The intern will further improve the company’s proprietary biomaterials to create tumor models using cancer cells. These tumor models can be used as an alternative to traditional 2D cell culture and potentially animal testing for cancer drugs. These cancer models will cost a fraction of the cost of animal models and can be tested using […]

In plasma spray, coating materials melted by the plasma heat source are sprayed onto a substrate to make a coating layer which can be highly resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks. It is of importance to accurately measure the velocity and temperature of the sprayed coating particles. These characteristics have a great impact on the […]

Within a hydrogen fuel cell, the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is generally considered a limiting component in overall performance due to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. The proposed internship is comprised of two projects, each characterizing the materials used in the CCL. The first project will investigate the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium gases […]

The aim of this project will be to evaluate the performance of a custom ultrasonic linear array transducer in an industrial setting. The partner organization, Finkl-Steel Sorel, is a manufacturer of high quality steel forging andhas a desire to improve the inspection tools they are currently using. However, due to the size of the steel […]

De nos jours, les véhicules deviennent de plus en plus intelligents et embarquent des technologies et techniques de plus en plus complexes afin d’assister les utilisateurs que ce soit dans la prise de décision ou pour améliorer l’expérience de conduite (confort, sécurité, etc.). Les véhicules ont de plus en plus besoin de communiquer afin de […]

Balch Exploration Consulting Inc. (BECI) develops low cost geophysical survey solutions to the natural resources sector. They are investing in the development of a rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a new high-precision fluxgate magnetometer. The general objective of this internship is to develop a rotary-wing UAS for aeromagnetic surveying. Specific objectives are to: assemble […]

Morphodynamic models are increasingly used in watershed management to predict the evolution of river channels and to test management scenarios prior to their implementation. The impact of plants in riparian zones is particularly critical to better document, but the current models rarely integrate this component. This project will use a bank erosion module and a […]

Rooftop solar modules installations are growing in popularity as the benefits of implementing these features on previously unoccupied roof space are being realized. A major concern with these installations is the contribution to the roof load due to the interaction between high wind speeds and the angled modules. Similarly, there are concerns with uplift on […]

Forest companies would like to reduce the number of birds, eggs, and nests that are negatively affected by logging. The problem is that we don’t have detailed knowledge of where every bird lives, so it’s difficult to make educated choices about where and how much forest to harvest. My research will provide a solution to […]

Over the past 15 years, People for Education has conducted a survey of Ontario’s publicly funded schools. From this large-scale survey, People for Education produces research reports on public education in Ontario that are widely disseminated to the public and have been instrumental to informing educational policy in the province. The core objectives of this […]

L’Institut du véhicule innovant (IVI) situé à Saint-Jérôme a récemment mis sur pied le programme Arion qui vise à créer un système de navigation pour véhicule autonome hors route adaptable à plusieurs contextes et environnements. L’IVI veut transférer toute la technologie développée dans le développement de ce système à diverses PME partenaires désirant créer des […]

Building on top of the numerous recent advances in deep learning (and in machine learning in general), we aim at learning high-level, semantically plausible representations of animation data and human from 3D skeletal data in order to automate or replace different tasks of the animation pipeline which require sometimes rigorous human work. Specifically, the tasks […]
