This internship project supports the development of a global training initiative led by the Climate Risk Institute (CRI) in partnership with the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), aimed at enhancing engineering and infrastructure climate resilience worldwide. Over a four-month period, the intern will contribute to the design and development of training materials across three […]

L’évaluation et la rééducation musculaire rencontrent actuellement des défis importants en termes de précision, de personnalisation et d’objectivité. Les méthodes d’évaluation traditionnelles reposent principalement sur des tests subjectifs de force statique réalisés par le physiothérapeute. Ces approches présentent plusieurs limitations : elles ne fournissent pas de données quantitatives précises et évaluent le travail musculaire uniquement […]

D’après de nombreuses études, le mode de pédalage excentrique (longueur du muscle augmente durant l’effort) semble être un mode de travail intéressant pour le bas du corps, l’objectif est donc d’éclaircir la voie pour ce qui est du haut du corps. L’analyse comparative des forces musculaires permettra d’avoir une idée plus précise des atouts de […]

This project will create a new framework that combines process simulations with environmental, economic, and social life cycle assessments to evaluate the sustainability of metal production and recycling processes. By extending current methods beyond environmental analysis to also include costs and social impacts, the project will provide a more complete understanding of how new metallurgical […]

Recherche expérimentale sur la durabilité des systèmes électromécaniques pour outils à impact répété : cas d’un arrache-bardeaux motorisé

Flax fibers and their composites are known for their mechanical properties comparable to many petroleumbased composites, such as high strength-to-weight ratios, while offering major sustainability advantages as bioderived and renewable materials. However, the natural fibers’ susceptibility to moisture uptake and degradation currently limits their use in many structural applications. Plastination presents a promising approach to […]

Corrosion—the gradual environmental degradation of metals and alloys—costs Canada billions of dollars annually and threatens infrastructure, transportation, and energy systems. Understanding how materials behave in corrosive environments is complex, depending on factors such as composition, surface structure, and environmental chemistry. Traditional experiments are slow, labor-intensive, and often difficult to reproduce between laboratories. This project aims […]

Plastic video laryngoscope blades are essential tools that doctors use to help patients breathe during surgery. Like many other medical devices, these blades are made from strong plastics but are meant to be used only once and then thrown away to prevent contamination and protect patient safety. This research project will investigate whether single-use plastic […]

The proposed project studies the vibration behaviour of innovative mass timber floor systems, focusing on cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors supported by CLT beams and timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors with notched connections. Using laboratory testing and numerical modelling, the research aims to enhance the understanding of how these floors respond to dynamic loads, including the effects […]

The FishNet Map project aims to create a practical, user-friendly mapping service that helps identify fishing hotspots in near real-time using satellite observations and environmental data. By integrating multi-source satellite observation with real-time weather and sea-state forecasts, the platform pinpoints optimal fishing zones, predicts hotspot shifts, and flags risks such as storms or restricted areas. […]

L’enjeu de cette recherche est double : approfondir la compréhension scientifique des mortiers intégrant des sables recyclés et adjuvants compensateurs de retrait et identifier les conditions (type et dosage d’adjuvants) permettant d’obtenir des performances comparables aux mortiers traditionnels. Le manque actuel de connaissances, combiné à la sévérité des normes en vigueur, freine encore la commercialisation […]

The Healthcare Kiosk Project aims to enhance access to timely medical care by deploying self-service, automated kiosks that enable patients to conduct virtual doctor consultations, perform basic blood tests, and collect blood samples for laboratory analysis—all without the need for an appointment. By placing these kiosks in accessible locations such as pharmacies, hospitals, and walk-in […]
