The Artificial Intelligence Integrated Medical Media Suite (AIIMMS) is a smart, AI-powered crash cart designed to support emergency response teams during coding events. By integrating live video, audio, patient biometrics, and patient electronic health record data into a centralized interface, AIIMMS can help reduce the cognitive load and enhance clinical decision-making in real time. The […]

Quantum technologies are today at the forefront of scientific research, as they are expected to have a very strong impact in numerous fields. The primary objective in both research groups, the QPSA lab and the NPQO lab is to develop the physical building blocks necessary for quantum communication. Many different quantum systems are currently being […]

Access to clean water is a critical global challenge, with billions facing water scarcity or contamination. This project aims to develop a sustainable water purification system that uses solar energy to convert contaminated or salty water into clean water, offering a low-cost, off-grid solution for rural and resource-limited communities. The system will use solar-driven interfacial […]

Typiquement, les matériaux utilisés dans les composites ne sont pas recyclables. Lorsqu’une pièce est brisée ou qu’elle atteint sa fin de vie, elle peut être brulée afin de récupérer les fibres de renforts, mais plus souvent les pièces se dirigent directement vers un site d’enfouissement. Nous travaillons depuis environ 10 ans sur une méthode de […]

This project will support the commercialization of a new medical training tool designed to help doctors learn how to perform technically complex procedures for cancer staging and diagnosis. The partner organization, University Health Network, has developed a realistic 3D-printed simulation model that enables trainees to safely practice this procedure outside the operating room. Unlike current […]

This project focuses on validating the real-world use and integration of an advanced, AI-enabled platform designed to improve prenatal care through early detection of conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Rather than simply testing technical performance, the project places strong emphasis on human factors engineering and understanding how healthcare professionals interact with new technology […]

Ce projet a pour but de comparer les impacts environnementaux d’une production culturelle au Québec réalisée de façon traditionnelle avec ceux d’une production conçue selon des principes d’écoconception. Au-delà des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, l’étude prendra en compte d’autres effets sur l’environnement, comme la gestion des déchets ou l’utilisation des matériaux. Le […]

This project explores how sustainable concrete alternatives can be adapted for 3D printing in construction. Traditional cement-based concrete is a major source of global carbon emissions. Geopolymer concrete—made from industrial by-products like fly ash—offers a greener alternative, but challenges remain in making it printable at scale. This project will develop and validate a new testing […]

Over the four-month Lab2Market internship, discussions with plant operators, maintenance teams, and technology vendors will determine how the existing AI alarm-diagnosis system should be fine-tuned for real-world deployment. Targeted interviews, and rapid feedback loops will uncover the highest-value use cases, reveal functionality gaps, and establish clear upgrade priorities. These market-discovery insights will provide us with […]

This project aims to develop and validate a low-cost, energy-efficient film made from common or recycled plastics that can passively manage heat without using electricity or fuel. By microstructuring the surface of materials like polyethylene and polymethylpentene (TPX), we create thin, flexible films that can either retain or release heat depending on their arrangement. When […]

Face à la pollution causée par les plastiques, les bioplastiques apparaissent comme une alternative écologique viable. Toutefois, les limitations existantes de leurs propriétés cherchent à être surmontées grâce au renforcement par des fibres naturelles. Le biopolymère le plus utilisé sur le marché, en particulier dans l’impression 3D, est le PLA grâce à son prix compétitif, […]

Fires on construction sites can cause serious injuries, deaths, and property loss. One of the best ways to prevent fires is by helping workers recognize fire hazards early, but current safety training is often limited and not very effective. We are developing a virtual reality (VR) training tool that can help construction workers and young […]
