The purpose of this 4?month internship is to scale?up the bionanofluid production at McGill University and then transfer this process to Leap Medical Labs for commercialization. At McGill, this will involve the design and implementation of 2 new reactors, as well as testing, optimization and validation of the various process parameters. Once the scale?up is […]

This project aims to understand and improve upon the shortcomings of physically based virtual human characters within virtual environments such as video games. Current physics-based character control methods tend to be too stiff, too strong, and too smart. That is, they do not respond in a natural loose manner to perturbations, they tend to use […]

In this research project, we would like to improve game testing using Reinforcement Learning (RL). By using RL, we can create intelligent agents that can play games independently and give us valuable feedback on the game’s quality. This will make game testing more effective and efficient. We also plan to explore a new approach called […]

Ecosystem restoration initiatives are considered among the most effective strategies in mitigating the effects of habitat destruction and biodiversity loss from human activities. The ecological restoration company Veritree is currently building an infrastructure of monitoring data streams for their projects to ensure that they are realizing their anticipated benefits. In this research project we will […]

Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using onhand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis, and visualization. In this internship, we analyze a real-world big data set(s) to make sensible inferences by […]

Aerial drones have been seeing a rise in popularity in a variety of domains such as shipping, search and rescue operations, and photography due to their ability to carry cameras and other packages through trajectories that avoid ground obstacles or offer an advantageous vantage point, all while allowing the operator to remain at a safe […]

Depuis une trentaine d’années, la densification urbaine a rapproché les milieux de vie des sites d’activités industrielles en réduisant les zones tampons entre tissus résidentiels et industriels. Cette situation rend souvent difficile la cohabitation des usages, notamment au niveau du bruit, comme en témoigne l’émergence de comités et associations de citoyens revendiquant le droit à […]

In rural India, access to healthcare is hindered by various factors including; cost, lack of healthcare professionals, distance to medical providors and delays in health interventions. To improve the delivery of healthcare, better knowledge on the location and type of health issues facing patients is required in a timely and accurate manner. This project proposes […]

Earthquakes happen when a geological fault suddenly slips along itself. Friction primarily governs the how a fault slips and whether that slip will be slow (not an earthquake) or sudden (an earthquake), yet the friction of faults remains poorly understood. One unexplored aspect of this problem is how the unique, grooved, streaky surface geometry and […]

The right to information, although central to today’s societies, is both currently undervalued and underperforming. The main reason for this is that changes in the informational landscape and in the role of the State in our societies has impacted on both the meaning of information, and the contours and extent of the right to information. […]

Non-compressible hemorrhage accounts for high mortality globally. Traditional tourniquets and wound dressings cannot apply to the internal and non-compressible bleeding sites. Currently, transfusion of blood remains the clinical “gold standard”, but has the issues of limited availability, short shelf-life, and high cost. There is an unmet need for the prevention or point-of-care treatment of non-compressible […]

This research project, conducted by McGill University in collaboration with Heritage Standing Inc., aims to preserve the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Saint John, New Brunswick. The cathedral, a heritage-designated site, faces structural challenges due to aging and past interventions. The focus will be on the main tower, analyzing its current condition, especially concerning […]
