The purpose of this research project is to explore the feasibility of developing a software as a service (SAAS) to facilitate the process of managing risk in the development of public infrastructure projects.

Canada depends on seasonal snowfalls for much of its freshwater supply, and climate change is expected to have a major impact on the quantity, and quality, of available freshwater. However, the models that scientists use to make future projections of water availability are not perfect, which creates uncertainty in the exact future scenario that will […]

The objective is to develop models that can identify types and frequency of process inefficiencies that may eventually result in the decline of production at the mills below a certain threshold level. The outcome of this project is an early detection of process inefficiencies that will enable the operation team to predict production outcomes ahead […]

Online marketing is a popular type of advertising, which utilizes the Internet to deliver advertising information to consumers in the digital era. Despite the advantages of online marketing, there is still much room for efficiency improvement. The major problem with existing online marketing is that there tend to be a mismatch between what are delivered […]

Ce projet traite le défi de simulation collaborative d’un modèle de réseau électrique qui comporte plusieurs composants hétérogènes, tels que les RÉD (Ressources Énergétiques Décentralisées), les VÉ (Véhicules Électriques) et les automatismes numérisés selon le standard CEI 61850. Puisque l’intégration de ces éléments complexifie le modèle simulé de réseau électrique, l’idée est de les intégrer […]

The goal of the broader Alliance submission is to develop a technology platform to test and benchmark best practices, policy recommendations, and regulations for the safe and reliable operation of automated UAVs during ground-based BVLOS (Beyond the visual line of sight) missions in urban areas, using 5G networks, a first in Canada. The Mitacs internships […]

Our project is centred on identifying the needs of the performing arts sector, in terms of producing, and understanding what form of producing supports these needs and what solution can we develop to solve this problem. Our hypothesis for this project is that there is a major gap in the Canadian performing arts industries with […]

Malgré les efforts consentis par l’industrie agroalimentaire, le contrôle de la qualité et de la salubrité des aliments demeure un enjeu incontournable pour garder sa place dans le marché et protéger la santé des consommateurs. Pour cela, les entreprises doivent contribuer aux efforts de recherche et d’appliquer des bonnes pratiques industrielles afin de répondre aux […]

This project provides key elements that would help create a transactive energy framework testbed. The testbed is expected to be used for analyzing different market and business models which facilitate increased participation of the end-users, improved efficiency in the grid and optimal usage and distribution of the energy present in the urban neighbourhoods. The work […]

This research project aims at improving the recovery of precious metals from fine-grained resources using ultra-fine grinding process. The project involves testing three different ore samples to quantify the benefits of HIGmill grinding on mineral recovery. A comprehensive HIGmill model for optimization purpose will be developed based on bench-scale tests. The developed HIGmill model could […]

L’ataxie de Friedreich (AF) est une maladie génétique qui se traduit par des troubles moteurs importants. La progression de la maladie cause chez les patients des difficultés à coordonner leurs mouvements en raison de la mort prématurée des cellules nerveuses qui contrôlent l’équilibre et la coordination. Le principal outil pour quantifier l’atteinte neurologique comporte plusieurs […]

Le projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le contexte précis du besoin d’Hydro-Québec de mieux estimer la probabilité de manifestation de vents de forces dites extrêmes et potentiellement dommageables pour le réseau d’infrastructures électriques. Il aura pour objectif de développer des modèles statistiques permettant de corriger les biais dans les prévisions de vents afin de mieux […]
