The objective of this project is to investigate the feasibility of a novel anchor fixation device for which the anchoring mechanisms is prompted by the expansion and polymerization of a polymeric material. Accordingly, an innovative solution inspired from the self-healing polymer concept is proposed for sufficient expansion and fixation to wall panels for masonry and […]

Les prix figurent parmi les décisions importantes à prendre par les responsables des ventes. En particulier pour les entreprises du bois d’œuvre, les responsables de ventes se fient aux estimations des prix, basées sur le jugement d’experts, fournies hebdomadairement par le Conseil de l’Industrie Forestière du Québec (CIFQ). La génération hebdomadaire de ces estimations de […]

This project deals with the development of three applications of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research aiming at improving the cost, response time and flexibility of production cost assessment, process planning and production at Nétur. Nétur manufactures high precision parts for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) in the aerospace industry, such as Pratt & Whitney. Data mining […]

TAS (Techno Aero Services Inc.) is a Canadian recruitment agency specialized in aeronautics, engineering, and technology. At TAS, candidates currently submit resumes to a database through a web interface. These resumes are then manually processed by recruiters before a suitable candidate is matched to a position. Through this laborious manual process, great prospective candidates often […]

The aircraft flight deck has increased substantively in its complexity in recent years. The input systems are more complex, and the information feeds are much more detailed. In order for a pilot to interface effectively with the aircraft systems, the cockpit control functions must be laid out in an intuitive format. To do this, a […]

The goal of this research project is to develop novel technics to teach artificial agents how to play complex video games using reinforcement learning and demonstrations. Namely, we wish to propose a novel approach for learning from demonstrations, in which an agent simultaneously learns a behavior and the corresponding reward signal. This training procedure will […]

The public transportation system is crucial in alleviating urban congestion. The widespread of smart card automated fare collection (AFC) system produces massive data recording passengers’ day-to-day transport dynamic, which provides unprecedented opportunities to researchers and practitioners to understand and improve transit services. This project aims to make full use of the transit operational data (mainly […]

The interns will develop novel technologies using laser light to interrogate molecular vibrations in biological tissue setting up the stage for the next generation of intraoperative imaging techniques used to guide surgical interventions, including the resection of tumours in prostate and ovarian surgery as well as in neurosurgery. The partner organisation (Optech) is an organisation […]

In this project, we aim to design and develop an Intelligent mixed-reality Simulation & training ecosystem for Extreme Environments (I.SEE), which will be an innovative mixed-reality simulation ecosystem of hyper-realistic and fully immersive experience for enhanced crisis response, management, training, and data analysis. The ecosystem will be built based on a three-layer architecture: (i) On […]

Durant les années où les prix des métaux ont permis une hausse des revenus pour les minières, ces dernières ont constaté que cette hausse ne s’est pas traduite par des profits substantiels pour les investisseurs. Ce constat a amené les minières à réfléchir à leur mode opérationnel et à développer un processus d’amélioration continue inspiré […]

Les infrastructures en béton armé (ponts, routes, ports, canaux de navigation) ont un impact majeur sur la société. Les bénéfices économiques reliés à l’utilisation de ces infrastructures sont considérables, cependant ils sont contrebalancés par les coûts directs des travaux de remplacement ou de réhabilitations récurrentes. Le projet Développement d’éléments préfabriqués et de réparations pour les […]

The present project will evaluate the techno-economic and environmental performance of an Integrated Biorefinery System that employs an innovative state-of-art fast pyrolysis processes for the production of bio renewable fuels in the bio-economy. A systematic design methodology will be defined using state-of-the-art process systems engineering tools which include market analysis, techno-economic assessment, cost accounting, energy […]
