D’après de nombreuses études, le mode de pédalage excentrique (longueur du muscle augmente durant l’effort) semble être un mode de travail intéressant pour le bas du corps, l’objectif est donc d’éclaircir la voie pour ce qui est du haut du corps. L’analyse comparative des forces musculaires permettra d’avoir une idée plus précise des atouts de […]

This project aims to commercialize a computational biotechnology platform that simulates the structure and dynamics of cellular organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, at multiple scales. These systems play key roles in many cellular processes, and their malfunction is linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, and cancer. While experimental methods provide valuable insights, they […]

This research project aims to develop a next-generation hip protector insert for hip protector pants that is more hygienic, discreet, and wearable than current market options. Traditional foam-based insert/protectors are often bulky, uncomfortable, and visually unappealing; factors that reduce user compliance, especially among older cognitive adults. Our goal is to find a design for a […]

This project will create a new framework that combines process simulations with environmental, economic, and social life cycle assessments to evaluate the sustainability of metal production and recycling processes. By extending current methods beyond environmental analysis to also include costs and social impacts, the project will provide a more complete understanding of how new metallurgical […]

Venipuncture is a widely performed yet error-prone medical procedure, posing risks to both patients and healthcare workers due to reliance on visual inspection and palpation for vein access. High rates of needlestick injuries, repeated insertion attempts, and challenges with difficult patient populations highlight the need for safer, more reliable solutions, especially amid workforce shortages and […]

The FishNet Map project aims to create a practical, user-friendly mapping service that helps identify fishing hotspots in near real-time using satellite observations and environmental data. By integrating multi-source satellite observation with real-time weather and sea-state forecasts, the platform pinpoints optimal fishing zones, predicts hotspot shifts, and flags risks such as storms or restricted areas. […]

Le secteur agricole québécois désire mettre en place une filière énergétique à la biomasse agricole. Toutefois, la combustion de biomasses agricoles en remplacement des combustibles fossiles rencontre certains freins à son développement. Comme la biomasse contient des quantités appréciables d’azote, de soufre, de chlore, de potassium et de silicium, sa combustion émet plus de particules […]

This project aims to develop an innovative biosensor that can continuously and non-invasively monitor clot formation in whole blood or plasma in real time. By combining microwave-based sensing technology with artificial intelligence, the system provides accurate, real-time information on coagulation dynamics without the need for complex laboratory instruments. The technology will help healthcare and biomedical […]

The contamination of aquatic ecosystems by heavy metals and organic pollutants represents a global environmental challenge, threatening human health and ecological balance. Conventional treatment methods, such as chemical precipitation and membrane separation, are costly, ineficient at low concentrations, and generate secondary waste. Adsorption emerges as a promising alternative due to its simplicity and eficiency; however, […]

The overall project is dedicated to energy efficient ship design for Arctic operations. Therefore, the causes for ice loads need to be understood, and also the properties of the prevailing sea ice conditions need to be determined. This has been done with multiple voyages, and now the data needs to be analyzed and put into […]

L’enjeu de cette recherche est double : approfondir la compréhension scientifique des mortiers intégrant des sables recyclés et adjuvants compensateurs de retrait et identifier les conditions (type et dosage d’adjuvants) permettant d’obtenir des performances comparables aux mortiers traditionnels. Le manque actuel de connaissances, combiné à la sévérité des normes en vigueur, freine encore la commercialisation […]

Today we are failing to properly and completely treat organic wastewater which results in large amounts of sludge buildup and many untreated emerging contaminates that are shaping and changing our environment. If we ignore this problem: we will see an increased need for resources to development new and very expensive mechanical processes to manage sludge, […]
