Le projet de recherche proposé par la stagiaire vise à utiliser l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour améliorer l’apprentissage des sciences physiques au niveau secondaire. En intégrant des outils d’IA comme des simulateurs interactifs et des plateformes d’apprentissage adaptatif, le projet cherche à rendre l’enseignement des concepts scientifiques plus compréhensible et engageant. Les avantages escomptés incluent une […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Two-dimensional materials (2DMs), such as graphene, have revolutionized the field of nanotechnology due to their exceptional electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. However, the introduction of controlled defects into these materials offers an exciting avenue for tailoring their functionalities for next-generation technologies. This project focuses on studying the effects of defects, such as grain boundaries and […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to explore applications of frequency combs, for which laboratory applications have already been demonstrated, in an industrial setting. The research will be mainly focused on chemical sensing of stack emissions for monitoring purposes. As a secondary objective, the use of frequency combs in vibrometric measurements for structural […]

The oil sands industry in Alberta, Canada, generates large amounts of wastewater, known as oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), which contains high levels of toxic naphthenic acids (NAs). NAs, which can reach concentrations of up to 120 mg/L, are the main contributors to the water’s toxicity, posing significant risks to nearby ecosystems like the Athabasca […]

This project focuses on developing a natural ingredient from fruit waste to be used in an agricultural product called a biostimulant, which helps plants grow better. The intern(s) will first work on extracting this ingredient using a special process that ensures it has the right properties for the final product. Then, they will mix and […]

Rabbit Hill Snow Resort is starting its journey to understand and reduce its carbon footprint by joining Green Economy Canada’s Edmonton chapter and using their CarbonHound platform. The project will bring in a NorQuest College intern with expertise in environmental monitoring to help track emissions, set a baseline, and create a plan for ongoing sustainability […]

Global warming is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) trap heat, causing the planet’s temperatures to rise. Currently, the challenge is to achieve systems that solve problems such as environmental pollution through the design of green products and sustainable processes. […]

Le projet de recherche de Téo Clergereaux dans le groupe du Pr Luc Stafford au département de physique de l’université de Montréal vise à étudier le fonctionnement d’un plasma lors d’une injection pulsée de gaz. Cette étude reposera sur des mesures de spectroscopie d’émission optiques temporelles. Cette étude s’intègre dans un projet beaucoup plus large […]

This project aims to investigate market demand for an emerging type of quantum computing system in partnership with QV-Studio. The quantum computing system has to potential to accelerate the timeline for useful quantum computing in the domain of materials and chemistry simulation with applications in chemical process design, materials design, and pharmaceuticals. This opportunity is […]

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) recently introduced stringent regulations for the treatment of ballast water. Ultra-violet (UV) light is a useful technology in a ballast water treatment system (BWTS), for inactivating phytoplankton which could be invasive and harmful to humans and the environment. UV damages DNA and prevents replication, but the vital stain methods […]
