This research project aims to address the existing knowledge gap regarding the effectiveness of drone-based reforestation compared to natural forest regeneration in post-wildfire areas. This study seeks to provide valuable insights into its benefits, limitations, and potential for large-scale reforestation efforts. The research outcomes will contribute to the scientific understanding of drone-based reforestation, guide reforestation […]

Recent findings expose the concerning sensitivity of hydrologic and geomorphic function to clearcut logging. Water quality, fish habitat, downstream infrastructure, and human lives are all suffering due to clearcut practices and climate change. This study will explore for the first time the differences between the effect of clearcut logging and more ecosystem friendly logging practices […]

Nanoparticles are objects on the scale of billionths of a meter, and their small size gives them properties that are scientifically interesting and commercially important. Vive Crop Protection has commercialized a technology in which they use a nanoparticle-enabled approach to enhance the delivery of agricultural pesticides. This project is about controlling the process of clumping […]

Au Canada, plus de 90 000 personnes sont atteintes de la sclérose en plaques. Cette maladie neurodégénérative et auto-immune, médiée par l’inflammation, touche le système nerveux central. Les lésions, principalement de la matière blanche, sont à l’origine de perturbations de la transmission de l’influx nerveux entre le système nerveux central et le reste du corps. […]

This project will help a structural engineering firm reduce unwanted cracking in newly cast concrete floor slabs. The intern will test several concrete mixes that are commonly used by the partner, including one that has cracked in real buildings and others that have performed well. In the laboratory, the intern will measure how much each […]

Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment différentes personnes cohabitent sur et autour des voies cyclables : cyclistes, piétons, personnes en fauteuil roulant ou utilisant une aide à la mobilité, personnes aveugles ou malvoyantes, et utilisateurs de trottinettes. Avec la popularité croissante du vélo et de la mobilité active, ces espaces deviennent des lieux où […]

Dans un contexte de transition énergétique, le Québec prévoit accroître sa production d’énergies renouvelables comme l’éolien et le solaire. Cependant, cette évolution ne peut reposer uniquement sur de nouveaux investissements massifs dans les infrastructures électriques. Les Non-Wire Alternatives (NWA) telles que la gestion de la demande, le stockage d’énergie, les microréseaux ou les plateformes numériques […]

Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, mainly because relapses are often detected too late. This research project aims to validate an innovative method to monitor patients after treatment by detecting tiny traces of tumor DNA circulating in the blood. Using a highly sensitive genome sequencing approach, it will […]

Intern(s) will help Thermweave develop washable fabrics that move heat away from the body with enhanced thermal conductivity. They’ll develop dip-coating recipes that use tiny carbon-based particles, dip common fabrics (cotton, polyester) in them, and fine-tune steps like time, temperature, and drying. The interns will test how well the fabric moves heat, and how it […]
