As the power processing density in new technologies such as 5G and 6G increases, reduction of ripples caused by switching power converter operation becomes a gradually more difficult design problem to solve. Analysis of these ripples and exploring various methods for the ripple reduction in the RF power amplifier circuits are the main topics for […]

We propose a new approach to coordinate the energy consumption of the rooftop unit (RTU) heating, cooling, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of commercial buildings within an aggregation, e.g., building or units of a shopping center. Our approach uses a new specialized solver for neural network-constrained integer programs to optimize the energy consumption while […]

Cancer incidence rates in Canada are increasing steadily every year which puts a strain on the treatment system. In Quebec, the waiting time to start treatment of cancer patients is enforced by law, however, it is difficult to meet with limited resources and personnel. Efficient planning is hence vital in reducing the long waiting time […]

One of the most critical components of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks is the accurate detection of a nerve within an ultrasound image. Trying to classify the various types of tissue in a noisy, greyscale ultrasound feed is a very daunting task. Therefore, a software solution would help doctors to perform the procedure in a precise and […]

La Covid-19 a été déclarée pandémie par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé le 11 mars 2020, résultant d’abord en un confinement général de la province du Québec de mars à mai 2020, et depuis à des mesures sanitaires restrictives dans le but de diminuer la propagation du virus. Ce projet de recherche porte sur l’adaptation […]

An existing Forex currency trading system has demonstrated a proof of concept on a static data set. The current project proposes to implement the trading system for real-time applications taking advantage of available geospatial information which can influence currency markets. The novel methodology will be based on building a high-dimensional weighted autocorrelation model between real-time […]

With mounting pressure coming from regulators and other bodies worldwide, the financial services industry (banks, insurers, and reinsurers) will soon need to disclose and stress test their solvency and profitability to various climate scenarios. The work from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) thus provides guidance as to how it should be accomplished. […]

There has been recent scientific and public interest in the development of plant- based proteins as alternate sources to animal protein. With the popularity of vegetarianism and veganism, the demand for plant-based products has significantly increased. Meat being rich in proteins not only makes it nutritionally rich, but also significantly contributes to its texture and […]

The Bike Brigade serves vulnerable communities by signing up volunteer cyclists to deliver food and other resources to individuals in need. In collaboration with The Bike Brigade, this project is meant to highlight the experiences of QT and BIPOC volunteer bicyclists, in order to increase The Bike Brigade’s capacity and inform their anti-oppression and equity […]

The COVID pandemic and looming climate crisis have pushed people to become aware of our vulnerability and rethink our lives/lifestyles. This proposed research sees mindfulness as important in supporting school educators to educate for sustainable living in environmental crises. Mindfulness has gained a mainstream status in school-based programs for its benefits on teachers and students’ […]

RPS Composites Inc. designs and manufactures a wide range of corrosion-resistant (fibre reinforced plastic/polymer) FRP and Dual Laminate equipment from piping systems to ducts, stacks, hoods, covers, cells, and other miscellaneous custom equipment. Their engineering team has used different design methods provided in the codes and standards. The current process of designing and generating the […]

In response to the vast interest in the North Shore pertaining to intergenerational initiatives, InterGenNS Project 2.0 seeks to bridge community engagement and academic research to provide tangible tools and resources that broaden the awareness of initiatives that connect generations in the North Shore. This project actively contributes to reducing social isolation and loneliness while […]
