Amélioration de la classification des arbres tropicaux à partir d’images prises par drone grâce à la fusion d’entrées multimodales

Les forêts tropicales sont de plus en plus menacées par la déforestation, les incendies et les perturbations climatiques. Afin de surveiller la biodiversité et de prévoir les tendances spécifiques à chaque espèce, les chercheurs ont commencé à utiliser des technologies aériennes sans pilote (i.e. drones) pour identifier les espèces et cartographier la forêt. Cependant, les […]

Superposition of Spacetime

The aim of this project is to study and develop the formalism of spacetime superposition. The focus will be to understand the behaviour of simple quantum systems in the vicinity of black hole horizons. In this physical scenario, both quantum theory and general relativity remain valid, but the question of what happens cannot be answered […]

New Perspectives in Quantum Materials: Floquet Circuits and Magnetic Aspects of Hyperbolic Lattices

This project aims to develop new driving protocols and investigate the exotic physical properties of hyperbolic quantum materials using time-periodically modulated (“Floquet”) electrical circuits under magnetic driving. By leveraging these programmable circuits, we will explore how curvature and periodic modulation influence energy flow, spectral features, and effective magnetic behavior in synthetic hyperbolic lattices. The collaboration […]

Generation of Squeezed States in Erbium-Doped Fiber for Quantum-Enhanced Dual-Comb Spectroscopy

This project focuses on improving the sensitivity of advanced laser measurement tools, known as dual-comb spectrometers, by using quantum mechanics to reduce noise below standard physical limits. During a research internship at the University of Colorado Boulder, the student will learn to generate “squeezed” states of light and aim to adapt this cutting-edge technology to […]

Open-source translational framework for AI-powered ultrasound-guided kidney interventions

This project aims to democratize access to advanced surgical navigation by developing an open-source, AI-enabled training and guidance system for ultrasound-guided kidney procedures. Built entirely within the free 3D Slicer platform, the system combines real-time tracking and deep-learning segmentation to help trainees and clinicians visualize kidney structures and plan safer, more precise punctures. The collaboration […]

Wind turbine wake mitigation with active control in a utility sized wind farms under varying thermal stratifications of the atmosphere

Among renewable technologies, wind energy offers some of the lowest levelized costs of energy in Canada and therefore holds significant potential to contribute to the nation’s clean energy transition. However, the large-scale deployment of wind energy in wind farms presents new challenges that are not encountered with standalone turbines. When downstream turbines operate in the […]

Advancing life cycle sustainability assessment for metal production from models to real-world impact

This project will create a new framework that combines process simulations with environmental, economic, and social life cycle assessments to evaluate the sustainability of metal production and recycling processes. By extending current methods beyond environmental analysis to also include costs and social impacts, the project will provide a more complete understanding of how new metallurgical […]

Les valeurs que les jeunes accordent au tourisme durable

En 2024, le nombre de voyages internationaux est revenu au même niveau qu’avant la pandémie, soit plus de 1,4 milliard de voyageurs. Au Québec, les touristes sont également présents malgré les contraintes économiques et sociales. Pensons à l’inflation ou à la crise du logement. Jeunes et moins jeunes se déplacent afin de découvrir le monde […]
