Optimisation des contacts ohmiques et fabrication de lasers

Ce stage s’inscrit dans un projet qui a pour objectif d’optimiser les contraintes mécaniques dans les lasers. Afin d’optimiser les résistances dans les lasers, l’optimisation des contacts ohmiques est primordiale. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce stage est d’optimiser les contacts ohmiques pour la fabrication de lasers, visant une faible résistivité. Différents empilements métalliques et d’autres moyens de diminution de résistances séries seront évalués, notamment un aspect novateur et prometteur qui a déjà montré son efficacité sur des cellules solaires III-V : l’utilisation d’une couche de graphène pour diminuer les résistances séries des contacts.
Ce stage permettra de poser les premières briques d’optimisation de lasers, dans le but d’ouvrir une collaboration avec l’entreprise canadienne Laser Component Canada (fabricants de laser), l’Université de Sherbrooke, et l’Université de Rennes.

Sustainability benefits of expanded gamut printing

Expanded gamut printing is a relatively new technology that allows print companies to move away from spot colours and needing an inventory of these colours on hand or ordering them from their ink supplier every time a print job requires a spot colour. With expanded gamut printing the same seven colours remain in the printing units and only the printing plates and the substrate get changed. This leads to less frequent print unit wash-ups and allows the so-called ganging of jobs resulting in less use of organic solvents and a lower consumption of paper. These savings make the operation of a print company more sustainable. The main goal of this project is to quantify these savings.

Étude moléculaire de l’interaction entre les bactériophages de Clostridioides difficile et leur récepteur cellulaire, la protéine de surface SlpA

La bactérie Clostridioides difficile (Cd) est la cause principale de diarrhée infectieuse post-antibiotique dans les pays industrialisés (ICD). Bien que l’antibiothérapie soit le traitement standard contre les ICD, elle s’avère souvent inefficace pour empêcher la récurrence de l’infection. La phagothérapie est une alternative thérapeutique prometteuse, qui consiste à utiliser des bactériophages (phages), i.e. des virus infectants et tuant spécifiquement les bactéries. Cd possède à sa surface une enveloppe protéique majoritairement composée de la protéine SlpA. Dans un article que j’ai récemment publié (Royer et al, Microbiol Spectr 2023), j’ai démontré que les phages de Cd reconnaissent une ou plusieurs isoformes différentes de la protéine SlpA. De plus, j’ai démontré qu’une partie du domaine variable de SlpA est déterminante pour la reconnaissance et l’infection par certains phages. L’objectif de mon projet de doctorat est de caractériser en détail la spécificité d’interaction entre les phages et la protéine SlpA de Cd. Mes travaux permettront l’élaboration de cocktails de phages thérapeutiques ciblant différentes isoformes de SlpA et permettant de couvrir l’ensemble des souches de Cd responsables d’infections. Cette approche pourrait réduire les récidives et ainsi permettre un traitement efficace et durable des ICD.

Establishing the reliability of DTI and resting-state fMRI as markers of traumatic brain injury Year Two

The proposed research will investigate two brain imaging measures that hold potential as tools for the diagnosis and assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI (mTBI)/concussion. One type of image provides information about structural damage to the brain’s anatomical connections, and the other about the functional connectivity of networks of brain regions that underlie many mental abilities. The proposed research will investigate the relationship between these measures, their reliability an individual over time, and also the comparability of each measure between different scanners and software applications. The project will provide fundamental knowledge essential to the future development of accurate, objective, and individualized tools to diagnose and characterize mTBI, to track its progression over time, and to guide treatment and return-to-work/play decisions

Multiobjective and distributed optimization algorithm for the economic dispatch problem

Currently, the growing demand for electrical energy is driving the integration of renewable energy sources into modern power systems. However, integrating renewable systems has increased uncertainty in the operating conditions of the electric system. To address these challenges, the development of algorithms to optimize energy management in power systems, satisfying electricity demand while respecting physical and operational requirements, has become necessary. This includes reducing pollutant emissions, resulting in what is known as the combined economic and environmental dispatch problem (CEEDP). Therefore, this project focuses on developing comprehensive global multi-objective optimization algorithms to holistically address economic and environmental dispatch in electrical networks. The approach aims to minimize costs and emissions by considering the integration of renewable energy sources. The project will contribute to improving the operation and planning of power distribution systems, facilitating the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future, and reducing the environmental impact of the energy sector in the context of climate change.

Comparing the risk of adverse events across different classes of biologics and comparable safety and efficacy of biosimilars versus originator biologics in inflammatory arthritis

Our proposed research project aims to answer the overall question: what is the actual risk of infections or cardiovascular events for patients with inflammatory arthritis that take novel arthritis medication (biologics) and how does it compare between different classes of these drugs, in real-world settings? As well as asking if the safety and effectiveness of their new unpatented counterparts (i.e., biosimilars) are comparable to the original biologics? Most of what we know is on earlier or a handful of specific newer drugs or they have only been studied in controlled environments as of now. To solve this problem, we will use “healthcare data” in British Columbia (BC) which contains key anonymized information on prescription drugs and other related information. We will apply state-of-the art statistical methods to these data to study and compare the adverse effects, safety and effectiveness of these medications.
