Le changement climatique représente l’un des plus grands défis auxquels nous devons faire face. Ce phénomène est causé par le réchauffement de la planète en conséquence des concentrations élevés des gaz à effet de serre (GES) dans l’atmosphère liée aux activités humaines telles que l’utilisation des combustibles fossiles dans le secteur industriel. Les acteurs métalliques […]

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

Le développement de technologies alternatives au pétrole est devenu un impératif. Toutefois, il ne faut pas envisager d’autres ressources fossiles pour subvenir à nos besoins au risque de se retrouver dans une situation semblable. L’énergie solaire est considérée depuis plusieurs années comme une candidate excellente pour subvenir à nos besoins. Dans le cadre de ce […]

Picard-Lefchetz theory is a powerful tool for evaluating highly oscillatory integrals that are difficult or impossible to solve using other integration methods. This theory has numerous applications to lensing, quantum mechanics, and high energy physics. In this project, I will investigate using Picad-Lefchetz theory to solve simple lensing problems with the goal of applying these […]

Au cours des trois dernières années, il y a eu un regain d’intérêt pour l’effet Hall thermique dans des matériaux quantiques. Tout d’abord, la possibilité qu’il puisse être utilisé pour détecter des excitations exotiques dans des matériaux liquide de spin, tels que les célèbres (et insaisissables) fermions de Majorana – qui auraient été mis en […]

Chitin is a biopolymer extracted from various biomass waste streams including crustaceans, cephalopods, insects, and fungus in large scale. It is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose and as such, constitutes the core component of the shell-biorefinery, as a part of blue-biorefinery. Chitosan, as the deacetylated version of chitin, features unique and attractive properties […]

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 […]

This internship is to investigate the properties of charge carriers confined into nano-scale structures commonly known as quantum dots. The internship will focus on exploring a novel family of group IV semiconductors exhibiting a direct bandgap. The core paradigm here is to harness the favorable properties of hole spin in group IV quantum dots along […]

Climate change is impacting food and agricultural crops through a variety of new challenges such as intense heat, unusually intense storms, unseasonal warming and freezing events and wildfires. Plants are not able to move and therefore cannot avoid climate shocks or relocate to find resources. Protecting crops from climate damage is critical to ensuring the […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a critical energy storage device in various applications, such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and grid storage, due to their high energy density and good rate capabilities. Carbon-based materials have been widely used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, graphite is the most common anode material used […]

Le projet consiste à utiliser un microgel déjà existant constituer d’un polymère ainsi que des particules d’or. Ce microgel présente des caractéristiques de gonflement réversible. Ces gonflements peuvent être maîtrisés par l’irradation à la lumière du microgel. A partir de ce microgel, on souhaite y greffer des nouveaux polymères. Les greffages auront lieu soit directement […]

This project is part of a larger project that seeks to develop an effective, accurate, and cost-effective way to measure soil carbon, improve soil health, and sequester carbon. The interns will gather process samples from across Alberta. The resulting data will contribute to the creation of a digital soil organic carbon map for Alberta that […]
