This project aims to automate the early detection of pandemics by constructing knowledge graphs from open-source data, by providing direct enhancement to an important R&D project, the Health Emergency Monitoring (HEM) tool, of the partner organization. The research, when completed, will provide advanced AI capabilities (more specifically the incorporation of state-of-art LLM), and reduce the […]

This project aims to help Canadian UAV startups improve the safety and reliability of their autopilot systems by creating a software tool that checks and fine-tunes how these systems perform. Using a method called structured H8 synthesis, implemented through MATLAB, the intern will build a framework that ensures flight control systems meet key industry requirements, […]

Le projet consiste à développer un agent conversationnel intelligent, c’est-à-dire un assistant virtuel capable de répondre aux questions en utilisant des informations scientifiques fiables. Contrairement aux outils classiques de recherche sur Internet, cet agent est conçu pour fournir des réponses basées uniquement sur des données validées par des experts et provenant de sources reconnues en […]

This research seeks to improve gas turbine engine components, focusing on dynamic seals that withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, pressures, and abrasive particles, to enhance aircraft performance and durability. Current carbon-based materials used in seals like segmented seals—designed to prevent oil leakage—are vulnerable to degradation, which can lead to engine damage and costly […]
