Random Graphs are crucial for modelling large, complex networks such as: the hyperlinks between pages of the web, protein interactions at the cellular level, the brain’s neural pathways, social networks and many others. Graphs are ubiquitous because they focus only on connectivity structure. A graph consists of a set of vertices, some pairs of which […]

Antibody therapeutics are a fast-growing class of treatments for many significant unmet medical needs. Ability biologics is a Montréal-based startup company that has significant unique proprietary data, sequences and activities for over 40 targets, for training deep-learning models, combined with laboratory facilities to create and test antibodies proposed by computer models. Ability Biologics will use […]

Both Wales and Quebec are known for the importance they place on promoting the Welsh and French languages, respectively, and have introduced a variety of policy, cultural, and educational initiatives to this end. They owe these successes partly to their history of collaborating and sharing knowledge to enhance language revitalization and education efforts in both […]

Comparing virtual and face-to-face interactions in language learning classrooms, this study aims to understand how the smoothness of turn-taking, interaction quality, and the presence of visual cues (such as body language) influence adult learners’ motivation to continue studying French in Quebec. We intend to conduct this through a mixed methods approach. Controlled experiments manipulating turn-taking […]

The project aims to identify eco-friendly organic molecules to be used as copper corrosion inhibitors for water cooling towers, which are crucial for heat management in facilities like hospitals and factories. Currently, toxic nonenvironmentaly- friendly chemicals are used to manage corrosion in water cooling towers, which pose environmental risks. The intern will collaborate with TGWT, […]

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is progressing toward innovative solutions specifically with remote monitoring instrumentation and artificial intelligence, can predict and detect physiological plant characteristics that will improve crop yield. The overall objective of this study is to design and build a test growth chamber to evaluate and remotely monitor environmental conditions and plant health. Environmental […]

This academic-industry collaboration aims to determine postharvest storage methods, combustion parameters and consumer behaviour for dried cannabis products that influence the physicochemical properties of cannabis ash, of which appearance (colour and integrity) has become an inadvertent dried cannabis product attribute that may drive consumer decisions towards legal distribution in a highly competitive market. Data generated […]

Neurons are like electrical wires that help the brain communicate with itself and other parts of the body. If broken, this ability is impaired, leading to reduced sensation and or motor function. Neurons in the mature mammalian central nervous system (CNS) don’t grow back after injury due to cellular, biochemical and physical barriers. Currently, there […]

This project aims to advance soft robotic research by developing innovative control mechanisms built from a gelatin-based biogel. Soft robots can deform to navigate through constrained spaces and perform complex tasks in unstructured environments, without the need for complex control. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications in dynamic environments, including medical […]

Exploring the structure and behavior of turbulent jets is a fundamental challenge in fluid mechanics. The application of turbulent jets in environmental and industrial contexts has led to a rise in both experimental and numerical research in this area. Nevertheless, the examination of counter-flowing jets released into a turbulent background has received less attention in […]

This project focuses on developing an innovative wound dressing that helps cool burn injuries, reduce pain, and speed up healing. The dressing will be made from natural, sustainable materials and will incorporate special components to control temperature, preventing further tissue damage and offering pain relief. Partnering with Miha Biotech, a company dedicated to creating eco-friendly […]

Antenatal corticosteroids are life-saving drugs administered to pregnant people at risk of imminent preterm birth. As the usage of these drugs continues to expand, select studies have raised concerns about potential longer-term consequences among infants born many weeks after treatment. Yet, because the exact timing of birth is unpredictable when treatment is administered, the causal […]
