Développement et validation des semelles en lattices imprimées en 3D pour décharger et traiter les ulcères du pied chez des patients diabétiques

Chez les personnes diabétiques, la marche régulière permettrait de réduire la mortalité, aide à contrôler la glycémie et diminue l’insulinorésistance. Cependant, elles risquent davantage de développer des ulcères aux pieds, pouvant conduire à l’amputation. La prévention et le traitement précoce de ces problèmes incluent des chaussures ou semelles optimisant la répartition de la pression plantaire. […]

Model Development to Correlate Pulp Properties with Chip Quality and Online Sensor Data

The proposed research project will investigate how specific pulp fibre properties, such as length, impact the mechanical and optical qualities of paper. Using data from Quesnel River Pulp’s operations, the student will create a detailed profile linking these fibre characteristics to paper strength, surface texture, and brightness, providing insight into how various wood chip blends […]

Comprehensive analysis of the production of green hydrogen from selected biomass (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) resources for assessment of the economic viability of the process.

This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis to investigate the optimum process parameters for generating green hydrogen from waste materials (cocoa pod husk, rice husk, coconut husk, sawdust, etc.) and to assess the economic viability of the process. The use of the selected biomass as feedstock would provide a clearer scientific understanding of green […]

Evaluation of the Corrosion Tendency of a Novel of 2-amino 2-methyl propanol (AMP) and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrolidine (1-(2-HE) PRLD) Blend used for CO2 Capture from Industrial Exhaust Gases in a Commercial CO2 Capture Plant

This projects aims to evaluate the corrosion rate of carbon steel in a 2:2 molar ratio (4M total molar concentration) of AMP: 1-(2-HE) PRLD environment as a function of absorber/desorber temperature, O2 concentration in the flue gas, and CO2 loading. This evaluation is to ensure that this novel amine blend can be used reliably with […]

Development of a modular aircraft propulsion simulation model

In this project a modular propulsion simulation tool will be developed, which is able to be integrated in an already existing framework for preliminary aircraft design. The developed tool shall then be used for analyzing different propulsion system configurations of conceptual aircraft, to compare these against each other regarding different metrics, such as efficiency and […]

Application of Machine Learning to optimize concrete properties, minimizing variability in concrete production

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is engineered to facilitate casting and accelerate the construction process while enhancing structural performance and durability. Its high deformability allows SCC to spread and fill formwork under its own weight, eliminating the need for external vibration. The mix design of SCC is critical for achieving an optimal balance between fluidity and stability, […]

Biochar: une solution durable pour la gestion de déchets au Nord-du-Québec

Ce projet se concentre sur la production et la caractérisation du biochar, un matériau carboné aux multiples applications prometteuses, obtenu par pyrolyse de la biomasse dans un environnement pauvre en oxygène. L’objectif principal est de soutenir le développement et l’installation de deux modèles de pyrolyseurs à petite échelle dans des communautés cries, contribuant ainsi à […]

Artificial Intelligence for Improved Dosimetric Calculation in Radiotherapy

Cancer treatment by radiotherapy (RT) is essential yet complex, requiring precise radiation doses to effectively target tumors while sparing healthy tissues. This project addresses the frequent challenge of dose discrepancies-differences between the planned and delivered doses-due to factors such as patient anatomy, organ movement, and equipment variability. These inconsistencies can lead to increased toxicity or […]
