Principales installations

McGill Institute for Advance Materials-MIAM’s vision is to discover, design, fabricate and understand new materials. MIAM research facilities: McGill Nanotools Microfab (MNM)is a micro-nanotechnology platform that is aimed at providing micro-nanofabrication tools and know-how to academic and industrial research; Characterization Facility comprises major tools for the development of both chemical and biological functionalization processes.

Centre for Intelligent Machines (CIM) is to excel in the field of intelligent systems, stressing basic research, technology development and education. Research: Robotics, Design, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Medical Imaging, Haptics, Systems and Control.

Transportation Research At McGill (TRAM) led by Ahmed M. El-Geneidy is to generate valuable research of benefit to the community and to educate students through real world transportation planning projects.

Grands projets

Development of Optimal Electric Drive Trains for On-Road Vehicles led by Dr Benoit Boulet aims to develop optimal electric drivetrains for electric vehicles offering high performance at low cost. These integrated systems will consist of a permanent magnet electric motor and its drive coupled to a controlled multi-speed-ratio transmission for the EV market.

Design and analysis of hybrid joints (bonded and bolted) for aerospace structures led by Dr Larry Lessard aims to develop an optimized design methodology for combined bolted and bonded joints for attaching composite structures. When analyzed independently, there are existing methodologies for both bonded and bolted joints. Combined together as load transfer mechanisms within a joint, the problem becomes more complex.
