This project will analyse Canada’s official multiculturalism policy and its impact on the National Arts Centre’s English language theatre program. The National Arts Centre Archival holdings will be utilized for research to assess the diversity of persons from ethnic minorities and Indigenous groups as actors, directors, and authors of the plays that have been performed […]

Multiomics studies of the human microbiome have an enormous potential for understanding the mechanism of biological processes involving the microbial community and the metabolites produced by gut microbiota. We will apply a multiomics strategy to clinical fecal samples using a novel collection device to stabilize fecal metabolites at room temperature, thereby making the standard practise […]

This project aims to develop a solution for the predictive maintenance of UAVs which will mitigate the burden and risks associated with the traditional reactive and preventive maintenance. By identifying the critical data related to the failures and monitoring/modeling the behaviors of the components based on data/signals during and after the flight, this research will […]

The design optimization process of photonic and optoelectronic devices can be time consuming. The modeling of these electrically-long devices is time-intensive. Accurate time-domain and frequency-domain simulation tools such as the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the finite element method (FEM) are usually utilized to model these devices. These methods require fine meshing to […]

This project will develop computer vision based tools for application to the see through sensor, a new sensor developed at SAIC Montreal, which has the unique capability of acquiring both tactile (touch) and visual information, while in interaction with objects. These tools will allow for new sensing capabilities to be deployed including contact categorization, slip […]

GelEntroCeutics have developed an intrinsically acid-resistant formulation of gelatin that was used to make fish oil softgels which are acid-resistant per se and do not need to go through the coating process. This achievement is a major advantage over the usual coating of fish oil capsules with gastric acid-resistant layers that is susceptible to deformation […]

L’objectif de la recherche est de quantifier l’importance économique de la filière cycle, comprise dans son sens large (d’où le néologisme de « véloconomie »). Le Québec dispose de précieux atouts en la matière sur son territoire avec une demi-douzaine de fabricants de vélos et la plus importante véloroute en Amérique du Nord. Cette tendance […]

The crisis in university student mental health has intensified with COVID-19. Support for students with mental health and illness experiences and identities is now more important than ever. Prior to the pandemic students were taking matters into their own hands and working together to advocate for improved learning environments and educational experiences. This project will […]

Rare cannabinoids are currently gaining popularity for their potential uses in pharmaceuticals, therapeutics and cosmetics. Traditional cannabis companies are currently unable to produce these compounds and the demand is expected to increase significantly in the future. This highlights the need for new, innovative solutions to solve this problem. Using synthetic biology, the intern will develop […]

Anastomotic Leakage is a common complication that can occur shortly after surgery and lead to increased mortality rates if it is detected too late. The current method of detection relies on monitoring clinical symptoms and visual inspection of the surgical drain fluid, but this process is often delayed and reactive. NERv Technology Inc. is dedicated […]

Use of clear-text for network communication is quickly becoming obsolete. End-to-end encryption of mobile applications and proliferation of TLS based encrypted traffic are fueling the growth of encrypted traffic on the Internet. Many applications tunnel traffic over HTTPS. Today, over 80% of Internet traffic is encrypted. With the recent advancement of TLS handshake, traditional mechanisms […]

The increasing concentration of CO2 has caused various adverse environmental effects on the Earth’s oceans, land, and atmosphere, leading to a worldwide consensus on the necessity of action and commitment to emission reduction. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which involves capturing CO2 resulting from industrial processes for storage in underground geological formations, has proven to […]
