Tensor networks are a quantum inspired technique that provide useful mechanisms for solving hard problems, usually in the realm of quantum mechanics and many-body systems, through the manipulation and operation of tensors. The main challenge underlying this project is the productionalization of a quantum-inspired deep learning algorithm which currently exists as a proof of concept […]

Watersheds in the coastal regions of British Columbia are comprised of rugged mountains and high storm runoff, rendering streams prone to increases in snowmelt during rain-on-snow (ROS) events due to forest harvesting. Importantly, both forest harvesting operations and ROS events are widespread in the transitional snow zones of Vancouver Island, BC. Correspondingly, they routinely experience […]

Dans le contexte communicationnel et technologique actuel, les enfants se retrouvent face à une prolifération d’informations et de contenus. Cette dynamique ouvre grande la porte un phénomène de désinformation poussé, tout particulièrement, par la communication numérique. Or, le numérique est aussi porteur d’opportunités de contre-information et les enfants ont la capacité de se montrer critiques […]

Over the last five years, it has become possible to estimate the capacity of existing, sometimes damaged, utilities and other infrastructure systems to support the local population in war zones. This estimation currently relies on satellite data to provide a basic map of what infrastructure is where. However, it is often difficult o get access […]

This project, sponsored by Safran Landing Systems Canada (SafranLS), involves the development of engineering techniques that enable rapid conceptual design of aircraft landing gear. The goal is to speed the early design of new landing gear to enable SafranLS to produce more, faster bids to manufacture landing gear for new aircraft at their two Canadian […]

Solarvest has developed a cutting-edge technology that enables algae to produce hydrogen in a continuous cycle in a single vessel. The hydrogen is released along with carbon dioxide and water, and intermittently the algae needs to be permitted to carry out photosynthesis, which generates oxygen. This project entails the construction, installation and testing of a […]

Making future projections about quantities of interest is a key component of decision-making, which has broad applications. For instance, in healthcare, one may be interested in monitoring the severity level of a disease given a treatment plan, while carefully accounting for potential sources of uncertainty. Alternatively, one may be interested in predicting the occupancy level […]

Eight out of 10 people use the web to find health information, so online health information for the public must be reliable and trustworthy. The“Infodemic” of misinformation (which includes disinformation), is a term coined by the World Health Organization to show the magnitude of the problem and its ‘contagion’, that makes it difficult for the […]

In this project, we would like to develop an enhanced Multi-User Extended Reality Ground Control Station (MXR-GCS) to control an aerial vehicle using a virtual/actual controller defined within the virtual environment. Such an advanced portable MXR-GCS system is important to lower pilot workload and increase situational awareness. In the first place, a virtual ground control […]

La mouche du bleuet (Rhagoletis mendax) est un ravageur d’importance dans le bleuet nain, car les fruits infestés par des larves de mouche sont invendables. La mouche du bleuet étant une menace préoccupante pour l’industrie du bleuet nain au Lac-St-Jean, notre équipe de recherche vise à développer les connaissances liées à sa biologie et son […]

Merinio propose une solution de gestion des remplacements qui permet à l’employeur de construire des horaires pour une certaine demande en quarts de travail, puis de communiquer directement avec les employés pour leur proposer des opportunités de remplacements. Les employés peuvent aussi prévenir leur employeur de leurs absences et accepter une des propositions de remplacements […]

The goal of this project is to demonstrate the adequacy of mild thermal processes (Fo ~1 min) for meeting the requirements for commercial sterility of foie gras in cans or jars. It was previously demonstrated that the sensitivity of thermal destruction of microbial spores increases with an increase in FFA concentration. The proposed project will […]
