Le concept de productivité est un concept relativement simple à comprendre dans un contexte industriel c.-à-d. le nombre d’unités produites par employé. Dans un contexte touristique (tourisme, hôtellerie, restauration, attrait), la notion de productivité et de sa mesure est plus difficile à faire compte tenu de l’aspect intangible, de cocréation avec les visiteurs des expériences […]

Autonomous vehicles operating at Level 4 autonomy require a comprehensive understanding of their current driving situation and context. While current systems rely mainly on perceptual information such as video, lidar, and radar, they often lack the necessary understanding of the vehicle’s concrete situation. To address this gap, this research project aims to develop a foundational […]

Thermal fatigue is a problem that can happen when making metal products using a certain tool. The tool gets extremely hot when the metal is poured in, and then it cools down quickly when the metal hardens. This can happen over and over again, and it can make the tool break or not work as […]

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a complicated electrotherapeutic medical procedure which provides irreplaceable therapies and treatments for several nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. Advancements in the electrodes designs will improve the delivered therapy and enhance the efficacy of the DBS system. The objective of this project is to begin preliminary designs for deep […]

A modular quantum computer is a system that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to store and process information. Although quantum computers have the potential to offer significantly greater computational power than classical computers, their development is complicated by a lack of scalabil-ity. To address this issue, small quantum processors or modules are employed, which […]

To restore a damaged ecosystem, one of the first steps is to remove alien invasive plants. These plants come from elsewhere in the world and can deeply alter the native plant community in their new environments. These changes can in turn affect insect pollinators, like bees, who depend on plants for food. In naturalized or […]

This project aims to investigate the benefits of using linguistic cues for extracting speech-ofinterest from competing background noise. Given an algorithm which detects formants of a speaker of interest within an audio signal which includes background noise, and given that the limits of such an approach are reached when formants of the speaker of interest […]

The Government of Canada considers lithium as a critical element because it is a major component of rechargable batteries in, for example, electric vehicles, but it is also used in lubricants, ceramics, and glasses. The Tanco mine in Manitoba supplies approximately 5% of the world’s lithium, but little is known about the distribution of lithium […]

Le projet de recherche vise à caractériser les performances de vêtements de protection normalisés contre les pesticides pour les producteurs agricoles. L’efficacité de protection sera mesurée en conditions réelles d’utilisation auprès de producteurs de pommes québécois. Les performances mesurées devront mener à des niveaux d’exposition acceptables, selon les critères de l’agence règlementaire de lutte antiparasitaire. […]

Finliti is planning to use AI to improve their business operations. Some areas they are looking into involve using AI to sort clients into the most appropriate persona which will reflect their investing preferences, and assessing the future performance of a proposed portfolio while accounting for a client’s persona and financial goals. AI is intended […]

The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) is a global collaboration of financial institutions that aims to develop and promote a standard methodology for measuring and disclosing greenhouse gas emissions associated with their lending and investment portfolios. Although the financial sector gradually accepts this standard, practitioners still face several implementation challenges. In this project, we […]

Nipîy (Water Song), is Phase 2 of a longitudinal project with the Canadian Chamber Choir (CCC) and Sherryl Sewepagaham (Cree/Dene). In Phase 1 (Where Waters Meet, Windsor and London, Ontario), the CCC and Sherryl explored Indigenization of music education and decolonization of choral practice in workshops and concerts in university and community settings, both Indigenous […]
