Achieving optimal diagnostic accuracy with quantitative electrophysiology

This project will perfect current quantitative electrophysiology technique (qEEGt) based on multivariate spectral analysis of magnetic-electrophysiology recordings to provide sensitive biomarkers for its use in the Precision Brain Health, including diagnostic, prediction, and intervention. We will take advantage of the Bayesian statistics to produce novel solutions and solve the main unresolved problems of quantitative electroencephalography […]

Design and manufacturing of a plastic anchor using a chemical product acting as a time-dependent expansion mechanism

The objective of this project is to investigate the feasibility of a novel anchor fixation device for which the anchoring mechanisms is prompted by the expansion and polymerization of a polymeric material. Accordingly, an innovative solution inspired from the self-healing polymer concept is proposed for sufficient expansion and fixation to wall panels for masonry and […]

Analyse et prévision des prix du bois d’œuvre

Les prix figurent parmi les décisions importantes à prendre par les responsables des ventes. En particulier pour les entreprises du bois d’œuvre, les responsables de ventes se fient aux estimations des prix, basées sur le jugement d’experts, fournies hebdomadairement par le Conseil de l’Industrie Forestière du Québec (CIFQ). La génération hebdomadaire de ces estimations de […]

Optical Flow Measurement Around a Rising Bubble

Bubbly flows are ubiquitous in many systems and also fascinating from a fundamental perspective. Injecting bubbles into a liquid is often used to enhance mixing which leads to improvement in heat and/or mass transfer characteristics of the flow. This finds many applications in chemical industry, energy sector, and even biomedical engineering. This internship provides an […]

Developing a Protocol for the Post-Assembly Functionalization of Chemically-Tailored Copolymer Membranes

Traditional chemical separations, such as water filtration for example, are often energy intensive and require large amounts heat to achieve success. In an age with a growing need for clean technology, there has been increased demand for membranes capable of achieving these separations, without the traditional downfalls. These so called super-membranes are capable of producing […]

Integrated investigation of energy transition pathways for the Arctic: Application of a pan-Canadian MESSAGE model for distributed off-grid communities

This work will address the gaps of previous studies undertaken for the Arctic by developing energy model framework that incorporates uncertainty in prices, technology performance and variations in renewable resources caused by climate change. Expected results of the research might be identifying cost-effective risk hedging strategies that account for multiple and overlapping uncertainties within the […]

Modeling and Control of Two Phase Cooling System

Therma management in electronic systems is a growing concern. Maintaining the battery temperature is one of the biggest challenges in electric vehicle development. The batteries in electric vehicle generate a lot of heat which, if not dissipated, may lead to an explosion. Not only electric vehicles, but with increase in processor speed and computing power […]

Examining surgeon’s eye-hand coordination during microsurgery

Are we using surgical simulation the right way? At present, the surgical curriculum uses simulation mainly to familiarize students with instruments and surgical techniques or as an objective assessment of skills performance. What if we could use surgical simulation to personalize the teaching of a surgeon in training (surgery resident)? This research will use eye-tracking […]

Investigation of Aerosol Cold Spray Technology for Ceramic Coatings Deposition

Aerosol deposition (AD) is a modification of low pressure cold spray technology which allows the deposit of ceramic based coatings. AD technology in a vacuum allows the formation of dense and well adhering ceramic films from sub-micro and nanoparticles directly at room temperature. The AD technology is still under development to cover more applications and […]
