Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes which is the most common cause of vision loss among people with diabetes. DR damages and alters the structure of the capillary network (microvasculature) in the retina, a light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye and is responsible for vision. Clinicians can analyze the microvasculature […]

Definition et positionnement de modeles generiques de structures renales dans une volume d’images CT a I’aide du plus petit nombre possible de poignees predefinies sur Ie modele surfacique et auto amelioration des modeles generiques par deformations hierarchiques successives de fa

The project will adapt Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) to a cased well. CAES is a mature and proven energy storage technology, however it traditionally uses large salt caverns. By understanding the deformation of a wellbore due to pressure and hot air injection, one may be able to determine the operating range of the system. […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a key player in the growing need for electric vehicles (EVs). State-of-the-art LIBs, using liquid electrolytes, still have significant challenges in their safety, lifespan, and energy density. Accordingly, solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLBs) have recently been attracting increasing research and industrial attention due to their ability to overcome intrinsic disadvantages […]

The forest industry is going through a transformation worldwide. Competitive limitations faced by companies starting with the newsprint demand decline have required process modernization and portfolio diversification. As a result, the forest biorefinery emerged – facilities for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. The forest sector has adopted the biorefinery concept globally because it […]

The project intends to adopt a graphical technique called Carbon Emissions Pinch Analysis (CEPA) to develop an energy planning model for Canada in renewable energy utilization. This project is driven by the commitment made by Canada in Copenhagen 2015, which is carbon reduction targets of 17%, 30% and 80% for the years of 2020, 2030 […]

On the one hand, new generation of civil transport aircraft can present aeroelastic coupling between flight mechanics and structural dynamics. The lower-frequency flexible dynamics can be perceptible by a fly-by-wire (FBW) controller. This requires control law design that takes into account the flexible dynamics. On the other hand, recent developments on feedback linearization by means […]

Due to the rapid growth of consumer grade devices and corresponding application market, the incorporation of vision capabilities into embedded systems has gained significant attention from researchers lately. Similarly to the human visual system, embedded computer vision systems analyze and extract information from visual content in a wide variety of products. Face recognition has been […]

Advances in Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) and Machine Learning (ML) open new opportunities to create innovative solutions in healthcare and in particular digital pathology to increase efficiencies, reduce cost and most importantly improve patient care. This project envisions the creation of new automated ML tools including the design of a custom Convolution Neural Network (CNN) […]
