Le projet de stage chez Empenn a pour objectif de modéliser les conséquences des traumatismes crâniens chez les enfants en se basant sur des données d’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Ce stage sera mené par la stagiaire Andjela Dimitrijevic, se concentrant principalement sur l’acquisition de données liées au traumatisme crânien léger (TCC) chez les enfants, […]

This research project focuses on studying how a coastal community in Japan responds to a tsunami evacuation drill. The main goal is to understand and improve the community’s preparedness for such emergencies. The study will collect data through questionnaires, GPS tracking devices, and drone footage during a tsunami evacuation drill. The researchers will analyze people’s […]

Phytopathogenic fungi secrete diverse enzymes to help them infect host plants. Foliar phytopathogens like Colletotrichum species, contain tandem copper radical oxidase (CRO) and peroxidase genes. The CRO-peroxidase pair is co-secreted during initial leaf penetration phases. The CRO oxidizes long-chain alcohols found in the leaf cuticle while the peroxidase activates the CRO. We discovered that the […]

Ice seals are considered bio-indicators of the Arctic ecosystem health, yet little is known about how they have responded both horizontally and vertically to seasonal and annual changes in the Arctic ecosystem. As the Arctic continues to lose ice, this study examines future consequences of these ecosystem changes on the Arctic hooded seals. This study […]

The main objective of the current research is to enhance the detection, clustering, and estimation of Extreme Precipitation Events (EPEs) in arid and semi-arid regions. To achieve this goal, we propose a novel framework called Machine-learning-based Clustering-merging algorithms (ML-CMAs) for satellite-based precipitation products (SPPs). Daily precipitation measurements were utilized for training and evaluating EPEs estimation […]

Le projet a pour objectif de réaliser une réaction de cycloaddition [2+2] avec deux partenaires de couplage afin de permettre la formation composés cyclobutanoïques. Cette transformation sera assurée par l’utilisation d’un complexe de cuivre, le tout sous irradiation photochimique. Le but sera d’aboutir à un catalogue de molécules complexes, d’en étudier le mécanisme de la […]

Le projet a pour but de développer une approche synthétique de la céphalotaxine, un produit naturel anticancéreux. Ce produit naturel, bin que connu de longue date, n’a jamais été synthétisé sous forme énantiopure, et est utilisé via extraction de plantes source. Les études proposées viseront à définir une route d’accès synthétique à cette molécule naturelle […]

Le projet de recherche concerne la mise au point de systèmes catalytiques efficaces, permettant des cyclisations et des fonctionalisations de molécules insaturées de type ène-ynes et aldéhyde-ynes. Ce projet proposera différentes facettes, la première étant la synthèse des précurseurs insaturés. Dans un second temps, es conditions réactionnelles seront étudiés et mises au point en modifiant […]

The challenges posed by yield loss and plant diseases facing climate change are on the rise. And it is impossible to ignore fungal pathogens in agriculture. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most devastating plant pathogens that can cause substantial damage to major crops such as canola, various beans, and sunflowers in Canada, the USA, […]

This dissertation project will analyze the multi-angular process of refugee transnationalism in which different non-European refugee groups seeking asylum in Turkey where they are temporarily settled and protected. After having quasi protection from the Turkish state and living in-between conditions, those non-European asylum seekers are resettled to third countries such as the United States, Canada, […]

This project addresses a flexible autonomous robotic welding system. Despite the advancements in robotic systems, there are still significant challenges in developing welding robots for industrial applications. Challenges such as accurately determining the weld seam coordinates, ensuring the electrode head remains at the correct distance from the weld seam, and mitigating high environmental noise have […]
