Le projet de doctorat consiste à faire l’essai d’un certain type de lentilles électroniques spécialisées, appelées lentilles à focalisation forte, que sont les lentilles quadripolaires électrostatiques. Ces lentilles sont généralement utilisées dans des appareils analytiques comme les microscopes électroniques et les spectromètres de masse, entre autres., qui opèrent tous à de très basses pressions. L’élément […]

Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, also known as Virtual Assistants (VAs), combine the power of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to understand the intent of a user’s utterance, and to formulate a useful, human-like response. Operating a Virtual Assistant brings many complex challenges; this project strives to address these challenges through undertaking […]

Neuractas Therapeutics is a Canadian pharmaceutical company that is developing novel agents for neurological indications. Neuractas has developed neur-04 for epilepsy, this agent is a reformulation of an existing drug that has demonstrated strong clinical anticonvulsant activity in the most difficult-to-treat cases of epilepsy. Often people with epilepsy have to try several different medications before […]

We will build a prototype system that can be used to predict the outcome of treatments for congestive heart failure given a patient’s personal health record or electronic medical record. This will be based on building a relational probabilistic model that is based on standard medical ontologies, initially on expert knowledge, and can make predictions […]

L’industrie 4.0 désigne l’automatisation continue des pratiques de fabrication et industrielles traditionnelles, en utilisant une technologie intelligente moderne. La communication machine à machine à grande échelle (M2M) et l’Internet des objets (IoT) sont intégrés pour une automatisation accrue, une communication et une auto surveillance améliorées, et la production de machines intelligentes capables d’analyser et de […]

To reduce carbon footprints, the development of new materials with enhanced properties is of great importance. The construction industry, with a record of 9.95 Gt of CO2 production in 2019, is the 3rd largest sector contributing to climate change31. One way of reducing the amount of carbon in their manufacturing process is by adding materials […]

More than 80% of power outages in power grids are caused by faults in distribution networks. To improve the system’s reliability and resiliency, the service restoration is critical after faults. The Soft Open Point (SOP) is an emerging power electronic device, which can be connected to terminals of feeders or between networked microgrids, and can […]

Lower extremity wounds are painful wounds in the legs and feet that can result from immobility (e.g. secondary to Multiple Sclerosis, spinal cord injury), peripheral vascular disease and/or diabetes. They are slow to heal and cause immense pain and suffering. These wounds can cause infections, may lead to amputations, and in more severe cases, death. […]

The proposed research project aims at technology for environmentally benign recycling of nickel. The process entails conversion of nickel found in the “black mass” from recycled Ni-based batteries into nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4, by reaction with CO at modest temperatures around 50-120°C (pressuredependent). Only nickel carbonyl is volatile under these conditions and is easily separated from […]

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is an effective technology for the therapy of patients who suffer from physical impairment. To increase the effectiveness of FES and reduce the cost of hospitalization, a new design is required for the remote and long-term application of FES so that the patients can easily undergo FES during their daily life […]

In the last few years, pedestrian indoor navigation systems are widely used for various applications such as health care monitoring, Location Based Services (LBS) and emergency services. However, most of the indoor navigation systems are not mature, and could not provide continuous, accurate and reliable positioning solutions. GPS, MEMS sensors and Wi-Fi are three main […]

La recherche consiste à appliquer le protocole d’utilisation des tests de contamination des surfaces et de l’air par ATP-métrie, définie dans un précédent projet Mitacs. Elle consiste donc à appliquer ce protocole d’utilisation des tests de contamination d’air et de surface dans les locaux de l’École de Technologie Supérieure de Montréal. Trois étapes sont nécessaires […]
