Le contrôle du bruit en basses fréquences est un enjeu important dans divers secteurs comme ceux de l’habitation, de l’environnement urbain et des transports. En général, pour atténuer le bruit basses fréquences, les matériaux acoustiques traditionnels doivent être plus épais à mesure que la fréquence diminue. Néanmoins, l’espace réservé pour ces matériaux est généralement limité […]

Counterproductive Work Behaviours (CWB) are negative behaviours in the workplace that could hinder productivity and organizational effectiveness. Example behaviours are CWB violence, harassment, stealing or even drug consumption on the job. CWB cost organizations millions of dollars every year and therefore their prevention is a major priority for managers. Despite its importance, there has not […]

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic alloys which can undergo deformation and return to their original form when heated above their characteristic transformation temperature. Due to their unique properties, SMAs have found use in the aerospace, robotics, biomedical, and automotive industries, among others. Traditional SMAs are limited to one distinct transformation temperature per individual component, […]

Entrepreneurship is the embodiment of innovation and its presence is a significant indicator of the power of an economy. Engineering is an essential sector for production of high technology products, services, and jobs, and is often at the forefront of innovation. This research aims to strengthen the current understanding of entrepreneurial success of engineers in […]

Our proposed research investigates how K-12 teachers learn and customize digital classroom tools and learning management systems and how they share this information with each other. In particular, we will be working with our partner Microsoft to investigate the use and customization of the recently developed OneNote Class Notebooks software that is increasingly being used […]

D-Pace, Inc. supplies high-quality precision equipment and services to the particle accelerator industry. D-Pace has identified a market for positively-charged helium ion sources. Cyclotrons require positive helium ions to generate radioisotopes as such as Astatine-211 for radioimmunotherapy, and Sn-117m for imaging and therapy. Complex and costly Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources are currently used […]

Diamond-bearing kimberlites are enigmatic deposits due to their complex volcanic plumbing systems and variable preservation. Although geophysical methods are well established and effective exploration techniques, they require independent and costly constraints (e.g., drilling) to limit the number of plausible targets. There is thus a clear need to enhance interpretation of geophysical data to optimize target […]

The project is to break down shoppers into different groups. Shoppers have different preferences, for instance some shoppers tend to buy online in the morning, some might prefer purchasing online at night. If one could group together shoppers based on their different shopping behaviours, one would then be able to come up with personalized sales […]

The main purpose of the internship is to research and create a product that can be used by insurance companies to streamline their claim processing pipeline. The task is to take images and text provided in an insurance claim and generate a prediction for the cost to repair the damage that is closer to the […]

Historiquement, la science actuarielle a développé des techniques de modélisation appropriées pour la tarification, le provisionnement et la gestion des risques pour ne nommer que quelques domaines. Depuis quelques années, toutefois, de nouvelles techniques potentiellement prometteuses sont disponibles et commencent à émerger dans l’industrie de l’assurance. Portées par l’engouement de certaines communautés scientifiques, l’apprentissage statistique […]
