This project will contribute to developing design guidelines for steel-reinforced 3D printed concrete structural members. 3D printing is a novel construction method that is being developed around the world. It has the potential to revolutionize construction practices, because it is an automated process that requires less heavy labor compared to regular construction practices. The material […]

This project seeks to evaluate the benefits of deploying active road signs on road safety and driving behavior. Different types of iluminated and traffic responsive traffic signs will be considered, under urban and rural setting. Two case studies will be analyzed for this purpose. The company expects to identify demonstrate that their products are beneficial […]

In recent years, machining with robots has become a trend in the manufacturing industry. The concept offers an economical solution for medium to low accuracy machining applications. However, due to the complexity of the robot kinematics, planning for these paths is challenging. Jabez Technologies has developed a semi-graphical approach that can program large robot-paths. This […]

This project focuses on improving transformer-based models for quantitative finance (QFin) by addressing key limitations such as inadequate long-term memory, lack of sentiment analysis, and difficulties in handling multimodal data. While transformers have achieved breakthroughs in fields like protein folding and natural language processing, their application in finance still faces challenges. Existing financial transformers struggle […]

A common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease is freezing of gait (FoG), which entails that patients freeze while walking and cannot continue to walk. A way to stop the FoG is to prove some sort of external stimulus (cueing). This project entails the creation of a device to detect FoG (based on previous devices) and provide […]

This project focuses on developing advanced catalysts for green hydrogen production by using MXene, a highly conductive nanomaterial, as a support for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. Efficient and durable OER catalysts are essential for water electrolysis, a key technology for producing hydrogen as a clean energy source. By combining expertise from the University of […]

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are made of software components interacting with their physical environment. They are used in many domains: Automotive, energy, healthcare, and many others. Within the automotive domain, the need for software is expanding. Software is transitioning from supporting infotainment systems to driving functionalities (e.g., cruise controller, automated pilots). As the need for software […]

The Harvest Platform is a fuel-less, carbon-free water heating solution designed to replace traditional gas-based heating systems in restaurant and hotel environments. The technology harvests and recycles waste heat from commercial cooking appliances, such as ovens and fryers, to reduce operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and scalable way. Based on a […]

Bearings play a critical role as fundamental mechanical components in rotating systems. Any imperfections, such as inadequate lubrication, can gradually result in failure. Industry reports indicate that 40-70% of failures in rotary systems are attributed to bearing failure. The sudden occurrence of such failures poses significant challenges for industries, resulting in decreased profitability, and various […]

This project supports the commercialization of INSITE (In Situ Tissue Engineering Bioprinting System), a handheld bioprinting platform developed in the Guenther Lab at the University of Toronto. INSITE enables point-of-care delivery of personalized bioinks directly into skin wounds, offering a novel, autograft-free alternative for treating full-thickness burns and chronic wounds. Current gold-standard treatments rely on […]

Les travaux du stage seront effectués à l’Institut interdisciplinaire d’innovation technologique de l’Université de Sherbrooke au sein du groupe de recherche de la professeure Gwenaëlle Hamon qui se spécialise sur les procédés de micro-fabrication et caractérisation des dispositifs optoélectroniques tels que les panneaux solaires, phototransducteurs, lasers, etc. Le stage proposé vise la mise au point […]

Le projet consiste à développer une méthodologie novatrice, de type heuristique, de construction d’horaires annuels des pilotes de la Corporation des Pilotes du St-Laurent central. L’algorithme de construction d’horaires doit tenir compte de plusieurs contraintes tant au sein de la Corporation des Pilotes du Saint-Laurent central que celles imposées par l’Administration de Pilotage des Laurentides […]
