The project is a partnership between Polytechnique Montréal, HEC Montréal, UQAM and JDA Canada. JDA Labs is investigating new approaches to help incorporate “big data” science and analytics into everyday supply chain decisions. It relies on new approaches that employ sensor technologies, new analytic capabilities and simulation techniques to not just sense and respond, but […]

Terrestrial Energy is a Canadian company developing a molten salt reactor (MSR), which is a new type of nuclear reactor with several advantages such as reduced nuclear waste production, inherent safety, and the possibility of using thorium fuel. One of the main challenges with MSRs is corrosion of structural materials that are exposed to molten […]

The objectives of this research project revolve around the emerging world of municipal climate change policy, planning and implementation in an Ontario context. Specifically, this project will: 1. Assess and compare innovative policies and procedures that are being used by Ontario municipalities to integrate growth planning with climate and energy planning. 2. Assess the factors […]

Several studies have shown that water levels of the Great Lakes would inevitably decline in a warmer climate. These studies were based on a modeling system that was not accounting for two-way exchanges of water and energy between the atmosphere and the earth surface, hence excluding key feedback mechanisms. The general objective of this project […]

Les organisations de haut savoir font face à un défi d’envergure : le départ à la retraite dans un futur proche d’un nombre important de cadres dirigeants et experts dont elles dépendent grandement. Ce projet de recherche a pour but de mettre en lumière les principaux enjeux liés au transfert des connaissances et de munir […]

La fabrication additive par soudage ultrasons combine la soudure par ultrasons de métaux et l’usinage de ces derniers à l’intérieur du même appareil. Cette méthode de mise en oeuvre est principalement présente dans les domaines de l’aéronautique, de l’aérospatiale, de l’automobile et de l’électronique. Il s’agit d’un type de soudure dit « à froid » […]

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are land based fish farms that recycle the water from the fish tanks using multiple water treatment processes. Fish produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, through respiration, that needs to be removed during the water treatment process since high levels of carbon dioxide are hazardous to fish. Currently the most common […]

Rapid growth of renewable energy generation and DC loads as electric vehicles and consumer electronics results in the proliferation of DC microgrids. DC microgrids are small electrical grids where energy sources and loads are connected to a main energy distribution power line using power converters. A particular example of the use of DC microgrids can […]

Le Québec, tout autant que le Canada, s’est engagé sur le plan de la lutte contre les changements climatiques par la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES), et ce par un effort de réaliser des achats plus responsables. Ce projet s’inscrit dans cette volonté de changement et vise tout particulièrement la […]

Afin d’améliorer son impact environnemental, nos partenaires souhaite remplacer une partie de ces produits d’origines pétrolières par un matériel innovant issus du produit de la recherche de l’UQTR. Ce produit, la bio-huile pyrolytique, est obtenue par pyrolyse de résidus forestiers de la forêt de La tuque. C’est-à-dire par combustion en absence d’oxygène. Le produit formé […]

The Project contributes to the development of a field-ready and commercially useful long-range cargo unmanned aerial vehicle, including analyses of flight envelope and performance characteristics.
