Environ 7% des nouveau-nés sont atteints de syndromes de détresse respiratoire à la naissance et nécessitent des traitements exposés dans le programme de réanimation néonatale. Même en santé, les nourrissons ont besoin de traitements de qualité administrés par des soignants qualifiés. CAE Healthcare (Montréal, Canada) forme ce personnel en santé grâce à des simulateurs avancés […]

Large scale monitoring and control systems are being increasingly deployed around us, from intelligent transportation systems to smart grids. In exchange of the benefits supplied by these systems, participating agents are required to continuously share data with these complex systems. This data often consists of highly privacy-sensitive information, including but not limited to location, power […]

The global goal of this project is to drastically reduce ABIPA’s tooling cost that can reach 5 million dollars a year. This reduction would rely on a performant tool condition evaluation technique (using fractal analysis) to be able to use tools in their optimal capability. This research proposal focuses on tool wear and tool life […]

We dedicate to inventory routing problems with uncertain demand, arising from supply chain systems. We determine replenishment times, quantities, and vehicle routes to serve customers. To predict customer demand, we use machine learning techniques to extract information from historical data, which is normally available in big data era. We use distributionally robust optimization method to […]

The forest industry is going through a transformation worldwide. Competitive limitations faced by companies starting with the newsprint demand decline have required process modernization and portfolio diversification. As a result, the forest biorefinery emerged – facilities for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. The forest sector has adopted the biorefinery concept globally because it […]

Polystyrene is a non-biodegradable polymer whose versatility has expanded its applicability to consumer products such as packaging and electronic components. For this reason, end-of-life polystyrene has become an environmental burden and recycling is an alternative to close the cycle of this material, preventing it to reach landfills or to be openly dumped. However, high impact […]

VETWATER (Sainte-Brigide-d’Iberville, QC) produces pet equilibrated water under the commercial name of “VETWATER urinary solution for cats” (VC), which helps preventing urinary crystals and stones (urolithiasis) by equilibrating pH strictly in the 6.2-6.4 range. Besides urolithiasis, feline lower urinary tract diseases (FLUTDs) affect the urinary bladder and urethra of cats without any obvious underlying cause- […]

Selon le plus récent rapport du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat (GIEC), les événements extrêmes tels que les précipitations abondantes sont susceptibles d’augmenter. Le projet proposé s’inscrit dans la quantification de cette augmentation et a pour but général d’introduire les effets du changement climatique aux courbes Intensité-Durée-Fréquence (IDF) des précipitations. Ces courbes sont […]

L’objectif du projet de stage sera d’améliorer la convergence et la vitesse de résolution des problèmes électromagnétiques et thermiques fortement couplés pour simuler le phénomène d’emballement thermique (i.e. « quench ») dans des électro-aimants supraconducteurs soumis à des variations rapides de courant et/ou de champ magnétique. Les électro-aimants ont de nombreuses applications pratiques, la plus […]

La recherche proposée vise à améliorer le rendement des PME fromagères québécoises. Des modèles de pilotage et de valorisation des données d’exploitation seront développés pour la prise de décisions basés sur des données probantes en temps réel. Cette recherche permettra de développer un modèle d’exploitation des fromageries, commun et optimisé, qui inclura l’identification de différents […]

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 […]
