L’objectif principal du stage est d’augmenter la pertinence des recommandations aux utilisateurs en ajoutant la fonctionnalité de pouvoir filtrer selon les informations géographiques d’un document. Pour ce faire, des modèles prédisant le lieu géographique ainsi que l’aire d’intérêt seront étudiés et les meilleurs seront développés. Des modèles de traitement de la langue naturelle, notamment de […]

L’objectif de ce projet est d’identifier les facteurs de développement socio-économiques ou technologiques à mobiliser pour favoriser l’émergence d’une nouvelle filière de valorisation du saule. À ce jour, le projet a permis d’étudier la double fonctionnalité du saule comme un outil phytotechnologique et comme source de biomasse. Les premiers résultats issus des analyses de cycle […]

The research project aims at using artificial intelligence (AI) during the product design process. At the moment, computer-aided design (CAD) software are the primary central tools used by engineers to ease the product design process that can be quite difficult and long. However, the use of AI could further decrease the burden by automating parts […]

Quantum computers offer superior advantages compared to classical computers. Technological and theoretical developments have spurred lots of research to enable fully functioning prototypes for quantum computers. One of the main challenges in this direction is building a fault-tolerant quantum computer. In this project, we aim to analyze and design a new method for providing better […]

Imaging brain activity patterns across different brain regions is important for understanding both how the brain works, and how it malfunctions in disease. Recently, development of new optical imaging techniques have allowed imaging such patterns during behaviours and in models of disease. However, one problem with these imaging techniques is that blood adsorbs light, which […]

Archives can be powerful tools for decision-making, and reconnecting with one’s heritage, community, and history. However, archives also have a long history of reinforcing harmful stereotypes of Indigenous peoples through the inappropriate and inaccurate labeling, classification, and arrangement of materials. Alternatively, community archives (i.e., archives controlled, developed, and managed by a community, instead of a […]

The intern will work with Kwusen Research & Media, a consulting company based in Victoria, B.C., to conduct an assessment of Kwusen’s research approaches and software. Kwusen works closely with Indigenous communities across western Canada to provide up-to-date and accurate information about their lands and resources, as well as any potential impacts to these resources […]

The overall objective of this project is to develop a medical device that stimulates the vagus nerve in order to modulate the heart in a pre-determined fashion (e.g., strategically speeding it up or slowing it down) without also triggering side effects in other body systems (such as respiration). The interns will be working in partnership […]

When experiencing mental health crisis, many people rely on emergency services such as 9-1-1 dispatchers, paramedic services, police services and hospital emergency department services. Emergency response to mental health calls has recently gained significantly greater attention, recognizing that these interactions may have substantial, potentially life and death consequences for those already in distress, particularly for […]

Le projet vise a moderniser et ameliorer les outils numeriques utilises par Hydro-Quebec pour prevoir la demande en electricite au Quebec et mettre en ceuvre des strategies d’autocorrection. Les developpements attendus permettront d’augmenter la capacite de maintenance et d’amelioration de ces outils par Hydro-Quebec, et de les rendre plus efficaces. Hydro-Quebec sera ainsi plus à […]

En se déplaçant, les animaux, et autres organismes vivants, laissent des traces de leur matériel génétique dans l’environnement. Cette précieuse information est l’ADN environnemental (ADNe) et son analyse permet de détecter indirectement la présence d’une espèce et d’estimer son abondance relative dans un milieu. Ce matériel génétique peut se retrouver sous forme de cellules mortes […]

Small nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a major option for electricity production in remote areas. Environmental impact assessment and monitoring will be needed, however this might be difficult because of the remoteness and the anticipated low levels of radiocontaminants, especially that laboratories with modern instrumentation might not be available on-site. We are proposing (1) to adapt […]
