Ever-increasing complexity of high morbidity rate diseases including infections, cancer, atherosclerosis, has posed significant challenges in delivering active pharmaceutical agents at their intended targets. Polymeric soft nanoparticles based therapeutics have provided an advantageous platform, and have provoked the design of tailor-made nanoarchitectures that can load, target and deliver with high efficiency. Using synthetically articulated stimuli […]

Theoretically sound and industry-robust software measures are necessary in industry and research. Functional sizing measures of software, such as COSMIC Function Points – ISO 19761 – are useful for the quantitative planning, monitoring, control, and objective assessment of software projects and organizations. Through this project, the COSMIC Group will adapt this international measurement method to […]

It has been estimated that 300 million people worldwide have osteoarthritis (OA) and this has increased by 97% over the past 25 years. The pain and loss of mobility experienced by people with knee OA can seriously reduce quality of life, while pain management causes significant healthcare spending. Unfortunately, the pain associated with OA is […]

La ressource en eau souterraine est la source d’alimentation en eau potable de la Municipalité de Saint-Hippolyte (QC). Le développement du territoire ajoute une pression additionnelle à la ressource en eau souterraine et Saint-Hyppolite vise une gestion durable de cette ressource. Le projet vise à créer un observatoire de la ressource en eau souterraine dans […]

The research project aims to evaluate the potential of using abrasive waterjet machining and additive manufacturing in composite repair as a sustainable, circular economic strategy. The study will investigate the effectiveness of abrasive waterjet machining on additively manufactured composite specimens, assess the quality of machined surfaces, and simulate composite repair scenarios in a laboratory setting. […]

In rock engineering practice there is often insufficient time, schedule, and computational/expert resources to investigate complex rock mass phenomena in detail. The large amount of multivariate data that characterizes complex rock mass behaviour creates the ideal conditions to use machine learning. Machine learning allows for the use of all relevant data and can inform the […]

Les composites et le titane sont de plus en plus utilisés en aéronautique, mais sont difficiles à percer. Le perçage des deux matériaux dans une seule opération représente un défi supplémentaire puisque la méthode et les paramètres idéaux diffèrent. L’identification et la quantification d’un critère d’endommagement avant des essais en tension percée et en tension […]

Theoretically sound and industry-robust software measures are necessary to identify and select the most productive software development organizations (internal and external) and avoid significant overspending on software investments. Functional sizing measures, such as COSMIC Function Points – ISO 19761 – are necessary for the quantitative planning, monitoring, control, and objective assessment of software projects. Huge […]

There is a growing demand for accessible, affordable and high-quality houses in northern communities of Canada. The intern will study the foundation solutions used to support residential houses and commercial buildings in northern Canada. The intern will conduct interviews with many stakeholders on the foundation and house development and then develop a guide to the […]

The increased energy prices and effects of climate change are severely impacting the day-to-day lives of Canadians. Moreover, essential sectors such as agriculture release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases, adding to climate change challenges. Hence, investing in local and sustainable energy sources is more critical now than ever to reduce these burdens. Therefore, biogas generation […]

Investiguer l’utilisation d’une méthode SPH pour la prédiction des crues à grande échelle à partir des données LiDAR. Les données LiDAR sont rendues disponible par le ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec. Plus spécifiquement : 1) générer des domaines de calcul compatible avec la méthode de calcul SPH Open Source […]

Augmented reality (AR) is poised to transform human interactions. This project aims to explore the use of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for the development of compact and high-performance image projectors, also called “light engines”, for AR glasses. PICs are a type of integrated circuit that uses light instead of electricity to perform various functions, such […]
