Hydrogels can hold many times their weight in water and consequentially find a diverse range of applications, ranging from biomedical applications to photonics and adhesion. However, their moisture content is not easily controlled; in wet environments, water easily enters the hydrogel, and in dry environments, water in the hydrogel quickly evaporates. This leads to swollen […]

Terahertz (THz) waves are a type of radiation located between micro-waves and infrared light. This radiation possess both the qualities of micro-waves passing through walls and infrared which can be used to image an object. In the current project of the student, electro-optic sampling (EOs) method is used to detect THz pulse’s phase in reflexion […]

In this project, we study a connection between graphs (also called networks) and algebraic objects known as ideals. Graph theory is a major branch of modern mathematics, with diverse applications to society and industry such as transportation system modelling and social media marketing. The simple yet fundamental algebraic structure of an ideal encodes important information […]

Urban sprawl has become a major concern in scientific and political discussions because of its many detrimental environmental, economic, and social effects. The current trends in urban sprawl in many countries are in conflict with the spirit and the principles of sustainable development. How can this growing challenge be addressed by future urban growth management […]

The research project will develop a pipe replacement and rehabilitation optimization method. The research group is currently developing machine learning models to predict future water main failure. Data has been collected from 13 cities across Canada and represent different conditions and settings. This data is already being cleaned and analysed by a team of graduate […]

In this project, we bring together a team of four proposed MITACs globalink student scholars working in Brazil and Canada with supervisors directly involved with the research project. We will begin to fill the gaps in knowledge about successful reintroduction of capuchin monkeys by 1) conducting behavioural research on bearded brown capuchin (*Sapajus libidinosus*) personality […]

Many skilled women workers are going through unemployment phase after Covid-19. There few are under employment. These skilled, and educated professionals are facing domestic work pressure, and economic challenges, where the secauses unhappiness in their life. This Covid-19have impacted badly to the life of IndoCanadians, particularly women as a vulnerable group. However, this research addresses […]

Le projet Mitacs Globalink que nous proposons est la première étape d’une collaboration entre le laboratoire DOMUS de l’Université de Sherbrooke et le laboratoire LISTIC de l’Université Savoie Mont Blanc. Dans sa thèse, M. Hubert Kenfack NGANKAM a créé un système de création de scénarios pour aider les personnes atteintes de la maladie d’Alzheimer lors […]

In this internship, we will leverage the power of AI multi-modal algorithms to build a system for predicting the risk of cardiovascular (heart) diseases by extracting features from tabular data (clinical data and demographics) and the medical images in order to predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases at 5 years and 10 eyars. We have […]

In this project, by considering a team of heterogeneous robots available at the host institution, the intern will develop a trajectory planning method that ensures target enclosure in the presence of noisy measurements. Such a planner will leverage a positioning algorithm developed to take advantage of all the robots’ onboard sensors. Specifically, the objective of […]

This project deals with the continuation of a project at Concordia University in 2020 via Mitacs Globalink research award. The project investigated different manufacturing scenarios of a thermoplastic skin/grind structure using automated fiber placement (AFP) in the Concordia Center for Composites labs. The thermoplastic skin/grin structure was successfully fabricated via AFP in-situ consolidation. Now, this […]

This research project consists in obtaining detailed information about the structure of a particular class of crystalline materials named metal–organic frameworks, comprised of inorganic nodes interconnected by organic linkers. Their highly ordered structure allows the use of routine characterization techniques to earn insights about the organization of atoms and molecules within their framework. However, due […]
