Numerical prediction tools for the analysis of an integrated mooring system with a floating structure will be further developed in the time domain and will be applied to the SeaWEED WEC and its mooring system. Investigations will be carried out for the survivability of the mooring system. The outcome of the project will enable GIE […]

Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited and Pratt & Whitney Canada have all initiated research projects on Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. Although applications are different, all companies are facing the same challenges, including the lack of a mature Canadian supply chain. The purpose of the current project is to bring together the whole value chain (Certification […]

Composite materials have been increasingly used in today’s aerospace products such as Bombardier CSeries and Boeing787 airplanes. A widely used composite manufacturing process is Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) utilizing robotics, precision control, and other high tech tools. Quality requirements for aerospace products are at very high level for product safety and performance. Statistical quality control […]

Increasing the productivity of agricultural fields is essential to secure our existing food supplies and provide for the growing world population. In this context, pesticides and fertilizers play an essential role in both increasing crop yields, as well as enhancing crop defenses against environmental stresses such as drought, pests, or diseases. However, the application of […]

Le Québec compte 18 mines produisant pour environ 1,8 milliard de dollars d’or annuellement, en plus de contribuer à la création de plus de 4 000 emplois directs. D’autre part, l’industrie minière québécoise est confrontée à des défis importants qui menacent sa compétitivité et son développement durable : baisse des teneurs des gisements exploités et […]

The idea of using light for transferring data has been developed rapidly since 1960s. Today, using light for short-distance communication, as an alternative for copper wires, is rapidly growing mostly because of its broadband communication characteristics. Optical communication systems consist of both electronic and photonic components. Designing such systems will benefit from an Integrated Development […]

The intern will undertake research and development activities related to a novel functional electrical stimulation (FES) device called the MyndMove stimulator. Activities are intended to improve the electrical output of the MyndMove to deliver controlled and painless electrical stimulation to patients for a variety of applications, such as mobility, pain management and treatment of pressure […]

Le projet de recherche proposé a pour but de maximiser le rendement des Salons de jeux du Québec par une refonte de ses aires de jeux. Ainsi, la […]

The objective is to develop a real-time fraud detection algorithm for a large E-commerce company based on construction of a robust reference model from normal multivariate data. To accomplish this, we propose to leverage machine learning techniques, such as reinforcement learning, in combination with stochastic modeling techniques such as Hidden Markov Models, to provide both […]

Les alternateurs jouent un rôle très important dans la stabilité et la performance des réseaux électriques. Lors de la mise en service d’un alternateur, plusieurs essais doivent être effectués afin de valider la fiabilité du produit. Le transporteur d’énergie requiert que les paramètres électriques de l’alternateur soient mesurés. La procédure actuelle d’identification de paramètre consistant […]

The overall objective of this project is to scale up and demonstrate the utility of novel bioaugmentation cultures for BTEX compounds, and associated diagnostic tools to properly deploy the technology. The intern will lead the project team to develop gene-based biomarker tools applicable to the bioaugmentation cultures and apply these tools to samples submitted from […]

Considering the unique properties of CO2 under supercritical condition, CO2 is proposed to be used in huff-and-puff treatments to enhance shale gas recovery from shale gas formations. This research project will look at the fundamental pore-scale mechanisms when CO2 huff-and-puff is used for enhancing methane recovery from shale formations. In order to obtain pore-scale mechanisms […]
