The primary research objective is to determine the accuracy and stability of risk measures as they are developed and put into practice. The intern will be required to develop and implement testing strategies to help ensure new models exhibit comprehensive risk coverage and seamless integration to the existing CMRM risk-measurement framework. While focusing on a […]

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for loss allowances are changing, and financial institutions are proactively adapting existing methodologies and developing new ones to remain compliant. The main ingredient in the myriad of evaluations that banks are required to perform for compliance is risk assessment. The first goal of this research project is to review best […]

Epilepsy-related sudden death occurs following uncontrolled recurrent seizure which are usually non-responsive to antiepileptic drugs. These patients found dead in bed usually following heart and respiratory arrest. It is not known whether seizure-affected brain regions regulating cardiorespiratory function play a role in this complication and if so, what is the mechanism underneath in order to […]

This project seeks to add value to agri-food waste by extracting natural chemicals from the waste for use in new crop protection applications and then using the leftover material as a diet ingredient for producing black solider fly larvae. Multiple products can be obtained from black solider fly larvae including fertilizer, protein and oil. The […]

La présente proposition s’appuie sur un partenariat d’une durée de quatre ans, débutant en avril.2010 et se terminant en mars.2014, avec le Groupe Aldo, chef de file du domaine de détail des chaussures. Ce projet d’envergure fait suite à un projet industriel réalisé en 2009-2010, lequel repose sur la recherche d’efficience opérationnelle basée sur l’exploitation […]

La consommation énergétique des bâtiments représente à elle seule près de 40% de la consommation énergétique mondiale, et plus de 30% des émissions annuelles de gaz à effet de serre. Dans cet ordre d’idée, l’optimisation du contrôle des chauffages, de la ventilation et de la climatisation (CVC) représente un enjeu majeur pour le secteur énergétique […]

Cannabis sativa is a plant grown used as industrial hemp, for CBD oil, and both medicinal and recreational cannabis (marijuana). Since production has historically been prohibited in Canada and the USA, little is known about insect pests of cannabis, including a species of aphid, the cannabis aphid (Phorodon cannabis). In order to develop effective management […]

La réalité virtuelle est un outil de plus en plus utilisé par et pour les personnes aînées. Par contre, il y a peu de connaissances scientifiques entourant l’utilisation de cette technologie dans le cadre d’expériences de nature sociale. Ce projet vise donc à mieux comprendre comment les personnes aînées réagissent à des activités de sensibilisations […]

In industry, inspection of manufacturing floors is handled by humans. The drawback of using humans for this repetitive task is that collected data can be highly prone to bias due to small sample size and industrial engineers can miss relevant details during the cycle time analysis. Calculations often misinterpret the real factory situation. This research […]

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is an emerging technique that is used drug discovery by universities and pharmaceutical companies. The research team developed a multiplexing technique that can improve the imaging speed by 1000 times. However, matching 1000 focal points to 1000 detectors individually is very difficult. In this project, the team plans to develop a […]
