Strategies de resolution pour le probleme d’engagement des groupes chez Hydro-Quebec

La transition energetique est bien entamee au Quebec et une des consequences importantes de cette transition est l’augmentation de la demande en energie electrique. De meilleurs outils de conduite du reseau comme ceux proposes dans ce projet, permettront de limiter l’impact de l’augmentation de la demande et ainsi faciliter l’integration de celle-ci sans freiner la transition energetique. Hydro-Quebec retirera plusieurs avantages de ce
projet. Tout d’abord, l’entreprise accedera a l’expertise disponibles des professeurs et etudiants de Polytechnique Montreal dans la resolution du probleme d’optimisation lineaire avec nombres entiers de grande taille. En plus, le
succes de ce projet est la capacite de resoudre le probleme d’engagement des groupes avec contraintes de stabilite transitoire en mains de 1 0 minutes, ce qui permettra une exploitation a la fois optimale et securitaire du reseau electrique d’Hydro-Quebec. Une exploitation plus optimale du reseau permettra une meilleure utilisation des ressources hydriques qui devrait resulter avec une augmentation de la charge pouvant etre alimentee par le
reseau. Cette possibilite nous amene a des gains pour la societe.

Novel imaging approaches to understand heart function

The most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting 2-3% of the general population. If left untreated, arrhythmias can lead to heart failure, stroke, or sudden death. A better understanding of AF mechanisms is needed to improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and create new therapeutic tools. We have developed a zebrafish model that carries a mutation in one of the genes commonly affected in AF patients. This model has several characteristics that resemble AF pathophysiology. Therefore, we aim to use this model in two major objectives: (1) identify factors that contribute to disease onset and progression and (2) develop an imaging-based approach to identify new anti-arrhythmic compounds that attenuate disease. In this project, the intern will visit the host lab to learn new imaging approaches that will help define mechanisms leading to disease.

Geochemical and isotope tracing of volcanic units in the Paleoproterozoic Hamersley basin in Australia and the Griqualand West basin in South Africa

The goal of this study is to determine the links between two critically important sedimentary basins that record major changes in the Earths atmosphere and surface environment around 2.5 billion years ago. These basins are now on different continents, the Hammersley basin in Australia, and the Griqualand West basin in South Africa, however when they were formed it is thought that they were connected. We have samples from ash horizons from both basins throughout the stratigraphy, and zircon from these ashes has been used to generate high precision U-Pb ages for the sediments. In this project, we intend to measure the trace element and Hf isotope composition of the zircon crystals that have been dated. This methodology has been developed by Princeton professor Dr. Blair Schoene and the Princeton lab is world leading in these types of measurements. We will use this data to understand the source of volcanism that has been recorded in the basins, allowing us to gain insight into their tectonic setting. we will also be able to trace the volcanic source for both basins over time to see whether they evolve consistently or not.

Epoxy-PEI interpenetrating polymer network enhanced with electric field-oriented carbon nanoparticles

This research project aims to investigate for the first time the electric field alignment of carbon nanoparticles in an epoxy-poly(ether imide) polymeric system, to enhance electrical conductivity in targeted directions. By applying and tuning an external electric field, the carbon nanoparticles are expected to rotate, create an interconnected network, and promote anisotropic electrical and thermal conduction. By exploring the polymer blend interfaces for the selective localization of nanoparticles combined with electric field alignment, the study aims to obtain a PEI/epoxy nanocomposite with high electrical conductivity at an ultra-low nanoparticle concentration while allowing for a tunable conduction pathway. The extent of alignment and its effects on the nanocomposite properties will be experimentally assessed using techniques such as rheology, microscopy, and dielectric measurements.

A mechanochemical method to produce polyethylenimine-grafted chitosan nanocrystal sorbent

Chitin is a biopolymer extracted from various biomass waste streams including crustaceans, cephalopods, insects, and fungus in large scale. It is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose and as such, constitutes the core component of the shell-biorefinery, as a part of blue-biorefinery. Chitosan, as the deacetylated version of chitin, features unique and attractive properties such as antimicrobial ability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, applicable to many fields including biomedicine, food, agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment. Many of the applications of chitosan was a result of its amine functionality. Solid-state methodologies such as mechanochemistry and aging are well suited in the context of biomass conversion and functionalization. Nanomaterials of polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin/chitosan has been a hot area in research. Studies on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), chitin nanosrystals (ChNC), and chitosan nanocrystals (ChsNC) and their applications have demonstrated huge potential in this class of materials. In this project we expect to explore phase transfer catalyzed mechanochemical methods for ChsNC functionalization, to development fundamental knowledge of the scope and mechanism of such reactions.

Role of DivIVA proteins in mycobacterial cell division

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second leading cause of mortality among infectious diseases. Mtb extensively remodels its cell-survival dynamics inside the host including the process of its division. Hence it is imperative to understand mycobacterial cell division. It is known that Mtb DivIVA protein called Wag31 is essential for cell elongation and maintains cellular morphology. The function of other DivIVA proteins remains obscure. We have identified two additional novel DivIVA domain containing proteins in mycobacteria. Our work with deletion mutants indicates their critical roles in maintaining cellular morphology and growth. We would like to utilize single-cell imaging approaches to study the localization of these proteins during the mycobacterial cell cycle as well as elucidate their role by monitoring the phenotypic effects upon overexpression and deletion of these genes. Insights gained from the above experiments would be crucial towards identification of new anti-TB drug targets.

Evaluating long-term global changes in lake sediment metal accumulation

Metal contamination in inland waters is of key concern for lake and human health. Unfortunately, our present understanding of
metal contamination in lakes across the world is fragmented, as long-term monitoring programs are rare. The study of lake
sediments offers an opportunity to address this gap, as sediments preserve a record of the environmental dynamics. Our project
will leverage lake sediments collected from over 400 lakes to assess how metal contamination has changed through space and
time across the global landscape. We are using emerging technologies to quantify metal contamination in lake sediments and
advanced statistical modelling to identify hotspots of change across the global landscape. Our research will develop a more
holistic picture and enhance our understanding of how lakes are responding to human activity. Overall, this provides critically
needed insight into how past environmental policy decisions have affected lakes on a global scale and thus provides a scientific
basis for informed decision-making going forward.

Hardware accelerated collision checking for robotics

The ability to quickly check if robot poses are not in collision with environment geometry is critical for robot applications that rely on forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, and path planning. It has been shown that during path planning 99% of the time is spent performing collision checks between the robot & its environment. Improving collision checking speed can have a dramatic impact on the feasibility of planning in real-time and the quality of the plans produced. The objective of this project is to prototype a collision checking library that can utilize the faster vector operations of a specialized compute like GPU.
