Les pratiques courantes de simulation énergétique des bâtiments servant entre autres à obtenir les certifications vertes (LEED, BREEAM, etc.) ne facilitent pas la collaboration entre ingénieurs mécaniques et architectes ; ceci peut mener à des opportunités manquées de réduction de coût et d’efficacité énergétique. Le projet de recherche permettra de comparer de nouveaux outils ciblant […]

Le projet comporte deux phases. Une première phase consiste à mettre à niveau l’algorithme actuel et à implanter une approche développée par Spaeth et Desmarais (2013). Cette approche combine les techniques dites collaboratives et par contenu. Elle améliore la performance par rapport aux résultats individuels de chaque technique. Une seconde phase consiste à élaborer un […]

Research on university graduates’ University-to-Work transition (UWT) is sharply polarized between two discourses: the smooth transition narrative and the crisis narrative. Proponents of the smooth transition narrative such as universities are reporting high-rates of student satisfaction, skill transferability as well as early-career earnings consistent with those of 1970s and 1980s’s graduates. At the same, the […]

Réaliser une animation réaliste d’un visage dans l’industrie du jeu vidéo est un défi technique. Il est extrêmement complexe, y compris pour les meilleurs animateurs 3D, de produire une animation faciale réaliste. Une manière de résoudre ce problème est de le voir d’un autre angle : pourquoi simuler une chose que l’on peut capturer ? […]

Safe drinking water supply is a daily need but it can be seriously threatened by microbial hazards originating from fecal contamination of source water, especially following periods of intense rainfall. In order to assess drinking water intakes (DWIs) vulnerability to fecal pollution and to take cost-effective decisions in case of hazardous events, it is urgent […]

Childhood obesity has increased drastically since the late 1970s and unhealthy eating habits are just one of the causes. Some studies have shown that consuming dairy products such as yogurt helps control body weight in both adults and children. However, factors such as genetics and environment may play a role in this response as children […]

A l’heure actuelle, le domaine de la construction rencontre de nombreux problèmes tant sur l’augmentation des temps de projet mais aussi des coûts. Le projet vise donc à créer un rapport, une base d’information, mais surtout une aide permettant aux divers métiers et intervenants de la construction, de mieux appréhender la coordination 3D dans le […]

This project is designated to develop a next generation optimal two-dimensional energy management algorithm for a novel grid-connected thermal/electrical hybrid energy system. On-site implementation of the model and algorithm will be phased into a real community at an undisclosed location for performance evaluation. The results of this project can be directly used by the partner […]

Small teams of mobile robots provide nowadays the ability to assist wireless sensor networks in many threatening scenarios that unexpectedly arise during their operational lifetime. The perceived risk or vulnerability that the network is exposed to triggers an immediate, corporate action from the robotic agents (actuators). We focus on a sort of robots which are […]

There is much about the brain we still do not understand. But, one fundamental way to understand how the brain works is to know normal range of activity. For example, how does your physician know that you have normal blood pressure? Similarly, why did the medical community choose “120 over 80”? The way we do […]

Immunovaccine Inc. is developing immune therapies for cancer using the company’s DepoVaxTM vaccine technology. DepoVax is a patented formulation provides controlled and prolonged exposure of antigens and adjuvants to the immune system, resulting in a strong, specific and sustained immune response. Immunovaccine’s translational research team is focused on improving responses in advanced cancers by combining […]

We are in the process of creating and growing a team of researchers, expert in the field of machine learning and data-mining. Ultimately, our aim is to create solutions to eliminate the need to manually define personalization strategies. We are in the process of signing partnership agreements with retailers capable of collecting large-scale datasets of […]
