In this project a modular propulsion simulation tool will be developed, which is able to be integrated in an already existing framework for preliminary aircraft design. The developed tool shall then be used for analyzing different propulsion system configurations of conceptual aircraft, to compare these against each other regarding different metrics, such as efficiency and […]

This project studies the history of the implementation of secular divorce in the western Mexican state of Michoacán in the last four decades of the nineteenth century to study how populations reacted to the transformation of the legal procedure from the religious to the secular sphere in terms of gender ideology, class identity, and religious […]

Nous cherchons à adapter un modèle afin de modéliser l’initiation et la propagation d’une décharge électrique produite dans l’air avec la présence d’une ou plusieurs gouttelettes d’un liquide. bien que l’étude est fondamentale, elle va nous renseigner sur l’évolution spatio-temporelle de la densité des électrons et du champ électrique qui sont incontournables pour le développement […]

This project aims to develop novel rare-earth metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a type of porous material which by thoughtful design, have tunable properties which can be tailored to target the sustainable separation of valuable and otherwise energy intensive chemical separations such as the separation of hydrocarbons, usually performed by distillation. The project combines the expertise in […]

Measuring the abilities of health practitioners to motivate patients to behaviour change is important. Healthcare practitioners are rarely adequately trained on how to engage patients on it. Healthcare practitioners often aim to promote behaviour change by providing unsolicited advice, which is not conducive to promoting behaviour change, due to not considering patient motivation or perceived […]

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is engineered to facilitate casting and accelerate the construction process while enhancing structural performance and durability. Its high deformability allows SCC to spread and fill formwork under its own weight, eliminating the need for external vibration. The mix design of SCC is critical for achieving an optimal balance between fluidity and stability, […]

This project aims to examine how doctoral students in mainland China navigate their agency in career imagination—how they think about and act on their career aspirations—during their studies. It investigates what personal, structural, and socio-cultural factors influence doctoral student agency, and how the interplay of these factors and agency shapes their career envisioning and action […]

This project aims to create a system that can turn simple text descriptions of designs into detailed 3D models automatically. By combining shape grammar rules (which act like guidelines for building shapes) with advanced language-processing AI models called transformers, the system will understand natural language inputs and generate precise 3D representations known as Boundary Representation […]

Ce projet se concentre sur la production et la caractérisation du biochar, un matériau carboné aux multiples applications prometteuses, obtenu par pyrolyse de la biomasse dans un environnement pauvre en oxygène. L’objectif principal est de soutenir le développement et l’installation de deux modèles de pyrolyseurs à petite échelle dans des communautés cries, contribuant ainsi à […]

Cancer treatment by radiotherapy (RT) is essential yet complex, requiring precise radiation doses to effectively target tumors while sparing healthy tissues. This project addresses the frequent challenge of dose discrepancies-differences between the planned and delivered doses-due to factors such as patient anatomy, organ movement, and equipment variability. These inconsistencies can lead to increased toxicity or […]

This internship supports the creation of a comprehensive 80-100 page guide titled “Playing with Nostalgia” by a PhD student intern working in the field of game studies and sociology. The guide has one question: how can we use videogames to inspire people to feel nostalgic for, and thus work to preserve, the future? Research suggests […]

Verbal encouragement aims to increase athletes’ performance by mobilizing resources, such as commitment and motivation, self-efficacy and/or the reduction of stress. A large body of literature supports its effectiveness in a variety of settings (e.g., sport, exercise). Yet, most studies suffer from important limitations, including the lack of external validity of the experimental stimulus. In […]
