In this project a driving simulator in virtual reality will be designed and developed, in which a user can drive a virtual vehicle in a country road with incoming cars and traffic lights and possibly some animals crossing the road. The users will learn the path to reach a destination through the trial and then […]

This project studies a community garden as a Living Lab to support the objectives of “empowered aging.” Empowered aging encompasses the mental, social, physical and spiritual dimensions of well-being so that people can live their best lives possible. This holistic approach to aging is commensurate with sustainability defined as the need to ensure a better […]

Le projet de cocréation artistique Monarques, au sein duquel s’insère ce projet de recherche, repose sur le besoin essentiel et urgent d’apporter un soutien aux vétérans, aux proches et aux membres des forces régulières ayant servi dans les forces canadiennes qui ont vécu ou qui vivent avec un état de stress post-traumatique, une blessure de […]

Research problem: Ensuring the SuccessFinder psychometric test is updated and has solutions to meet client needs for data-driven HR. In addition, refining the application of personality to person-job fit, team effectiveness and leadership. Significance: closing the research-practice gap, equipping HR with the most relevant people data to weather upcoming disruption and change in the job […]

En 2023, le Musée de la civilisation de Québec (MCQ) renouvelle son exposition permanente sur l’histoire du Québec pour en faire un attrait plus actuel, plus rassembleur et plus inclusif. Près de 18 ans après le lancement de la dernière exposition permanente, le premier défi du Musée est de récolter des données statistiques sur le […]

To address the challenge of increasing flight endurance for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a novel technique involving the exploitation of atmospheric energy, typically by soaring in thermal updrafts, is being developed. The AUTOSOAR algorithm developed in a previous Mitacs project permits the UAV to rely less on its onboard motor to maintain altitude, and reduce […]

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.
