Le fleuve Saint-Laurent est essentiel pour le développement économique du Québec, car il sert de route principale pour le transport de marchandises et d’entrée en Amérique du Nord. Compte tenu de son intense activité, le Saint-Laurent a été choisi comme site pilote pour tester une nouvelle norme internationale, la norme S-100 de l’Organisation Hydrographique Internationale […]

This project would seek to develop an integrated system incorporating a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into carbon monoxide and water, aiming for maximum production of carbon monoxide. RWGS is an endothermic, catalytic, equilibrium-limited reaction, so the project team will seek to develop efficient, novel catalysts and supports, […]

The proposed research project aims to address the significant natural hazard of large-scale landslides in sensitive clays, which can cause substantial economic loss, environmental disaster, infrastructure damage, and fatalities. The partner organization, WSP, specializes in geotechnical engineering services, including geohazard assessment from landslides and slope failure. This project will explore the applicability of advanced large-deformation […]

Temperature control is very important to a modern day society. Certain beverages, such as soda pop, alcoholic beverages, and even water are refrigerated so that they are more refreshing to drink. This project objective is to design novel environmentally benign and emission-free self-cooling beverage cans. Two different systems with different cooling approached are considered. The […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à développer un nouveau procédé pour éliminer le fer et le manganèse des eaux souterraines destinées à la consommation humaine. Pour y arriver, nous testerons l’utilisation de filtres avec deux couches de matériaux réactifs activés biologiquement qui permettent de prolonger les durées de cycle et d’éliminer dans un seul filtre […]

En 2023, Destination Québec-cité proposait un plan Montagnes au ministère du Tourisme du Québec afin de marquer son engagement à contribuer à l’essor d’un secteur touristique durable. Ce plan, spécifique à la région touristique de Québec, vise à favoriser une offre de service sur 4 saisons et l’adoption de bonnes pratiques pour un tourisme durable […]

The Brodt laboratory engineered and developed a novel IGF-targeting molecule (the IGF-Trap) with otent anti-cancer effects. The objective of this project is to optimize the use of this potential drug in re-clinical cancer models and develop sensitive biomarkers for assessing and predicting its effect. In addition, the effect of this inhibitor on pancreatic cancer growth […]

The project will develop a revolutionary, conformable hydrogen storage tank solution for fuel cell electric vehicles. The specific objective of this research collaboration is to develop a hydrogen storage medium that is stable at ambient conditions, has a high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity and can be packed into a fuel tank for use in vehicles. […]

Sulphur dioxide is an important atmospheric pollutant that can negatively impact the surrounding environment through the processes of wet and dry deposition. Although wet deposition can be measured directly in the field, dry deposition must be estimated from air concentrations and modelled dry deposition velocity. The versatile “big-leaf” deposition model is frequently used to estimate […]

The goal of the project is to help the industrial partner with evaluating, customizing and adopting advanced software engineering and quality assurance methods based on the notion of software product line (SPL) engineering practices. The software system considered in this project is an electronic medical record (EMR) system that is used in hundreds of clinics […]

Canadian industries face challenges associated with the shortage of specialized professionals in healthcare, education, information technology, finance, engineering, and skilled trades. This shortage presents a threat to the prosperity and collective wellbeing in Canadian society and highlights the need for strategic workforce training and preparation through innovative partnerships and strategies. As a response to this […]

Social media websites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are widely used by the general public and also by businesses to promote their product and services. Due to the nature of these websites, marketed content by businesses does not always reach their desired target. This can be improved by providing useful information to the businesses, such as […]
