This research project analyzes how South Korean TV dramas, particularly King the Land (2023), portray masculinity and why these representations appeal to Western audiences like those in Canada and Brazil. By studying cinematic techniques and cultural themes, the project aims to understand how these dramas shape global perceptions of South Korean men and culture. The […]

Apical periodontitis is a disease caused by the persistence of microorganisms and their virulence factors in the root canal system. This infection leads to inflammation of the soft tissues and changes in the periapical bone structure. Bacteria such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Parvimonas micra form biofilms that are resistant to conventional cleaning, making treatment more […]

This project will explore the use of quantum technologies to simulate physical systems relevant to particle physics, with a focus on neutrino behavior. The goal is to build an analog quantum simulator: a special device whose components are designed to naturally follow the dynamics of the system being studied. The platform will be superconducting circuits, […]

Quantum technologies are today at the forefront of scientific research, as they are expected to have a very strong impact in numerous fields. The primary objective in both research groups, the QPSA lab and the NPQO lab is to develop the physical building blocks necessary for quantum communication. Many different quantum systems are currently being […]

Le Theophrastus Redivivus est un texte anonyme rédigé à Paris au 17ème siècle et est le premier texte ouvertement athée de l’ère chrétienne en Occident. Ce texte propose plusieurs idées qui annoncent la Modernité des Lumières, quoiqu’il soit près d’un siècle en avance. Le texte est abondamment bâti sur la littérature ancienne (sont tirés de […]

Access to clean water is a critical global challenge, with billions facing water scarcity or contamination. This project aims to develop a sustainable water purification system that uses solar energy to convert contaminated or salty water into clean water, offering a low-cost, off-grid solution for rural and resource-limited communities. The system will use solar-driven interfacial […]

This research project investigates how disaster memorial spaces such as museums, monuments, and preserved sites contribute to collective memory and public engagement in different cultural contexts. Focusing on case studies in Japan and drawing comparisons with prior research in Türkiye, the project examines how spatial design, narrative construction, and visitor interaction shape societal understandings of […]

In 2020, there were 19.3 million new cancer cases and 9.9 million related deaths, with 70% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. In Latin America, cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with cases projected to rise from 4 million in 2020 to 6 million by 2040. Indigenous populations are among the most affected; in […]

The intern Mr. Andersen will travel from Aarhus University, Denmark to Polytechnique Montréal, Canada, to research the engineering of Digital Twins (DTs). DTs are virtual representations of physical systems, like the concrete mixing machine which is the focus of this project. Mr. Andersen will work with Prof. Bentley Oakes on the research problem of ensuring […]

This project will study consumer experience and reaction to shopping in a frictionless or autonomous store environment. Fricitonless stores offer a no-cashier shopping experience using advanced technologies such as computer vision , weight sensors and light sensors. The adoption of some or all aspects of this technology has significant potential benefits for retailers in terms […]

Face à la pollution causée par les plastiques, les bioplastiques apparaissent comme une alternative écologique viable. Toutefois, les limitations existantes de leurs propriétés cherchent à être surmontées grâce au renforcement par des fibres naturelles. Le biopolymère le plus utilisé sur le marché, en particulier dans l’impression 3D, est le PLA grâce à son prix compétitif, […]

Ce projet vise à valoriser les résidus lignocellulosiques en créant des biocomposites imprimables en 3D dans une démarche de développement durable afin de capturer le dioxyde de carbone (CO2). L’acide polylactique (PLA), un polymère biodégradable issu se ressources renouvelables, est associé à du biochar produit à partir de résidus forestiers par pyrolyse, et du tanin, […]
