Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology$493Kvalue2017start–end

This project aims at developing a novel technology targeting computing systems used on satellites and spacecraft, with the potential for substantially extending the device lifetime. This technology will be demonstrated with a nanosatellite mission, which will include novel microthruster (used for deorbiting) and plant growth experiments. Students involved in this program will have the opportunity of being exposed to advanced technologies for data handling systems of space missions, nanosat propulsion systems, and flight hardware development.

Quantum-enhanced broadband mid-IR spectroscopy$387Kvalue2025start2028end

The Project combines leading Canadian expertise in ultra-broadband mid-IR quantum light generation (Polytechnique Montreal, PolyM) and applies it to the critical mission of nanomaterial characterization and classification at the NRC, focusing on nanomaterials used in health applications. The project will develop bright squeezed entangled light sources in the SWIR and MIR for use in chemical sensing applications. The enhanced sensitivity achievable using these sources will be validated against current IR spectroscopy techniques.

A Novel Aero-Engine Architecture for Taking Full Advantage of Hydrogen as the Fuel$360Kvalue2025start2028end

The aviation industry is committed to decarbonization. Among the options, hydrogen (H2) holds great promise for long-haul airliners. Within the H2 portfolio, H2 fuel cells may not meet the power-density requirements for longhaul applications in the foreseeable future, which leaves H2-fueled gas turbines as the one viable technical pathway. H2 as an aviation fuel is fundamentally different from kerosene-based jet fuels and brings great new potentials: it is stable at the elevated temperatures of engine hot-gas path components (combustor liners and turbine blades). In addition, H2 needs to be s

Project NODE: Nonlinear-Optical Deterministic Entanglement for Quantum Interconnects$350Kvalue2026start2029end

Project NODE develops a new class of deterministic, room-temperature quantum-network components based on optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs). These devices, long used in classical fibre telecommunication systems and electronics, can generate, strengthen, entangle, and measure quantum light, offering a unified solution to the limitations of today’s probabilistic and often cryogenic quantum technologies. The project will build and test broadband OPAs at telecom wavelengths, explore how they operate from conventional “classical-pump’’ regimes to genuinely quantum regimes where the pump and light

In situ Detection and Characterization of microplastics in the ocean—model building$57.8Kvalue2024start2026end

The project focuses on developing numerical models (computational fluid mechanics and acoustophoresis) to predict the dynamics of plastic particles in water in the presence of acoustic forcing. The models to be developed as part of the project will identify and quantify the impact of acoustic forcing on the trajectory of microplastics in a confined environment, in order to control their trajectory under a wide range of conditions (temperature, current velocity, etc.). The model developed will then be validated in the laboratory by both the NRC and Polytechnique Montréal. The resulting tools wi
