Dans le cadre du régime coopératif de l’Université de Sherbrooke, les étudiants au baccalauréat en génie biotechnologique doivent faire 5 stages. Celui-ci serait en fait le 4 ème du cursus de l’étudiante. Ce stage est offert au centre de recherche CSPBAT, qui est en partenariat avec l’Université de Paris 13 avec, comme superviseure de stage, […]

In this project I propose to develop a robust and efficient needle segmentation method, which will be used to localize and track the needle in three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) guided focal ablation therapy. 3DUS guided biopsy and minimally invasive therapy involves guiding a needle into the lesion for biopsy (removal of tissue for pathological examination), […]

The global goal of this project is to drastically reduce ABIPA’s tooling cost that can reach 5 million dollars a year. This reduction would rely on a performant tool condition evaluation technique (using fractal analysis) to be able to use tools in their optimal capability. This research proposal focuses on tool wear and tool life […]

L’industrie de la construction au Québec entreprend son virage numérique, et le Building Information Modeling en est l’élément principal. Afin de répondre aux besoins d’évaluation de la progression de l’industrie concernant l’implantation et l’utilisation du BIM, plusieurs outils sont actuellement développés. Cependant, ces modèles d’évaluation des compétences ou de la maturité BIM bénéficient rarement d’une […]

The proposed project deals with a novel idea of combining lightweight design and synthesis of metallic nanostructured materials and their use as feedstcok in the development of high-strength thin layered coatings. The engineered design of particles holds the key to accommodate both strength and toughness in the derived coatings due to the very nature of […]

Description: During drying most real materials shrink depending on moisture content, physical structure and sometimes the rate of drying. Moisture and temperature dependent transport properties (such as moisture diffusivity, thermal conductivity etc.) that control the drying rate change significantly with the shrinkage of the product. A two-dimensional liquid diffusion model will be developed in MATLAB […]

Nowadays, buildings consume about 40% of the global energy, what corresponds to one-third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To deal with this issue, the concept of Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) was conceived. These buildings produce, by means of renewable energy sources (RESs), the total energy they consume on an annual basis. Since RESs, such as […]

The solar energy market has recently experienced an exponential growth due to the increase in the energy demand and environmental issues. In this research program, a DC-Optimizer system will be designed and developed to harvest the maximum power from solar tiles installed on the rooftops of residential buildings in an efficient and cost-effective way. This […]

This project aims to exploit an analysis of cellular and molecular dynamics which focuses on understanding protein-protein interactions in living cells. It will focus on the development and application of a suite of novel single molecule super-resolution imaging strategies that will address fundamental questions surrounding how the association of specific membrane proteins drives localization and […]

Water in the United States is a valuable resource. It is used from everything from drinking water to tourism. However, by the 1970s, many rivers and coastal areas were severely degraded from decades of using water to assimilate pollution. After billions of dollars spent and decades of effort on all levels of government, the increasing […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) offers designers more Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) in design with fewer limitations and they can focus more on the intended functionality of a product. For example, functionality can be referred to assigned mechanical deformation by printing rigid and elastomeric materials. Soft robot, artificial heart, and customized shoe mid-sole are some functional products. One important […]
