Creating speech neuroprostheses, or devices that can help restore the ability to speak to people who have lost it due to neurological damage or disorder is extremely important because it can greatly improve the quality of life for these individuals. Despite this, there has not been a widely successful solution to this issue yet because […]

Au Canada comme en France, les systèmes de santé doivent faire face à un engorgement important des services d’urgence. Cette problématique majeure risque de s’amplifier dans les prochaines années. Au Québec, un essai clinique randomisé contrôlé (ECR) en cluster impliquant huit services d’urgence est mis en place. Celui-ci a pour objectif d’évaluer l’efficacité d’un nouveau […]

The main objective of this international research project is to answer fundamental chemistry questions on the molecular interactions between high-performance polymers of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherimide (PEI). This research project is a subpart of my Ph.D. project that aims to develop new high-performance polymer blends for the aerospace sector, i.e. to replace aluminum in the […]

With climate change driving more severe and unpredictable weather, countries around the world are facing higher probability of extreme weather events, particularly in the form of flooding, storm surges, and hurricanes. The overall objective of this research is to explore how Canada, a (low-probability of risk country) and Japan (a high-probability of risk country) compare […]

Driven by the awareness of the full environmental impact of fossil fuel mass consumption, the world is gradually transitioning to sustainable energy sources to eventually eliminate CO2 emissions. Inspired by this, we seek to develop an inexpensive photocatalytic system composed of earth-abundant organic polymer semiconductor and molecular cocatalysts that is capable of utilizing the energy […]

My project’s goal is to create an efficient application that would demonstrate the prediction of the survival and mortality risks of a certain patient generated by a deep learning algorithm, and provide doctors with all the relevant data surrounding this prediction. I am going to work on the ways to implement this application into doctors’ […]

Pedicle screws are used often in a spinal fusion to add support and strength to the fusion while it heals. Traditionally, a large incision is made to implant screws and rods that stabilize the spine. In contrast, percutaneous pedicle fixation is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique, performed through the skin without a traditional large […]

Dans le cadre du stage, le stagiaire sera amené à créer des outils d’analyse informatique afin de caractériser la turbulence du plasma (un gaz contenant des électrons libres) de fusion nucléaire. La fusion nucléaire est une technologie émergente permettant de créer de l’énergie propre en grande quantité par la fusion d’atomes en éléments plus lourds. […]

Our goal is to achieve environmental sustainability while facing severe resource constraints (including a lack of financial resources, skilled labor, and available power sources) by using innovative and non-conventional technologies. Agricultural products have been demonstrated to be an effective alternative to conventional treatment systems for the adsorption-based removal of hazardous heavy metals such as chromium […]

Influenza viruses circulate widely in human populations and cause seasonal respiratory infections. However, the true reservoir host for influenza viruses are birds, and periodic spillover events from birds to livestock and humans can introduce new influenza viruses with pandemic potential into the human population; the most recent example was the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. We seek […]

Les fleuves représentent l’une des plus grandes ressources naturelles, sociales et économiques au monde. Figures emblématiques du cycle de l’eau, les fleuves jouent un rôle de premier plan dans la régularisation du climat, le développement urbain, l’agriculture et les échanges économiques. Par exemple, le fleuve Saint-Laurent draine à lui seul plus d’un quart des réserves […]

The medical practice, criminal prosecution, and political organizing around abortion is not well studied in early twentieth century Mexico. The catalogue of the Supreme Court of the Federal District of Mexico (TSJDF) indicates the court opened over one hundred cases for the crime in the 1930s and a further 90 cases in the 1940s. However, […]
