Coarse Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

This project in collaboration with Oxford University focuses on improving how robots work together through coarse Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). SLAM technology is crucial for autonomous navigation, allowing robots to map and understand their surroundings while providing real-time localization estimates. The coarse approach we aim to develop would simplify how robots map their […]

Numerical Study of Fluid Flow and Phase Behaviour of Tight Geothermal Reservoir

This research proposes a systematic workflow, which utilizes theoretical approaches to identify the complex fluid flow mechanisms and quantify the phase behaviour of confined fluids for geothermal reservoirs. Due to the complexity of tight geothermal reservoirs, conventional EOS cannot be efficiently applied since it does not take into account the interactions between molecules-molecules (m-m) and […]

Recording the developmental plasticity of a mammalian brain in DNA tapes

The chart of synaptic connections within a mammalian brain will serve as a reference map for generations, rivaling the impact of reference genomes. However, such maps have been elusive because current microscopy-based methods do not scale and necessitate sample destruction, losing the developmental history of synapses. We propose a novel “DNA tape” system that uses […]

Co-construction d’un programme de pair aidance en oncologie : regards croisés France – Québec

La pair-aidance est un mode d’accompagnement entre pairs qui composent ou ont composé avec des expériences de vie difficiles de même nature. Au cours cet accompagnement un pair-aidant (PA) met à disposition d’autres patients son savoir expérientiel, issu de sa vie avec la maladie, pour offrir un soutien émotionnel, expérientiel et informationnel aux patients accompagnés. […]

Machine learning for membrane simulations

The proposed research aims to apply the capabilities of machine learning to study molecular models of cell membranes. Cell membranes are composed of fluid lipid bilayers with a highly dynamic nature. By developing neural network models for the simulation of lipid bilayers, we seek to overcome the shortcomings of current computational methods, providing superior accuracy […]

Identification des efforts injectés par un instrumentiste sur une percussion par le couplage d’une méthode d’identification et de mesures vibratoires de plein champ

Les mesures par contact des vibrations structurelles sont effectuées traditionnellement à l’aide d’accéléromètres. Les mesures de vibrations sans contact ont été initiées avec la vibrométrie laser Doppler, mais le nombre d’applications à des excitation transitoires reste limité car la vibrométrie nécessite une opération de scan. Les techniques photographiques, comme la déflectométrie ou la corrélation d’images […]

Comparative Insights of Cultural Influence on Classroom Management in Grades 4 to 8: Exploring Chinese and Canadian Educational Philosophies, Practices, and Intercultural Exchanges

The objectives of this Globalink research project are to study in China and compare it to that of Canada, more specifically the philosophy behind teachers, classrooms, and schools. One sub- objective includes comparing the difference between China and Canada’s teaching philosophies. For example, what specifically do these countries do differently in the grades 4 – […]

Advancing Brain Tumor Segmentation through Deep Learning based Approaches

We propose a semi-automated brain lesions segmentation method utilizing deep learning techniques and point prompting such as foundation models (SAM). This developed approach aims to assist physicians in the follow-up of multiple sclerosis disease at different stages, enhancing the likelihood of successful treatment for patients. The key contribution of this research lies in the advancement […]

Characterization of the interface between biomaterials and proteins/cells in the presence of nanotopography

While most of the literature focuses directly on cellular response to biomaterials, cell attachment and behaviour is mediated by the proteins attached to the material. The composition and characteristics of such proteins is dependent on the substrates’ properties, both chemical, physical and mechanical. However, how surface characteristics control protein-material interactions still requires further investigation. The […]

Making Meaning of International Intercultural Reciprocal Learning in Pre-service Teacher Education: Narratives of Canadian Novice Teachers

This proposed project aims to inquire into Canadian novice teachers’ induction by exploring the long-term impact of international intercultural learning experiences they had during their pre-service teacher education. More specifically, my study expects to answer the three key questions: 1) What are the professional experiences of the Canadian participants in the Reciprocal Learning Program as […]
