My research project at ASIIA would focus more on the properties of the ISM for PSR J0621+1002. Scintillation is caused by inhomogeneity in the ISM, known as scattering screens. The main objective of the project is to map the scattering screen between us and the pulsar and how it changes over 8-10 years of observed […]

La larve de carpocapse des pommes et des poires (Cydia pomonella) est l’un des principaux ravageurs des vergers au Canada. La demande pour des traitements alternatifs et durables aux insecticides chimiques est en croissance. BioTepp, une entreprise québécoise, est spécialisé dans la production in vivo d’un biopesticide dont l’agent actif est le virus de la […]

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

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe way to non-invasively probe the body, particularly for imaging soft tissues. In Canada, MRI use is growing, but there’s a concern with people who have medical devices inside them, as the strong magnets used in MRI could cause problems for these devices. Doctors are interested in using MRI […]

Un but fondamental des neurosciences est la compréhension des opérations de base du cerveau, et comment celles-ci sont affectées par les changements comportementaux. Plus précisément, de quelles façons l’activité neuronale est-elle liée aux processus cognitifs et comportementaux ? Depuis son développement, la microscopie optique a toujours été un instrument de choix pour étudier les propriétés […]

Any new tool must match the sensitivity and ease of the best homogenous liquid sampling techniques. It must execute automated slurry capture, phase separation, and sample delivery without perturbing solute-solid equilibria. Our in-line slurry manipulation utilizes EasySampler™ slurry probe, capturing solids and liquids. The sample is delivered via a weak solvent to an inline filter […]

A coherent microwave source is a crucial component in various applications operating within the RF frequency band, including telecommunications, sensing and medical imaging. It provides a stable reference signal, transmits information, and drives other RF components. Recent research by the Hu Group has developed a new method for generating highly coherent microwave emissions, which holds […]

Peanut products are known to contain allergens capable of causing severe and life threatening allergic reactions. Classically, Ara h 1, Ara h 2, and Ara h 3 are considered to be the major peanut allergens, whereas Ara h 9 is the most prevalent allergen in Mediterranean countries. Current detection methods of peanut allergens are expensive […]

Dans l’industrie pharmaceutique, la qualité des médicaments est de plus haute importance car elle touche des enjeux plus larges en termes de santé publique. Alors une démarche qualité est indispensable car elle est considérée comme un pilier de l’entreprise. Les organismes pharmaceutiques ont tendance de mettre en place un système de management de qualité qui […]

The overarching goal of this project is to develop optimized instrumentation and methods for the detection of potent drugs such as fentanyl. SCATR Inc. is a company that develops hardware and software innovative solutions for drug checking with the goal to reduce the harm caused by the use of unknown substances. The collaboration between SCATR […]

Today, quantum computers of any architecture still operate in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) regime, with systems composed of tens to hundreds of noisy qubits that are not protected from errors. To meaningfully solve challenging problems from industries using quantum computers, we need to make a system that is large enough in scale and robust […]

Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams have traditionally been used in thermal insulation applications. These foams, however, are characterized by a high carbon footprint and high manufacturing costs since the two main reagents used to make such foams are petroleum based and quite expensive. Hence, the objective of this work is to reduce the carbon footprint and […]
