This summer internship aims to build an annotated dataset for pulmonary embolism (PE) detection on ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) SPECT scans using diverse and multicenter imaging studies. This involves data cleaning, data categorization, and annotation of perfusion defects consistent with the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, and then use these data to train and validate diagnostic AI models […]

We propose to tackle a challenging problem in computer graphics called ‘skinning’. A skinning technique consists in animating the skin of a 3D virtual character. In our context we seek a method specifically targeted to computer games. Therefore our goal is to develop a skinning method as visually plausible as possible with real-time performance. We […]

Ce projet de recherche porte sur la vitalité des petites municipalités rurales au Québec. Je tenterai d’y identifier les facteurs qui contribuent à la vitalisation, en vérifiant l’hypothèse qu’elle repose en partie sur le fruit d’un dialogue entre élu.es et citoyen.nes. À travers des entretiens réalisés avec des citoyennes, citoyens et des élu·es municipaux, le […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif de soutenir l’élaboration d’un programme destiné à réduire le temps d’utilisation des écrans chez les enfants de 2 à 5 ans. La stagiaire contribuera aux recherches pour établir un cadre de référence à partir de la littérature scientifique actuelle sur les habitudes numériques des jeunes enfants. De plus, […]

Compost leachate (CL) is a liquid by-product generated during composting that poses a significant environmental risk due to its ability to contaminate surface and groundwater. This research explores an innovative CL treatment strategy by integrating two complementary processes: ammonia stripping (AS) and electrooxidation (EO). The study proposes two approaches: the first is to apply ammonia […]

In recent years, many studies have investigated and demonstrated the positive effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation on fracture healing, pain management, cancer treatment, or neurological disorders. With the increasing number of diabetes patients in the current society, the use of EMF could potentially be used as a new alternative and non-invasive method to treat […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de créer un outil simple et efficace permettant de suivre en temps réel les mises à jour et changements dans les réglementations concernant notre site. L’outil centralisera toutes les informations liées aux nouvelles normes et lois, pour que chacun puisse facilement consulter les changements, comprendre leur impact et suivre les […]

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are recently discovered lymphocytes that have innate ability to produce a specific set of hormone-like proteins called cytokines. While the importance of ILC2s in allergic diseases including asthma have been implicated by recent reports, the progress in our understanding of ILC2s has been hampered by the fact that they […]

Landslides are natural hazards, commonly triggered by heavy rainfall, glacier melt, and permafrost degradation. This project explores an emerging fibre-optic sensing technology, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), which can enhance our understanding of slope failure processes. DAS transforms fibre-optic cables into thousands of sensors capable of detecting small-scale ground deformation in near-real-time. This project will apply […]

Salt marshes are highly productive coastal ecosystems that have faced extensive impacts from human activities. They provide an extensive array of services including the provisioning of habitat to a diversity of species. In Maritime Canada, acres of salt marsh have been diked to accommodate agricultural land, freshwater impoundments, and infrastructure. Increasing recognition of the services […]

In accordance with the Digital Policy Hub research foci on artificial intelligence, as well as digitization, security and democracy, the underlying purpose of the project is to research the limitations of language translation technologies in order to suggest updated policy for international institutions to responsibly use them. This directly supports the Digital Policy Hub’s objective […]

Le projet consiste à vérifier et améliorer pour gérer les CAPA et assurer leur efficacité, c’est-à-dire les actions correctives et les actions préventives prises pour améliorer et minimiser les erreurs possibles en production et dans l’entreprise. Cela permettra à l’organisme partenaire d’assurer la conformité et la sécurité des produits tout en permettant de minimiser les […]
