Le diabète de type 1 (T1D) résulte de la destruction auto-immune des cellules bêta du pancréas, ce qui entraîne une élévation de la glycémie. La transplantation d’îlots de Langerhans, un traitement prometteur du DT1, est limité par le nombre d’îlots provenant de dons d’organes. La différenciation de cellules souches en cellules produisant de l’insuline pourrait […]

The escalating predicament of electronic waste (e-waste) is a pervasive global concern, with the world generating more than 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste, and less than 20% undergoing global recycling. E-waste comprises diverse metallic and non-metallic constituents that possess the potential for re-utilization or recycling, thereby mitigating environmental pollution. In this project, in collaboration […]

The goal of the project is to fabricate a novel magnesium-based alloy for orthopaedic purposes to function as a temporary fixation device (eg. Bone plates, screws or rods). Load-bearing bones (eg. Tibia, femur, humerus) require temporary support during fracture healing period to facilitate bone regeneration. Magnesium, due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability potentially eliminates the […]

Le cadastre est un registre public qui permet de représenter les propriétés foncières du Québec. Il joue un rôle important pour les propriétaires d’immeubles car en rendant les titres de propriété publics, il protège vos droits. Les normes actuelles de production et de diffusion des données cadastrales, régies par le gouvernement du Québec, sont strictes […]

Providing reliable and efficient services for electric vehicle (EV) users requires implementing cyber layers alongside the physical infrastructure within EV ecosystems. Nevertheless, the introduction of these cyber layers exposes these ecosystems to various cyber threats, including data manipulation, malware injection, and intrusions, strategically designed to disrupt power distribution networks. Building upon this, the proposal aims […]

The internships proposed here deal with the development of a physical prototype and efficient mathematical models of a modular multi-level converter (MMC). MMCs have attracted a great deal of attention as a promising technology for the new generation of high-voltage dc power transmission systems. Development of a physical laboratory prototype MMC is an essential step […]

High performing asphalt pavements are vital to the continual operation of North America’s transportation network. Asphalt, which is a mixture of asphalt cement, aggregates, and fillers, is paved at high temperatures and compacted to provide a smooth, waterproof, and safe wearing coarse for vehicles. Over the 15-to-20-year lifespan of the pavement, the asphalt surface can […]

This project proposes the development of a comprehensive Portable Charging System (PCS) for Electric Vehicles (EVs) integrating Level III DC fast charging and wireless charging technologies. The system aims to enhance EV charging convenience and flexibility by providing a compact and portable solution for on-the-go charging. The Level III DC fast charging capability ensures rapid […]

Point-of-Care DNA tests have grown in importance throughout recent years. Incorporation of devices in patient beside treatment requires fast turn-around times for results as well as economic feasibility. Spartan Bioscience, a local biotechnology company, has developed a technology that can detect abnormalities in a person’s DNA. In an effort to develop next generation technology, Spartan […]
