This project will support Alta Construction Group, a Canadian for-profit organization operating in the housing and built-environment sector, by strengthening its business strategy and operational decision-making. Two undergraduate interns will conduct market research, analyze data, and assess internal processes to help the organization better understand market demand, improve efficiency, and identify growth opportunities. The insights […]

This project aims to help the Canadian SADS Foundation improve how it supports patients and families affected by sudden cardiac conditions while expanding its services into Quebec. It will involve updating and simplifying educational materials so they are easier to understand, more accessible online, and available in both English and French. At the same time, […]

This internship project, undertaken by two interns working in parallel, focuses on the continued development of a scalable software platform to support large-scale 4E (energy-electricity-economy-environment) system modelling. The project addresses a critical transition from reliance on semi-manual and spreadsheet-based workflows toward a proprietary, database-driven infrastructure that enables automation, reproducibility, and improved performance. Interns will contribute […]

Nous avons un modèle entraîné sur des fichiers audios de personnes qui parlent le français en seconde langue, et nous souhaitons explorer et améliorer la reconnaissance de notre modèle “Speech to text” pour les apprenants débutants en français. Objectif: réduction du WER pour des apprenants débutants en français avec une IA conversationnelle. Plus tard, nous […]

À l’ère où les algorithmes de recommandation traditionnels agissent comme des « boîtes noires » prédatrices qui enferment les usagers dans des bulles de filtres, ce projet de recherche vise à redonner le plein pouvoir aux citoyens. En collaborant avec la plateforme de partage de connaissances « En commun », nous développerons un agent d’accompagnement […]

Le projet porte sur le développement de méthodes d’intelligence artificielle (IA) destinées à améliorer la surveillance continue du SF6 et des mélanges SF6/CF4 dans les appareillages haute tension exploités par Hydro-Québec, notamment les disjoncteurs de 145 à 315 kV et les postes GIS. Le SF6, bien que disposant d’excellentes propriétés diélectriques et d’extinction d’arc, est […]

This project will help the Trauma-Focused Therapy Program (TFTP) at the Jewish General Hospital better understand who is accessing its specialized services for complex trauma and how patients’ symptoms change over the course of treatment. Complex trauma, which is often linked to repeated childhood maltreatment, can lead to serious mental health, physical health, and psychosocial […]

Localized surface plasmon resonance underpins numerous applications, including plasmonic sensing, energy conversion, and cancer therapy. However, understanding how structural and compositional factors govern plasmonic resonances in increasingly complex sample architectures is challenging. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful method for probing electronic characteristics of plasmonic materials at the […]

This project examines student mental health using Self-Determination Theory, a well-established psychological framework, to understand how well-being and distress are shaped not only by individual experiences but also by students’ social and cultural environments. By conducting an analogous study with university students in Trieste, Italy and Montreal, Canada, the project will compare how basic psychological […]

Maritime journeys have historically carried not only people and goods across China & Southeast Asia, but also gods, rituals, and sacred networks. This project will especially examine the worship of Mazu, a Chinese sea goddess originating in Meizhou, China, who stands out for her spread across South China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Historically rooted in […]

Cyber threats targeting democratic elections have escalated globally, manifesting as informational attacks (misinformation, disinformation) and technical attacks (hacking, data breaches). While governments recognize the need for comprehensive responses encompassing legislative, policy, and administrative measures, existing research focuses narrowly on national-level analysis or single response types, limiting identification of best practices. This proposal offers a comparative […]

This project will contribute to the development of a leading experiment in physics seeking to observe dark matter particles and a hypothetical nuclear decay process. The experiment is called XLZD. Through the development and execution of sophisticated simulation codes, the performance of XLZD will be evaluated through the calculation of several figures of merit. The […]
