Le projet de recherche proposé s’intéresse aux éléments caractérisant la reconversion architecturale de bâtiments industriels à Montréal ainsi qu’à Birmingham. À cette fin, je réaliserai une étude de cas comparative me permettant de comparer le recyclage du Centre Phi à un cas brummi qu’il me faut encore sélectionner. Je me pencherai, d’une part, sur le […]

Ce projet vise à développer une méthode de prédiction et d’atténuation précise et abordable du bruit induit par l’écoulement. L’approche innovante, basée sur les développements récents en simulation et en modélisation fondée sur les données, promesse de réduire la pollution sonore, d’améliorer la santé publique et atténuer l’impact de l’urbanisation. À ce jour, les limites […]

The ultimate goal for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is to enable technical systems to adapt themselves, learn from their environment, and take decisions in concordance with specific situations, without human involvement. Specifically, cooperation between these intelligent technical systems is considered as a key factor towards such a challenge. This project aims to enhance an autonomous […]

Terrestrial Laser scanning is a surveying tool that can create 3D point clouds by shooting a web/mesh of laser points in a 360° range of its surroundings, determining the coordinates at each data point. This research will determine its applicability to measure deformations of a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining wall by comparing measurements to […]

Climate change is causing rapid environmental shifts, resulting in high levels of multiple stressors impacting diverse species. To avoid extinction, species need to adapt quickly to those stressors. As coral reef ecosystems are disproportionately affected by climate change, the species within them are vulnerable to environmental changes. One mechanism by which species can adapt rapidly […]

Wind and solar energy are the fastest growing sources of electricity in Canada. However, its electricity supply is not aligned with the energy demand. In this context, energy storage becomes more and more important to bridge temporal and geographical gaps. The Power-to-Gas process (P2G) is a promising technology in which excess electricity is converted to […]

Over 400 million homes in China burn coal to meet indoor heating requirements, exposing individuals to air pollution in their homes and contributing to poor ambient air quality. Exposure to air pollution is associated with excess morbidity and mortality, but few studies have assessed the impact of interventions that reduce air pollution. Recently, the Beijing […]

This paper studies the answer to the Japanese scholarship in the Song Dynasty ancestor of the 17th ancestor of the Song Dynasty. The answers reflect the academic rationale of the Tenda in the early Song Dynasty, and I will analyze whether his answer is only from an academic standpoint. His answers include his own theoretical […]

I propose a one semester research stay (Fall 2019) at KU Leuven with Dr. Henning Tegtmeyer. I will study nothing. That is, I will study the philosophical concept of nothingness – how nothing defies and confounds thought. The concept of nothing emerges prominently in the works of Martin Heidegger, a 20th century German philosopher, and […]

Wetlands can store carbon 30-40 times faster, and for longer periods of time, than terrestrial ecosystems. As a result, coastal wetland ecosystems are known to play a crucial role in combating climate change. Activities such as dredging and shoreline erosion have potential negative impacts on these coastal environments, hindering their capacity to store carbon. Not […]

Je m’intéresse aux stratégies de communication sur les médias socionumériques du groupe d’intérêts environnement Greenpeace Canada et Greenpeace France. Je porte mon attention, plus particulièrement, sur leurs campagnes liées aux changements climatiques dans ces deux pays. Je désire comprendre comment ils plaident et sensibilisent à la cause des bouleversements climatiques. Pour ce faire, j’étudie les […]

Celtic traditional music and dance (CTMD) plays a pivotal social, economic, and cultural role in the Shetland and Orkney Islands. In contrast to the Canadian decline of CTMD, there have been successful, state-sanctioned revivals throughout the UK for both cultural and economic development. However, highlighting the circumpolar connections of traditional music in the North Atlantic, […]
