This project will focus on creating a better way to detect senescent cells in the brain. Senescent cells are cells that no longer divide, but can still affect nearby cells in harmful ways. By analyzing large sets of gene expression data, the intern will help the partner organization develop new AI-based methods to find these […]

Wildfires pose a growing threat to utility infrastructure in Canada, particularly in regions prone to extreme weather conditions. Utility poles, which support power lines and communication networks, are especially vulnerable to fire damage, leading to costly repairs and service disruptions. With the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires, it is crucial to improve the fire […]

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold immense potential for regenerative therapies, primarily due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types and their immunomodulatory properties. While traditionally derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or umbilical cord, these sources pose significant challenges, including cost, invasiveness, and availability. Recent studies suggest that human hair follicles (HF) offer […]

Electricity is a pivotal sector that prioritizes reliability and safety within power systems. Traditional power network monitoring evolved with integration of sensors and satellite/aerial imagery. Nevertheless, persistent threats due to unpredictable environment changes and suboptimal maintenance are causing power outages. Simultaneously, advancements in AI enabled comprehensive analysis of inspection data, yet current approaches struggle to […]

The skin provides an important protective barrier for the body. When this barrier is compromised due to injury or other insults, the skin responds by initiating a process called wound healing to restore the barrier function. Wound healing is driven by specialized cells in the skin that respond to molecular signals following injury. When wound […]

Le projet a pour objectif d’évaluer les performances des pièces faciales filtrantes (PFF) N95 utilisées dans des environnements professionnels exposés aux particules fines. Les PFFs sont testées sous diverses conditions d’utilisation, et le projet proposé s’attèle à mesurer à la fois l’efficacité de filtration et la résistance respiratoire (perte de charge) dans différentes conditions (en […]

L’un des plus grands défis pour le système de soins de santé québécois est l’augmentation des coûts et du fardeau social associés aux maladies chroniques. Parmi celles-ci, les maux de dos sont responsables de la majeure partie des coûts engendrés par les conditions qui touchent le système musculosquelettique. Nombreux sont les patients qui consultent en […]

The ability to isolate, control, and characterize individual spin states of qubits/quantum dots is crucial for quantum sensing and quantum computing. Achieving control over such quantum systems requires a fundamental understanding of materials at the atomic level. The best tool to access this information is scanning probe microscopy (SPM), which enables atomic-scale fabrication, and characterization […]

Friendships between colleagues with different visual abilities might promote organizational harmony. However, people lacking experience with visually diverse peers may feel apprehensive about forming such bonds. Studies suggest common interests and values facilitate friendship. Thus, emphasizing what colleagues have in common may improve teamwork. But recognizing the unique experiences of those with sight loss is […]

This project aims to develop an integrated software and control system solution to tackle the challenges posed by high variability, nonlinear dynamics, and real-time monitoring in bio-processes, specifically within laboratory-scale bioreactors. Employing a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) framework with open hardware and software platforms, the project aims to automate processes, enhance monitoring/control capabilities, […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Then intent of this project is to develop and demonstrate a highly synchronized communication system capable of connecting multiple devices operating on effectively the same clock. This functionality ensures that any measurement that is made on one single device can be correlated to another measurement made on a separate device with sub-microsecond accuracy. It is […]
