This project brings together researchers from Canada and Switzerland to pilot a school-based intervention designed to support the mental well-being of elementary school-aged children. The intervention combines art-making and philosophical group discussions to create a safe space where children can explore the existential questions they naturally ask themselves — about life, death, meaning, and relationships. […]

Les animaux d’une même population mangent-ils tous la même chose? Si ce n’est pas le cas, pourquoi montrent-ils des régimes alimentaires différents? Les différences de personnalité, ou différences comportementales individuelles, qui persistent dans le temps et se maintiennent entre les situations, pourraient expliquer ces différences alimentaires. Par exemple, un individu qui explore généralement plus lentement […]

Ce projet étudie comment la gastronomie peut renforcer le rayonnement international des villes, en se concentrant sur Montréal et son dialogue culinaire avec la France, particulièrement Lyon. L’objectif est de comprendre comment certaines traditions culinaires françaises sont réinterprétées au Québec et comment elles contribuent à la vitalité culturelle, à l’attractivité touristique et au développement urbain […]

A hydrofoil is a wing like structure located on the underside of a watercraft, creating a lifting force which lifts the craft out of the water as it gains speed. They increase the fuel efficiency and speed of watercraft, allowing the craft to glide more smoothly over water. Hydrofoil effectiveness is restricted by issues such […]

Le projet RELIEF vise à évaluer l’applicabilité clinique de stimulations électriques fonctionnelles (SEF) optimisées pour la rééducation après une arthroplastie totale inversée de l’épaule. Durant son stage à Genève, le stagiaire (Kevin Co) produira plusieurs patrons de stimulation : un patron standard déjà utilisé en clinique, et trois patrons optimisés à l’aide d’outils développés pendant […]

Le maintien à domicile des personnes âgées présentant des troubles cognitifs constitue un enjeu majeur pour les systèmes de santé. Les technologies de télémonitoring basées sur des capteurs à domicile offrent des opportunités importantes pour mieux comprendre les activités de la vie quotidienne, suivre l’évolution de l’autonomie et soutenir les décisions en matière de soins. […]

This project focuses on using deep learning techniques and AI for medical image processing, optimizing these techniques to maximize efficiency and accuracy in processing large sets medical data. This project specifically aims to improve generalization and explainability of deep learning models used in medical imaging, focusing on medical image segmentation to explore how current medical […]

This project investigates biomechanical risk factors associated with non-specific low back pain in road cyclists. Using motion capture and isokinetic core strength testing, spinal movement patterns and muscular deficits are analyzed during cycling under controlled laboratory conditions and highly realistic treadmill cycling with the athlete’s own bicycle. The goal is to better understand how segmental […]

Solid-state hydrogen storage in MgH2 has strong potential due to its high energy density, but it is limited by technical constraints. Dehydrogenation requires high temperatures (300–400?°C), which are unsuitable for many applications, and the hydrogen release kinetics remain slow because of the low diffusion within the crystalline structure. To address these challenges, our project adopts […]

As part of this project, the intern will work in the laboratories of Paola Ceroni and Garry Hanan with the goal of producing hydrogen from solar energy. To achieve this, a ruthenium metal complex will be synthesized and characterized in order to obtain a catalyst. Experiments and research will be conducted in both laboratories to […]

This project will develop new bio-based materials to support the removal of persistent organic pollutants from water using light-driven processes. The research will focus on creating porous, plant-protein-based aerogels that can act as stable platforms for immobilizing photocatalytic materials, making them easier to handle, recover, and reuse in water treatment applications. By combining these bio-derived […]

This project aims to develop intelligent control systems for robotic exoskeletons that can better assist human movement. Using artificial intelligence, specifically deep reinforcement learning, the project will train controllers in advanced computer simulations that model both the human body and the robotic device. Muscle activity signals (EMG) will be incorporated so that the exoskeleton can […]
