API usability specifies how easy, efficient, error-preventing, and pleasant an API of a software library is from its users’ perspective. With machine learning (ML) techniques becoming increasingly powerful and pervasive, many non-programmers and casual users (e.g. domain experts in medicine or geography) started to explore ML libraries. However, many find them challenging to use because […]

This research project is aimed at improving the oxygenation of water downstream of hydroelectric dams; one of the issues being to preserve the aquatic fauna. The goal is to develop the fundamental understanding and applied technology needed by industry in the field of two-phase flows. Experimental and numerical tools are developed to design similar laws, […]

The PDF research will consist of two main tasks. The first task will be to assess carbon stocks in soils, terrestrial vegetation, and lake sediments from the 1970s to present-day around the Sudbury region. This task will involve using remotely-sensed imagery (Landsat, MODIS) validated with targeted ground-truthing collected as part of the broader L-CARE project […]

ans cette proposition de recherche, une étude connexe est proposée en vue d’investiguer trois questions de recherche clés. Dans l’étude, nous chercherons à determiner si la perte auditive (PA) et l’utilisation d’aides auditives (AA) chez les personnes âgées ayant une perte auditive liée à l’âge (PALA) ont un impact sur la qualité de vie (QV) […]

Dans le cadre de mon doctorat, j’ai pu mettre en évidence que 30 min d’engagement dans une tâche cognitive exigeante induit une la fatigue mentale associée à une augmentation de la perception de l’effort lors d’une tâche motrice subséquente. Des données du laboratoire de Dr Pageaux suggèrent une interaction entre la douleur et l’effort nécessaire […]

In Green Sulphur Bacteria, the chlorosome is the organelle responsible for the harvesting of solar energy, and for the transportation of this energy to the rest of the photosynthetic system. This is attained through the use of many pigment molecules, on the order of thousands, that are present within the chlorosome. These pigments absorb the […]

The current feedstock of en-life high impact polystyrene (HIPS) is currently impossible to be valorized and recyled due the presence of brominated fire retardants (FRs). The presence of those FRs is consequence of the need from the electronic industry to compile with the security regulations. However, now those brominated compounds are to be banned due […]

Mon mémoire de maîtrise invite à repenser la coopération mondiale au-delà des frontières nationales et appelle à l’intégration d’une plus large gamme d’acteurs autour des tables de décisions internationales. Pour ce faire, je m’intéresse au cas de l’environnement et, plus particulièrement, à la pollution du plastique dans les océans. À travers ce cas d’étude, mes […]

This project aims at investigating the effect of communication constraints on cooperative manipulators. Afterward, the communication constraints will be detailed modeled, based on that the control strategy specifically for the multi-robot system will be developed. The stability of the system under the designed control strategy should be guaranteed, and the performance regarding the execution of […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris dans ce stage vise à établir une méthodologie pour caractériser des pastilles supraconductrices en fonction de l’angle d’un champ magnétique appliqué. Avec l’aide du magnétomètre géant du groupe de Philippe Vanderbemden, l’aimantation d’une pastille supraconductrice plongée dans un champ peut être déterminée pour obtenir sa densité de courant critique, une […]
