Encoding information in quantum states is the new era of communication known as quantum communication. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the building block of quantum communication making a distribution of a secret key between two parties. The quantum states can be two-dimensions (qubit) or d-dimensions (qudit) quantum states defined in different degrees of freedom (e.g., […]

La simulation et l’émulation sent des voies qui méritent d’être explorées pour alleger le fardeau de la maintenance d’un materiel coûteux et de son infrastructure. Trouver et mettre en oeuvre le bon niveau de details dans un simulateur de périphérique permet de prototyper et de tester rapidement le logiciel afin de réduire les délais de […]

Nowadays, the topic of environmental sustainability and eco-friendly materials is present in every area of daily life. This research project, in the field of civil engineering, deals with the study of particular materials used for the construction of road pavements that have as their strong point the fact that they are recycled from existing pavements […]

Le cerveau fait partie des structures complexes les plus remarquables et importantes du corps humain. Le maintien de son intégrité est crucial. Insidieusement, dans les sports de contact, le cerveau est exposé à des impacts répétés asymptomatiques dits « sous-commotionnels » associés à des altérations progressives susceptibles de causer des maladies neurodégénératives. Malheureusement, la réponse […]

Theoretically sound and industry-robust software measures are necessary in industry and research. Functional sizing measures of software, such as COSMIC Function Points – ISO 19761 – are useful for the quantitative planning, monitoring, control, and objective assessment of software projects and organizations. Through this project, the COSMIC Group will adapt this international measurement method to […]

The research project aims to evaluate the potential of using abrasive waterjet machining and additive manufacturing in composite repair as a sustainable, circular economic strategy. The study will investigate the effectiveness of abrasive waterjet machining on additively manufactured composite specimens, assess the quality of machined surfaces, and simulate composite repair scenarios in a laboratory setting. […]

Theoretically sound and industry-robust software measures are necessary to identify and select the most productive software development organizations (internal and external) and avoid significant overspending on software investments. Functional sizing measures, such as COSMIC Function Points – ISO 19761 – are necessary for the quantitative planning, monitoring, control, and objective assessment of software projects. Huge […]

Investiguer l’utilisation d’une méthode SPH pour la prédiction des crues à grande échelle à partir des données LiDAR. Les données LiDAR sont rendues disponible par le ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec. Plus spécifiquement : 1) générer des domaines de calcul compatible avec la méthode de calcul SPH Open Source […]

Given the high mobility and flexible deployment of UAVs, this technology has evolved as a key enabler of several applications such as aerial cargo delivery and precision agriculture. However, with the advancement of its payload, including storage and computing capabilities, UAVs can handle critical services such as road traffic monitoring, accident prediction, and vehicular traffic/task […]

Une blessure à la moelle épinière peut entraîner des troubles neurologiques qui ont un impact important sur la qualité de vie des individus touchés comme la paralysie. L’utilisation de modèles numériques de la moelle épinière est une méthode prometteuse pour mieux comprendre comment se développent les troubles neurologiques. Cependant, les modèles existants n’incluent généralement par […]

Modern code review (MCR) is broadly adopted as an established and effective software quality assurance practice, with an increasing number of open-source as well as commercial software projects that adopt code review as a crucial practice. The MCR process is most effective when developers follow best practices, such as efficient, collaborative and timely review discussions […]

The context of the project is fundamental research on human hearing, which has the overarching goal to improve hearing protector devices and hearing aids. The aim of the project is to predict the increased perception of physiological sounds such as one’s own voice due to a blocking of the earcanal using numerical simulations. This is […]
