Currently, elite athletes and their coaches rely on the subjective self-awareness and measurement of muscle force, heart rate, and the amount of blood lactic acid level to monitor body fitness and athletic performance. These methods, however, are not ideal and always reliable due to subjective errors, technological limitations and individual confounding factors that limit the […]

BC’s CleanBC Roadmap to 2030 has introduced new actions to address climate change and achieve a net-zero economy by 2050. Based on the current state of climate emergency, the development of effective and financially viable carbon removal projects is paramount. Biochar has a promising negative emissions technology that promotes atmospheric carbon capture and sequestration. The […]

La nécessité de réduire la consommation d’énergie pour le chauffage et la climatisation suscite un regain d’intérêt pour les matériaux géosourcés dans la construction des bâtiments modernes. Ces matériaux offrent de nombreux avantages en termes d’adaptation au changement climatique et de réduction des émissions de CO2 des matériaux de construction. La terre en tant que […]

The global demand for protein is increasing at a rapid pace. Certainly, the animal-based proteins alone will not be able to respond to the anticipated rise in demand. Among various sources, plant-based proteins have been identified as the most reliable option. However, they carry an undesirable taste or odor. The aim of this project is […]

De plus en plus de technologies existent pour capturer un modèle 3D d’une infrastructure existante : drones, robots, caméras spécialisées, etc. Toutefois, les données ainsi produites ne sont pas “intelligentes”, en ce sens qu’elles ne contiennent aucune information sur ce qu’elles représentent, pas plus que les pixels d’une image n’indiquent ce qu’ils représentent. Ce projet […]

Le contexte du projet se situe dans le domaine de l’interaction entre l’humain et les agents autonomes (humanautonomy teaming; HAT), plus particulièrement dans le cas d’usage touchant l’aérospatiale. Thales souhaite étudier les mécanismes pour que ces deux agents (humain et machine) puissent devenir coéquipiers formant un système cognitif conjoint (joint cognitive system). L’étude consiste à […]

The proposed research project will target the assessment of the environmental quality of Osisko lake and the implementation of a mitigation measure for lake restoration. The first master student will work on the evaluation of chemical pollution and the profiling the microbial community existing in the lake. The second master student will be in charge […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a critical energy storage device in various applications, such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and grid storage, due to their high energy density and good rate capabilities. Carbon-based materials have been widely used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, graphite is the most common anode material used […]

Traditional monitoring of fish community using gillnets is a well-established standard but comes with biases associated with selectivity of net sizes as well as significantly mortality of caught fish. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly becoming the new standard in fish and wildlife monitoring because it is less susceptible to biases, and it eliminates animal mortality. […]

Leach’s Storm-petrel are a small, wide-spread, pelagic seabird that have recently undergone population declines, they are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN and Threatened in Canada. Populations of Leach’s Storm-petrel on the Gaspé Peninsula are very small and known from just two locations. Île Bonaventure, a migratory bird sanctuary and part of the Parc National […]

Rooting in the present and aiming for the future, sustainability development has drawn more and more public attention lately. This proposed project focuses on embracing sustainability measures as the goal of managing hazardous material transportation. In more detail, we target the three pillars of sustainability, namely the economy, society, and environment, and incorporate them into […]
