The current project concerns the research and development of solutions intended for identifying and mitigating potentially mission-critical states of astronauts during long-term missions. Interns will research classification rules required for assessing such states based on sensors that could be deployed in a space environment. Part of the work will be to implement these rules into […]

La production mondiale annuelle de plastiques est estimée à plus de 335 millions de tonnes et risque de doubler d’ici 20 ans. De cette production, moins de 26 % est actuellement recyclé; plus de 74 % de ces plastiques sont donc redirigés à l’enfouissement ou relargués dans l’environnement. Il est clair que l’accumulation des plastiques […]

Eye tracking has been a staple of partially automated vehicles for the last several years and forms a standard part of a driver monitoring package: https://www.seeingmachines.com/industry-applications/automotive/ The next step is to understand if drivers are hovering over the steering wheel or pedals in preparation to take control. As part of the HumanDrive project: https://humandrive.co.uk/ we […]

Financial Markets represent complex systems where the dynamics between market participants drive the evolution of prevailing prices. For this reason, it is important for fund managers to understand how these market impacts shape liquidity, transaction costs and equilibrium returns. To cope with the vast uncertainties, the subject of stochastic control provides key insights and critical […]

Environ 7% des nouveau-nés sont atteints de syndromes de détresse respiratoire à la naissance et nécessitent des traitements exposés dans le programme de réanimation néonatale. Même en santé, les nourrissons ont besoin de traitements de qualité administrés par des soignants qualifiés. CAE Healthcare (Montréal, Canada) forme ce personnel en santé grâce à des simulateurs avancés […]

The proposed research consists of two tiers to understand the volume change behaviour of problematic geomaterials. Engineered structures have been distressed by expansive soils because of heaving and subsidence. Likewise, mine waste tailings from mineral beneficiation process must be contained in-pit storage facilities to minimize environmental impacts. This research is divided into investigation of volume […]

Les sources de production d’énergie font appel à des éléments d’électronique de puissance permettant une gestion de l’énergie électrique produite. Il peut s’agir par exemple de convertisseurs transformant une tension alternative en tension continue, ou inversement. Ils servent de plus à définir correctement les caractéristiques électriques (tension et courant) mises en oeuvre dans les réseaux […]

Exonetik designs, develops and manufactures magnetorheological (MR) actuator systems that enable novel functionalities to satisfy unmet customer needs. In collaboration with Exonetik engineers, interns will participate in the design, development and testing of customized magnetorheological actuators for robotics applications. The expected results of these subprojects will be prototypes that will be tested to demonstrate the […]

Data has become a central part of any organization’s day-to-day operation. Organizations are looking to turn this information into actionable insight. The Dialysis Measurement, Analysis and Reporting System (DMAR) is designed to track healthcare quality indicators where changing practice will have high impact. The DMAR system applies rigorous methods to measure key health care performance […]

The work to be conducted in this intemship consists of the transient numerical modeling of a combustion device using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. Validation of the various sub-models is required and once the final model is complete various design changes can be researched. The model will allow for variations in geometry, spray and […]

Driver error is a contributing cause of most motor vehicle collisions. Consequently, accident rates are much higher in scenarios where safe transit requires increased reliance on driver ability and decision-making. Intersections, for example, are potential conflict zones, because unexpected hazards are common. For accident reconstructionists, like those at Kodsi Engineering, understanding hazard response enables comparison […]

Large scale monitoring and control systems are being increasingly deployed around us, from intelligent transportation systems to smart grids. In exchange of the benefits supplied by these systems, participating agents are required to continuously share data with these complex systems. This data often consists of highly privacy-sensitive information, including but not limited to location, power […]
