Le stage proposé s’inscrit dans la foulée d’une recherche plus large menée par Karine Hébert (histoire, UQAR), avec la collaboration de Jean-René Thuot (histoire, UQAR), et Guillaume Marsan de Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ) au sujet du fonds d’archives déposé récemment par la Congrégation des sœurs du Saint-Rosaire (RSR) à l’antenne bas-laurentienne de […]

Les modèles d’apprentissage profonds ont révolutionné la vision par ordinateur. Cependant, ils requièrent une forte quantité de données annotées avec précision afin de pouvoir convenablement « apprendre » à résoudre une tâche donnée. En particulier, la segmentation sémantique, consistant à prédire la classe sémantique de chacun des pixels présents dans une image, est une tâche […]

Ce projet vise à comprendre l’impact du comportement hydraulique du réseau de distribution sur l’optimisation de la surveillance routinière de la qualité de l’eau. La modélisation hydraulique est fondamentale pour comprendre le mouvement de l’eau dans les conduites et la façon dont la qualité de l’eau se dégrade tout long la ville. Ce projet montrera […]

Being physically active is associated with many health benefits. To help guide people on how much activity they need for optimal health, the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology developed new Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for all age groups. Specifically, this work will look at assessment, awareness, and uptake of the new guidelines as it relates […]

With the abundance of data in the current era of the industrial revolution, it would be essential to have software with offline data security features to perform data-based analysis of equipment life by identifying the factors affecting equipment failure, which leads to the loss of production. Therefore, this project aims to develop software that can […]

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Due to its vast usability in different industries, such as gaming, real estate, and art, many professionals believe it will be the future of trading. However, like any other new technology, it has issues […]

Empathy is important to therapeutic relationships and patient-centred care where patients’ preferences and needs are met. We have developed a web browser app called In Your Shoes (IYS) that runs on any browser and has potential to provide empathy training experiences in any situation requiring perceptual understanding of what others are thinking and feeling. The […]

Chromatography is the workhorse in biologics manufacturing processes, where its performance significantly contributes to the quality outcomes of the batch, and therefore must be carefully controlled. Process modeling and simulation is the best way to provide control to the process. This proposal aims to develop a hybrid chromatography modeling approach, utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning method, […]

Accessibility and availability are major factors of an effective health care system. Though Canadians have free access to medically necessary services, there are accessibility issues at primary care clinics such as long wait times, language barriers for new immigrants, lack of proper information about clinics and doctors, and so on. Waiting for a primary healthcare […]

The aim of this project is to develop an application that can proactively protect users from identity theft and create awareness around safe digital practices. For this, we will be developing novel ways of extracting utility out of data and helping users to maintain a least-risk profile score. Most of the computations will be done […]

This research aims at investigating the structural performance of engineered bamboo composites (EBCs), namely Dragonwood, to replace traditional Canadian and tropical hardwoods used in jacking applications. Key mechanical properties and failure modes will be documented. The durability and flammability of all three materials will also be evaluated. Despite the obvious environmental advantages of EBCs (e.g., […]

The proposed research will help develop wall paneling that can change colour at the push of a button. We will improve the energy efficiency of the paneling by focusing on the ion conducting electrolyte layer that facilitates the colour change. Specifically, we will separate the electrolyte layer from one into three distinct layers. One layer […]
