L’électronique imprimée permet la fabrication de dispositifs flexibles et peu coûteux, mais elle repose actuellement sur des métaux non renouvelables (argent, cuivre, aluminium) imprimés sur des plastiques, générant des déchets électroniques difficilement recyclables. Dans un contexte de transition écologique, ce modèle soulève des préoccupations environnementales croissantes. Le projet présenté vise à remplacer ces métaux par […]

For more than 20 years, quantum dots have provided profound insights into the quantum mechanical principles governing light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. In the field of solar fuels production, quantum dots have become an essential platform for studying quantum-controlled photocatalysis owing to their tunable electronic structures enable precise control of charge separation and redox properties. […]

This project focuses on developing advanced bone graft materials made from calcium silicates, enhanced with magnesium or zinc ions. These materials are designed to help bones heal faster and reduce the risk of infections associated with implants. During the project, I will work closely with Dr. Barrelet’s team at McGill University to test the biological […]

The GigaBIT experiment is a telescope with the resolution of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, but with a much larger field of view. When GigaBIT is flown on a several month long mission on a stratospheric balloon, GigaBIT will be the most capable telescope in the world for multi-color visible light observations. The Interns will work […]

This project focuses on validating WithinStride™, a smart insole for gait rehabilitation, through piloting, feasibility, and clinical outreach. By refining usability and fostering clinician adoption, it bridges research and market integration, ensuring scalable, effective home-based rehabilitation.

The ability to isolate, control, and characterize individual spin states of qubits/quantum dots is crucial for quantum sensing and quantum computing. Achieving control over such quantum systems requires a fundamental understanding of materials at the atomic level. The best tool to access this information is scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which enables atomic-scale fabrication, and characterization […]

Battery technology plays a central role in driving significant advancements across various industries, ranging from electric vehicles to the Internet of Things. Among the various types of batteries, Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) exhibit potential advantages and are on the verge of commercialization due to their lower cost, enhanced safety, and greater availability compared to Li-ion batteries. […]

Les intempéries hivernales sont souvent associées à un mélange de types de précipitations tels que de la pluie verglaçante, du grésil et de la neige mouillée. Leur prévision est un enjeu majeur pour plusieurs infrastructures d’Hydro-Québec et donc pour les populations et les activités socio-économiques. La recherche proposée vise à mieux prévoir ces différents types […]

Metabolomics, with a focus on the analysis of all small molecules or the metabolome, has become an important tool for biological studies and biomarker discovery. It has a wide range of applications, including the improvement of disease diagnosis and prognosis in the clinic, the development of superior agriculture and agri-food products with enhanced production and […]

La pipérazine est un contaminant chimique dont une valeur limite d’exposition professionnelle (VLEP) est inscrite au Règlement sur la Santé et Sécurité du Travail (RSST). Récemment, les valeurs inscrites au RSST ont été revues pour une grande quantité de contaminants chimiques. Ainsi, la VLEP de la pipérazine et ses sels sera inscrite avec la notation […]

Au Québec, les algues brunes sont le groupe d’algues le plus abondant. Ces dernières sont principalement constituées de polysaccharides. Il a été démontré que les algues du Québec contiennent des polysaccharides et des polyphénols ayant des bénéfices sur la santé. Une manière de valoriser ces molécules d’intérêt serait de les extraire pour en faire des […]

This project explores how different kinds of quantum systems can produce different patterns of correlations in networks; i.e. when several parties perform experiments on shared resources. A famous result known as Bell’s theorem showed that quantum physics allows correlations that cannot be explained using classical models without communication between the parties. Recent research suggests that […]
