A novel approach using inkjet-printer will be used for fabricating low-cost and large-area heaters on a Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, laminated on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. The PVC membrane with a laminated heater will be used as a de-icing material for roofs in buildings. Silver nanoparticle inks will be printed and patterned to create a […]

L’objectif de ce projet pilote est d’équiper des drones longue portée avec un système complémentaire de navigation assistée par l’intelligence artificielle. Plus précisément, ce système permettra aux drones de mieux percevoir leur environnement et d’y réagir plus intelligemment. La principale préoccupation concernant les drones volant hors visibilité directe (HVD) est reliée au partage de l’espace […]

La compagnie XEOS Imagerie œuvre dans le domaine de l’acquisition de données lidar (Light Detection and Ranging). Elle désire extraire automatiquement les points associés au sol et aux objets à partir du nuage de points 3D brut de l’acquisition lidar. Deux stages précédents ont permis d’identifier les points « Sol » et « Eau ». […]

In the modern world people want fast access to the right data at the right time. The facilitator of this data transmission and interconnection is the internet. People are sending and receiving data through their different devices. In this so called ubiquitous era service providers are moving from in shop servers to cloud environments and […]

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for loss allowances are changing, and financial institutions are proactively adapting existing methodologies and developing new ones to remain compliant. The main ingredient in the myriad of evaluations that banks are required to perform for compliance is risk assessment. The first goal of this research project is to review best […]

While promoting the destruction of the majority of tumour cells, chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients also permits chemo-resistant, senescent tumour cells to survive. Such senescent cells can live off dead tumour cells during and after chemotherapy. They can then form new tumours, resulting in disease progression. We have recently observed that chemotherapy treatment also induces […]

Stable isotope analysis is an important tool for identifying the primary foods present in wildlife diets. This project will use stable isotopes, collected from approximately 1000 hair samples, to develop dietary profiles of grizzly bears in British Columbia, Canada. The dietary profiles, representing the proportion of meat, fish, other marine fods, and vegetation in an […]

La notion de transition énergétique et écologique juste — ou transition juste — a été développée par le mouvement syndical mondial pour protéger les travailleuses et les travailleurs touchés.es par la transition vers une économie sobre en carbone. Elle est née de la nécessité de protéger les moyens de subsistance de ces personnes et de […]

The use of new technologies, such as Gallium Nitride electronic switches, allows very efficient and compact power converters to be manufactured at reasonable cost. This is particularly interesting in applications such as electric vehicles. This project focuses on developing software simulation models and techniques for deploying these latest high voltage switches, in particular focussing on […]

COVID-19, an infectious disease that has become a pandemic, causing dramatic strain on our healthcare system. Infected individuals generally report mild symptoms, while others suffer from severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. The proposed project aims to reduce infections by implementing an intelligent alert system that encompasses a smart Bluetooth wearable and an artificially intelligent (AI) platform. […]

Infection causing bacteria often grow as a community called a biofilm, which once formed becomes protected from the outside environment. In the context of a human infection, this means a biofilm is more resistant to both the immune system and external interventions such as antibiotics. For this reason, biofilms are proposed to be the link […]

A Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending platform allows small businesses to obtain working capital funds through an online system, where individuals can anonymously pool together funds for investment. Instead of relying on a third-party website for crowdfunding (such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo), we propose a decentralized platform for P2P. Unlike traditional P2P lending which is usually done […]
