This project teams up the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) and Remote Digital Twin Inc. (RDT) to find a better way to spot sick trees in Canadian cities using satellite images and artificial intelligence (AI). Urban trees are under attack from pests, which hurts air quality and green spaces people love. Today’s methods […]

We propose to use AI to generate tuned antibodies that reduce side effects using GPT models fine-tuned from the AbilityGPT base language models created in the previous project. Starting with the AbilityGPT models based on several sizes, fine tune the models using sequences known to be active for selected targets. These may be selected from […]

La Ville de Pointe-Claire fait face à des défis croissants liés aux pluies extrêmes, qui causent des refoulements d’égouts, des inondations de surface et une hausse des réclamations citoyennes. Son réseau de drainage, conçu dans les années 1960, est désormais inadapté, d’autant plus que les changements climatiques accentuent la fréquence et l’intensité des précipitations. La […]

The proposed research aims to investigate and chemically characterize Canadian wild plant species. Natural products from plants are valuable to many industries and for promoting health and wellness. Certain plants that flourish under the conditions found in the Canadian prairies are likely to be rich in valuable chemical compounds. The research will be conducted by […]

Net Zero Atlantic is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 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. In service of this objective, Net Zero Atlantic leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic […]

Quelle approche structurée et quel outil centralisé peuvent être développés pour structurer et rassembler l’analyse des changements postapprobation, afin d’optimiser l’efficience du processus d’évaluation de leur impact réglementaire et d’assurer leur conformité à l’international dans une entreprise pharmaceutique globale ? Le projet permettra de structurer et de centraliser l’analyse des changements post-approbation afin d’assurer leur […]

The proposed research project will develop and validate a novel automated system that can continuously monitor for PTX (collapsed lungs). This system will integrate inexpensive, flexible, thin, and wearable ultrasonic sensors with machine learning. A hands-free and automated approach to assessing for PTX allows clinicians, or even personnel with less specialized training, to detect PTX […]

Infrastructure is facing significant environmental effects and climate change effects, compound by service conditions, which lead to rapid deterioration of bridges or marine structures for example. Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures is perhaps the main concern. Fiberglass reinforcing bars emerged as a promising alternative to steel bars and offer far better durability due […]

Carbon Exel’s mission is to defossilize the hard-to-decarbonize sectors by generating a low-carbon electro-diesel or e-diesel fuel. E-diesel is derived by transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) and green hydrogen (H2) into e-diesel powered by renewable electricity (hydro, wind, etc.). E-diesel releases 80% less CO2 emissions than traditional diesel, making it a viable option to reduce and […]

Ce projet de recherche est mené en partenariat avec Les Commissionnaires du Québec, une OSBL oeuvrant dans le domaine de la sécurité au Québec, et des chercheurs de Polytechnique Montréal. L’objectif du projet est de concevoir un prototype de système de recommandation pour supporter le processus d’appel d’offres, et à terme, d’améliorer la rentabilité des […]

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

Lululemon is a global leader in athletic apparel industry, focusing on high-quality, functional, and sustainable textiles. With a commitment to environmental responsibility, the partner is targeting 75% sustainable materials by 2025 and aims to source e.g. all cotton from sustainable sources. This joint project aligns with their sustainability mission by addressing two critical challenges: the […]
