Ce projet de recherche vise à comprendre comment les bourses d’honneur, offertes par Entreprendre ICI, aident les entrepreneurs immigrants au Québec. En analysant les expériences des bénéficiaires de ces bourses, nous voulons savoir comment ce soutien financier influence la croissance de leurs entreprises et contribue à la création d’emplois. Le stagiaire mènera des enquêtes et […]

Ce projet propose d’étudier les usages appropriés des écrans en classe à l’intention des enseignants qui doivent composer avec une présence de plus en plus importante des écrans à usage individuel. Il est développé en parallèle avec autre projet de recherche portant sur les répercussions des usages de l’écran à la maison que nous menons […]

Les infrastructures souterraines sont essentielles pour les services publics. Toutefois, en 2022, le Canada a enregistré une moyenne de 42,4 bris d’infrastructures souterraines causés par des tiers par jour de travail, posant des risques pour la sécurité et générant des coûts importants. Les coûts directs de réparation sont identifiables, mais les impacts sociaux et environnementaux […]

Seasonal and environmental allergies are estimated to affect approximately 15% of the population in North America, leading to more than 3 million missed workdays per year with annual costs exceeding 8 billion dollars. Allergy symptoms from pollen or dust mites include sneezing, nasal congestion, and watery eyes, but in severe cases, asthma attacks may be […]

This project focuses on improving the component quality after Laser Beam Machining (LBM) for HS188 (AMS5608), a superalloy critical in aerospace and power generation due to its high strength and corrosion resistance. LBM often leaves a recast layer, a residue of resolidified molten material on the side edges, which weakens the material’s strength and corrosion […]

In this project, the intern will investigate mathematical models for sources of photons (the fundamental particles of light) with quantum properties that are suitable for implementation in computer software for the simulation and analysis of quantum information systems. These models are important for the design of realistic systems for quantum information processing and include the […]

The Blue Card was designed to minimize the risk of multiple concussions and encourage a safe return to competition. The Blue Card requires the collaboration of multiple participant groups. However, poor relationships between participant groups can impact the initiative’s success. Concussion training interventions must consider the complex dynamics within sports to facilitate collaboration among participant […]

Net Zero Atlantic (NZA) is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. To do so, NZA leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic Canada’s transition to net zero […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project proposal aims to tackle a significant challenge in fintech: extracting human-readable descriptions from tabular financial data. Interpreting vast amounts of structured data in the dynamic financial technology landscape is crucial for informed decision-making and compliance reporting. The project seeks to develop a robust system by leveraging open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored to […]

Refugees face multifaceted health needs, due to fleeing home, living in a refugee camp, and limited access to healthcare. Research underscores the need for comprehensive healthcare for refugees to foster long-term positive outcomes. Therefore, in 2021, the New Canadians Health Centre (NCHC) was established as a principles-based community health centre, with a mandate to provide […]

Check fraud continues to be a substantial challenge in the financial sector, involving the unauthorized use of checks for illegal fund acquisition. To address the issue of fraud detection, specific Artificial Intelligence models, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have been increasingly applied to classify checks as fraudulent or legitimate. However, there is a crucial aspect […]
