Bumble bees are threatened worldwide, and among several impacts to their populations are pathogens which impact colony health and success. This is a concern for captive breeding programs aimed at enhancing populations with pathogen-free colonies. In this research we partner with Wildlife Preservation Canada who maintain breeding programs and use a novel method for detecting […]

Delayed coking is an integral process in upgrading heavy, unusable crude oil to lighter, usable products such as gasoline. Coke drums are insulated, vertically oriented cylindrical pressure vessels that facilitate such a process. Due to the process of delayed coking, these drums are subjected to cyclic thermal-mechanical loading and episodes of thermal shock. One of […]

This project aims to develop a standard that relates the loss of functionality in the porous transport layers (PTL) due to the presence of defects to the performance of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell. This work attempts to screen defects in the PTL using previously developed testing protocols. Currently there are no existing protocols […]

La région du Nunavik, situé au nord du Québec, abrite écosystèmes côtiers d’une importance écologique et culturelle considérable, mais demeure largement non cartographiée. Le défi principal réside dans la complexité et les coûts élevés associés à la cartographie précises de ces régions isolées et difficile d’accès. Néanmoins, les progrès réalisés dans l’observation de la Terre […]

Decentralized P2P energy trading using blockchain technology has been the top research and development subject around the globe during past years, especially in the presence of large-scale integrated RESs. The blockchain-based applications could facilitate the energy transition and paradigm shift in energy and pave the way for reaching future net-zero smart energy systems. The main […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de dresser un panorama des partenariats public privé en sécurité (PPPS) au Québec. Alors que la gouvernance partenariale en sécurité se profile comme un moyen de plus en plus privilégié pour produire, distribuer et contrôler la sécurité dans nos sociétés contemporaines, peu d’études empiriques ont cherché à en évaluer le […]

Les objectifs spécifiques du stage sont d’utiliser une version numérique de la pince du robot, des objets à saisir et de leur environnement dans un simulateur et de développer un modèle d’intelligence artificielle permettant de déterminer le positionnement et la manière d’agripper les objets. Le projet proposé par le stagiaire vise à développer de tels […]
