This four-month project will support the early development of a home-use wearable approach for hallux valgus by reducing key market and validation uncertainties. The work will focus on structured discovery with clinicians to understand real-world needs, current practice patterns, safety expectations, and usability requirements for potential home use. In parallel, the project will review existing […]

La valorisation des déchets alimentaires constitue un enjeu majeur pour le développement de procédés circulaires et durables. Parmi les voies prometteuses, la récupération du calcium et du phosphore issus de résidus tels que les coquilles d’œufs, les arêtes ou les os de poisson permet la synthèse d’hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), un matériau reconnu pour ses propriétés structurales […]

En impression 3D, une pièce peut contenir des défauts internes (par exemple de petites zones de porosité) qui sont difficiles à voir pendant la fabrication, mais qui peuvent réduire la qualité et la fiabilité. Ce projet vise à estimer plus tôt ces défauts internes en utilisant un capteur rapide déjà disponible : un scanner laser […]

This project aims to make future internet-connected devices secure against quantum computer attacks by developing faster and safer cryptographic software for small embedded systems. We will optimize a newly standardized post-quantum algorithm so that it runs efficiently on widely used ARM Cortex-M7 processors without sacrificing security. The results will help protect critical infrastructure, healthcare systems, […]

The success of the COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated how powerful new technologies based on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) can be for protecting public health. As more RNA-based medicines are being developed, it is increasingly important that these LNPs are stable and easy to distribute, especially to support global accessibility and improve preparedness […]

This project explores a new approach to indoor localization using retroreflective Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). Unlike conventional RIS that actively steer signals, retroreflective RIS naturally send radio waves back toward their source while still allowing programmable control. This creates stable and energy-efficient signal paths that can significantly improve positioning accuracy in cluttered or dynamic environments. […]

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à participer à la validation clinique de MusiGAIT, un système de biofeedback musical et visuel conçu pour aider des enfants vivant avec une paralysie cérébrale à améliorer leur marche. Ce système transforme certains mouvements, notamment la flexion excessive du genou lors de la phase d’appui, en signaux sonores et […]

This project studies how live streaming commerce, a fast-growing way of selling products through real-time online video is changing supply chain management. Unlike traditional e-commerce, live streaming creates sudden spikes in customer demand that existing supply chains often struggle to handle efficiently. The research aims to understand how these new sales models affect inventory management, […]

The proposed project would like to investigate Commotio cordis, which is a rare event that can cause cardiac arrest due to sudden impacts to the chest. Specifically, this project aims to research strain patterns on patient specific finite element models. The expected benefit to the participating institutions will be developing of a new approach to […]

Des microcommutateurs MEMS RF ont été fabriqués sur une ligne de prototypage industrielle de 200 mm. Compacts et à très faible consommation énergétique, ils sont particulièrement adaptés aux environnements cryogéniques où la dissipation thermique doit rester minimale. Le projet vise à qualifier ces dispositifs et des matrices de commutation à très basses températures dans un […]

This project explores how a mobile field robot integrates semantic perception, task reasoning, and task-aware planning to operate autonomously in unstructured, real-world environments. The work focuses on implementing and evaluating existing perception and task-reasoning components that enable the robot to interpret visual and spatial information, infer task intent, and select feasible actions under uncertainty. Experiments […]

Dentures are oral appliances or prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and restore oral function, speech, and aesthetics. The denture market is driven mainly by the older adult population, which is expected to grow by 68% in the next 20 years according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. These individuals often suffer from sleep-related […]
