La santé et la sécurité au travail reposent en grande partie sur les gestes quotidiens posés par les travailleurs pour se protéger et protéger les autres. Afin de mieux comprendre et soutenir ces comportements, une équipe de recherche québécoise a développé un outil de mesure : l’Échelle de fréquence des comportements préventifs au travail. Cet […]

The project sets out to build the Neural Graph Inverse Problem framework, a common “toolbox” that can reverse-engineer hidden connections within many kinds of network-shaped data — whether those networks come from biological processes, social media interactions, or supply chain optimization problems. By treating each task as a puzzle of working backward from observed data […]

Youth from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to develop heart disease as adults, partly because they face more challenges meeting physical activity, screen time, and sleep recommendations. This study will examine how improving these movement behaviours during adolescence could reduce future health inequalities. Using data from a long-term United States study that has followed […]

La stagiaire participera à la conception d’encres pharmaceutiques pour l’impression 3D de comprimés mâchables destinés à l’usage pédiatrique. Cette nouvelle technologie permet de fabriquer de façon rapide et sécuritaire des imprimés gélifiés contenant une dose personnalisée d’un ou plusieurs médicaments. La stagiaire mettra au point de nouvelles formulations d’encres imprimables et en assurera la caractérisation, […]

Récemment le modèle de pluton source pour la génération de pegmatites lithinifères a été questionné et ainsi d’autres modèles de formation ont été proposés. Les pegmatites lithinifères du projet Shaakichiuwaanaan dans la région d’Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (Québec) se concentrent le long d’un couloir (CV Lithium Trend) de plus de 20 km de longueur sur moins […]

Ce projet de recherche porte sur les politiques d’intégration des personnes immigrantes dans deux grandes métropoles multiculturelles : Bruxelles et Montréal. Il vise à comprendre comment les administrations locales s’adaptent aux défis de la diversité ethnoculturelle et comment leurs actions s’articulent avec celles des gouvernements supérieurs (fédéral, provincial ou régional). En analysant les discours des […]

This project focuses on investigating more efficient and simplified approaches for very short-term precipitation forecasting, known as nowcasting. The goal is to evaluate and adapt lightweight machine learning models that can deliver accurate predictions using fewer computational resources. By reviewing existing models, testing their performance, and exploring ways to simplify their architecture without losing accuracy, […]

Many rural communities in the maritime Provinces rely on groundwater for drinking water supply. There is concern that the groundwater in these areas may become contaminated with naturally occurring arsenic as the climate changes. Climate change effects including rising sea levels, longer summer droughts, and more intense storms may alter the geochemical conditions in the […]

People who use wheelchairs are at higher risk for weak bones because they aren’t putting pressure on their bones—something the body needs to keep bones healthy. When bones become fragile, even small accidents can lead to fractures, which may cause serious complications like infections, pain, longer hospital stays, and even depression. Unfortunately, many wheelchair users […]

Le projet de recherche proposé s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une thèse doctorale intitulée « La fabrication de la catégorie fille-s aux Nations Unies : une autre histoire des droits de l’enfant (1989 – aujourd’hui) ». Il vise à analyser la construction de la catégorie « fille-s » dans le champ onusien des droits de l’enfant, […]

This project aims to improve surgical simulations by developing advanced computer models to simulate how soft tissues behave during surgeries. It will focus on modeling tissue fracture and how surgical tools interact with tissue, considering factors such as tissue anisotropy, residual stresses, and complex tool geometries. Current finite element (FE) models developed at UBC assume […]

This project explores how conflict between parents impacts how children and caregivers manage their emotions in real time. In collaboration with East China Normal University, we will observe emotion regulation patterns in parent-child pairs during structured play tasks designed to simulate both everyday and high-conflict situations. Unresolved parental conflict is a known gateway to intimate […]
