Two-photon microscopy is a powerful imaging technique that allows to visualize and study living cells in the brain, immune system, and skin. It currently relies on lasers that emit specific pulse durations, but other pulse configurations may work just as well or better, and can be produced with smaller, more affordable lasers. This could make […]

Blending methane with hydrogen for power generation is well-known to significantly lower carbon-based emissions. However, studies have shown that implementing hydrogen is not trivial. In gas turbine combustion systems, major modifications may be required to facilitate the safe combustion of hydrogen and these modifications depend on numerical modeling. Turbulent combustion modeling can strongly accelerate the […]

Research in our group has begun to show that plants generate and use electrical signals to control functions within their structure. When external stimuli are applied to a plant, different electrical signals are generated. These electrical signals contain information both about the stimuli but also how the plant reacts to this stimuli. This research project’s […]

Accurately predicting entrainment in free shear flows like jets, wakes, and shallow water shear layers is crucial for industrial, environmental, and geophysical applications, yet most studies focus on wakes and jets using Eulerian statistics from 2D experiments, limiting insight into this inherently 3D, multiscale phenomenon. To bridge this gap, we will conduct cutting-edge measurements capturing […]

Presently and historically, Inuit have faced unequal access to employment. Douglas Health Research Center members and Ivirtivik, an employment centre for Inuit, seek to create a collaborative, meaningful research relationship to better understand employment facilitators and barriers for Inuit in Tiohtià:ke (the geographical region called “Montréal”). Inuit cultural knowledge guides this endeavour, emphasizing inclusive, collaborative […]

Dans le contexte de réformes des systèmes de soins, incluant ceux en rapport avec la dépendance, cette étude vise à améliorer les connaissances et soutenir la prise de décision sur les profils d’usagers aux prises avec des troubles concomitants de dépendance aux substances psychoactives (alcool et différentes drogues) et de santé mentale. L’objet de l’étude […]

Lighting and heating remain high-cost energy considerations in controlled environment agriculture, whether for food or medicinal plant production, yet how these parameters affect highly valued phytochemical profiles in Cannabis sativa inflorescence and subsequent cannabis products remains largely unexplored in industrial settings. This information could prove useful for licensed producers of cannabis or indoor food producers […]

Vision loss caused by retinal degeneration remains untreatable, posing a significant medical challenge. Unlike mammals, certain vertebrates like fish and frogs possess a remarkable regenerative ability in their retinas, mediated by Müller glia—specialized support cells that can proliferate and replace lost neurons. In mammals, however, Müller glia fail to regenerate neurons after injury, instead undergoing […]

Automatic mixing is a field of music technology research looking to automate sound engineering processes. The project will look to expand the field, using machine learning techniques to analyze the relationship of the subjective sound engineering techniques of audio engineers. From this, a unique and quantifiable data set will be we gathered in order to […]

New, greener methods for performing large-scale industrial chemical reactions are critical to decoupling the chemical industry from fossil fuels. Once such emerging category of reactions known as chemoenzymatic reactions are reliant on fossil fuel-derived solvents to run the reactions. Chemoenzymatic reactions are critical in making complex molecules essential in the pharmaceutical and materials industries. We […]

The one-year project will investigate the geological, geochemical and geophysical properties of three Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits in Québec. Each of the selected deposit is representative of a class of REE mineral deposits. The project will provide new insights in the origin of the three types of REE mineral deposits. This new understanding of […]

This project will involve developing tools and conducting analyses to improve the efficiency and quality of a quantitative ultrasound (QUS)-based machine learning pipeline. The student will work within a company that uses raw ultrasound image data captured on mobile devices to produce liver health scores (measured in kPa). These scores are used to assess liver […]
