La conception et le développement des plateformes drone hydrographique de surface à faible coûts sont pleinement insérés dans les efforts déployés par la communauté Hydrospatiale pour la génération d’un jumeau numérique des océans et des zones côtières. Une telle plateforme se veut versatile. Ainsi, différents professionnels pourront bénéficier d’une telle plateforme pour les levés en […]

The goal of this project is to improve Business Intelligence solutions to stay competitive in the market. We aim to take the learning efforts off the user’s shoulder using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. We will develop AI technologies to help users answer questions that can be expressed in natural language and use existing data […]

Universities can be leaders in sustainability by building food sovereign campuses and communities. Instead, universities across Canada are contributing to unsustainable and unjust food practices by hiring multinational corporations (Aramark, Sodexo, Chartwells-Compass) that externalize social and environmental costs. The intern will continue the research from their Ph.D. dissertation about building food sovereign campuses and work […]

There are 768,000 new cases of liver cancer and 730,000 deaths worldwide every year. Only 15% of the cases are operable, and the median survival is generally

Organizations are trying to manage their waste streams using circular economy principles to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Without proper assessment, organizations that follow a standard waste hierarchy often lack proper awareness and understanding about the amount of GHG emissions individual options actually reduce. They can use sophisticated (and systems thinking) approaches such as life […]

Canadian ocean and freshwater systems currently undergo rapidly changing disturbances that threaten high-value aquatic species such as shrimps and fishes, even in Marine Protected Areas. Whilst biologists gathered a large amount of knowledge (and data) about the responses of aquatic animals in such disturbed environments, our current understanding is often limited to individual single-layer levels […]

Pour accélérer la transition énergétique et lutter contre les changements climatiques, le gouvernement du Québec dispose de plusieurs programmes d’incitatifs financiers et de conseils pratiques (Rénoclimat, Chauffez vert, Éconologis et Novoclimat) pour accompagner les ménages et entreprises dans les travaux résidentiels écoénergétiques. Cependant, les obstacles liés à la pluralité, aux critères d’admissibilité spécifiques et complexes, […]

Immersive technologies create unique experiences by merging the real physical world to a virtual simulated reality. This technology has revolutionized the way in which organizations and many services are implemented. Recently, XR experiences have gained popularity because they can be universally displayed in any type of mobile device and do not require a headset. The […]

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 […]
