La recherche éclaire trois défis auxquels sont confrontées les municipalités dans les projets d’aménagement de « Rues conviviales » (RC) qu’elles réalisent. Ces projets suscitent parfois des réticences au sein des services municipaux, lors de la conception et la gestion de ces nouveaux espaces. Des oppositions voire des conflits peuvent aussi émerger au sein des […]

Conventional von Neumann architectures rely heavily on communication between memory and compute elements, making them power hungry. In recent years, therefore, neuromorphic computing based on low-power compute-inmemory devices has been gaining interest. One of the essential aspects of such systems is the hardware modeling of synapses that are expected to store weights that represent the […]

Predicting policyholders’ claims over a year is crucial for a Property-Casualty insurance company. These expenditures, popularly called losses, are incurred by the insurer when reimbursing the policyholders’ claims. The insurance company is required to pay any legitimate claim made by a policyholder, in exchange the latter pays an amount of money, called the premium, to […]

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian men, and early and accurate diagnosis is critical for successful treatment. The proposed research aims to develop AI-powered tools to improve the accuracy of prostate cancer detection using ultrasound technology. In collaboration with Exact Imaging, we will develop AI tools that can analyze images from the […]

Increasing our knowledge of Canada’s lakes and rivers is essential to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems and to ensure human enjoyment of these waterbodies. This project will work with the local Indigenous community, Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, to better understand trends in nutrient levels along the Upper St. Lawrence River. Human activities, including agriculture, industry, and […]

The objectives of this research project are to deepen understanding of the cognitive underpinnings of engagement in games, especially in the context of multiplayer games. The research will be leveraged by our organization in future research projects and commercial productions.

The current nursing shortage in the home and community care (HCC) sector is cause for concern. The demand for home care services is greater than what organizations can provide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to high turnover rates. This study will explore the personal and professional resilience of RPNs working in the HCC sector […]

Research problem: Cheese has a unique food matrix that combines milk proteins, fat, lactose and calcium with a solid texture. However, the satiating properties of cheese are not well understood. Cheese is also used as an ingredient in various foods, including pizza; however, the contribution of cheese to the glycemic properties of such composite meals […]

Fiber photometry is a powerful method for detecting neural activity or neurotransmitter release in specific brain cells. Doric lenses Inc., in collaboration with Benoit Gosselin’s lab, designed a lightweight, wireless optical recording prototype, which allows fiber photometry recordings in freely behaving animals without the constraints of tether. This new technology provides an innovative tool for […]

There is a growing demand for accessible, affordable and high-quality houses in northern communities of Canada. The intern will study the foundation solutions used to support residential houses and commercial buildings in northern Canada. The intern will conduct interviews with many stakeholders on the foundation and house development and then develop a guide to the […]

Investiguer l’utilisation d’une méthode SPH pour la prédiction des crues à grande échelle à partir des données LiDAR. Les données LiDAR sont rendues disponible par le ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec. Plus spécifiquement : 1) générer des domaines de calcul compatible avec la méthode de calcul SPH Open Source […]

La colibacillose aviaire est un problème économique de l’industrie avicole à une échelle mondiale. A ce jour, les traitements les plus employées contre cette maladie sont les antibiotiques. Cependant, une utilisation excessive et inappropriée des antibiotiques chez les animaux et les humains contribuent à l’émergence et/ou au renforcement de souches bactériennes résistantes aux antibiotiques. Cette […]
