroelectric molecules will be specifically used in the design and synthesis of these materials which are expected to increase the dielectric constant of the […]
