Development of electrochemical multiplexed lateral flow rapid testing platforms for the detection and quantification of testosterone and progesterone in blood samples

This research aims at developing a rapid testosterone test kit using lateral flow assay technology, a technology used for example in routine pregnancy tests, but in a quantitative manner that can inform the user of the exact concentration of analyte in the blood sample. The quantification of the assay will be performed by integrating the […]

Etude de structures plasmoniques en réseau et optimisation du dépôt de point quantique

L’amélioration de dispositifs miniatures à base de source d’émetteurs de lumière repose principalement sur un contrôle du positionnement de ces émetteurs dans des endroits clefs du dispositifs. Nous avons récemment développé une méthode qui devrait permettre à termes de positionner avec une précision très fine (nanomètre), des émetteurs et nous souhaitons montrer son contrôle et […]

Modeling Electrical Conductivity in Carbon-Filled Polymer Composites – Collaboration Western/KIT

The main objective of the proposed research is to characterize and develop simulation models for carbon-filled polymer nanocomposites, using key morphological properties such as filler orientation and spatial dispersion obtained from molding simulation tools to predict the electrical conductivity of the resulting composite. This type of integrated modeling, where processing simulations inform conductivity predictions, is […]

Transformer une problématique écologique en ressource énergétique : la biométhanisation de plantes envahissantes, une approche durable pour le lac Osisko

La réhabilitation des systèmes lacustres urbains contaminés en climat froid se heurte à différentes contraintes, tant urbaines que climatiques. Le Lac Osisko est l’un d’eux : soumis à diverses pressions anthropiques, il présente des problèmes importants tels que l’eutrophisation, la contamination des eaux et des sédiments, ainsi que la prolifération d’espèces végétales envahissantes. Les stratégies […]

Development of a Store-and-Forward Navigation System with Semantic Void Detection for Autonomous Construction Monitoring

Current methods for tracking construction progress rely on manual inspections, which are slow, inconsistent, and often dangerous. This research project aims to automate this process using an agile quadruped robot (a “robot dog”) developed by Noûs Technologies. The interns will create a smart navigation system that uses the building’s digital blueprints to guide the robot, […]
