Quantum Simulations with Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for solving PDEs, fractional equations, and eigenvalue problems, making them particularly suited for quantum mechanics, where traditional numerical methods often face computational bottlenecks. The aim of this internship is to analyse the applicability of PINNs to a broad range of quantum simulation tasks such as […]

Reversing immune evasion through modulation of exosome release

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest type of cancer affecting the female reproductive system. While surgery and chemotherapy are commonly used to treat it, many patients experience a recurrence of the disease that no longer responds to treatment. Immunotherapy—a method that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer—has worked well in other cancers but not in […]

Multiscale Simulation of Cortical and Hippocampal Dynamics Using Region-Specific Brain Network Models

Recent advances in computational neuroscience underscore the value of biologically accurate models integrating multimodal neuroimaging to simulate brain activity realistically. Deep brain areas like the hippocampus, crucial for memory and cognition, pose challenges for non-invasive study due to their complex dynamics. The Region-Specific Brain Network Model (RSBNM) addresses this by combining Neural Mass Models, high-resolution […]

Rewiring Time in Brain Models: Anatomically-Grounded Delay Distributions for Multiscale Neural Mass Modeling

This international project brings together top neuroscience teams from McGill University (Canada) and Aix-Marseille University (France) to develop the next generation of realistic brain models. The goal is to improve how computer simulations represent the timing of signals traveling through the brain, which depends on factors like axon length, thickness, and myelination. Current models often […]

3D-Printed Thermoelectric Metamaterials

Thermoelectric materials present a promising solution for sustainable energy generation, offering the potential to complement existing energy systems in everyday applications. However, the performance of conventional thermoelectric materials is largely constrained by the intrinsic properties of their bulk constituents. To overcome these limitations, reducing material weight while enhancing efficiency, adaptability, and multifunctionality is essential. One […]

Mixed Methods in Indigenous Health Research: Colombia, Canada & the Caribbean

In 2020, there were 19.3 million new cancer cases and 9.9 million related deaths, with 70% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. In Latin America, cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with cases projected to rise from 4 million in 2020 to 6 million by 2040. Indigenous populations are among the most affected; in […]

Modeling cardiac fibrosis in a dish with human iPSC-derived fibroblasts

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in Canada and is a progressive disease characterized by impaired heart function that can ultimately lead to heart failure, with a rising incidence and a 5-year survival rate of only 50%. Advanced cases of heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are referred for mechanical circulatory support […]
