The project consists of developing new methodologies to augment the investment management process through AI & ML. To this purpose, the project will be divided in two subprojects :1) Optimization of error detection and error correction in the data cleansing process.In every data science project, data scientists and analysts spend a considerable amount of their time cleaning the data they have. The objective is to automate the error detection and error correction processes, with the goal of integrating the models in a user-friendly platform.

Les services infonuagiques sont de plus en plus utilisés pour stocker des bases de données sensibles de plus en
plus massives. La protection de la confidentialité de ces données est souvent primordiale. De ce fait, les
propriétaires de ces données préfèrent généralement les chiffrer avant de les stocker sur les services
infonuagiques.

Our integrated modelling system for the North Atlantic Right Whale (NARW) will help predict the presence of this critically endangered species in the Northwest Atlantic shelf, including the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Gulf of Maine. Our international consortium composed of partners from Canada, the United States and France will develop models based on high-resolution operational circulation models and satellite-derived bio-optical variables using NARW’s preferred prey (the Calanus sp. zooplankton species) as a sentinel species.

À l’échelle mondiale, la génération de plus en plus importante des matières résiduelles organiques, d’origine aussi bien industrielle que domestique, accentue le problème d’élimination. Dans ce contexte, un grand intérêt est dédié à la création des pistes de valorisation pour ces résidus. Dans le but de réduire la quantité de déchets récupérés, l’économie circulaire constitue une bonne alternative au concept conventionnel de traitement des matières basé sur prendre, fabriquer, utiliser et puis éliminer.

Thermal stress analysis of the buried pipeline is an integral part of pipeline design and integrity analysis. Pipeline design code (e.g. CSA Z662) provides guidance on the thermal stress analysis of restrained and unrestrained pipe sections. However, a buried pipeline bend is more likely to be partially restrained, as the pipe is free to expand longitudinally, but the expansion is restrained by the pipe-soil interaction. No clear guidance is provided in the design code for a partially restrained condition.

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est de développer une approche permettant de cibler les principaux secteurs
responsables des émissions de GES de la région de la Gaspésie, et d’identifier des pistes de solution à intégrer
dans un plan d’action régional contre les changements climatiques. L’approche développée pourra être appliquée
à d’autres régions dans le futur.

Pharma in silica is a preclinical stage company developing silica-based nanoparticles to formulate more efficient and better tolerated chemotherapy modalities. In this collaboration, they will benefit from the expertise of the laboratories of Prof N. Bertrand and S. Fortin to obtain useful chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC) information and advance their nanoparticles toward regulatory approval.

Les discussions sur les questions identitaires et de justice sociale (Réconciliation avec les Premières Nations, des mouvements comme Black Lives Matter, etc.) sont omniprésentes dans le contexte québécois actuel.

There are limited options for patients with metastatic disease and immunotherapies have failed to work. The Alpha DaRT seeds offer the first opportunity for a radiation-based therapy device that has the potential to awaken the body’s immune response. We aim to provide evidence that this treatment option may:
1. elicit an immunological response, thus through treatment of a single liver metastasis, there will be reduction in metastases throughout the remaining liver. This may reduce the risk of future metastases from arising.
2.

Advances in semiconductor technology allow the increase of the efficiency and the power density of power
converters using high switching frequency converters (HSFC). The integration of such energy conversion systems
is continuously growing and in high demand for applications such as electric vehicle battery chargers, more electric
aircrafts, and distributed energy resources. However, the real-time simulation (RTS) of HSFC is challenging, since
very small time-steps — in the order of tens nanoseconds —are mandatory to achieve high fidelity.
