Détection, prévision et interprétabilité des sécheresses extrêmes à l’aide de l’intelligence artificielle

Les sécheresses extrêmes constituent un enjeu majeur dans un contexte de réchauffement climatique, affectant l’agriculture, les ressources en eau, la production énergétique et les écosystèmes. Leur caractère multi-échelle, dépendant des interactions entre précipitations, évapotranspiration, humidité du sol et stockage souterrain, rend leur détection et leur prévision complexes. Les indices traditionnels (SPI, SPEI, SSI) apportent une […]

Automated Structural Analysis and Change Detection for No-Code Automation Workflows

This project focuses on developing and evaluating automated methods for analyzing complex no-code automation workflows used in enterprise environments. Platforms such as Workfront Fusion and Make.com allow organizations to build powerful automations quickly, but as these workflows grow in size and importance they often become difficult to understand, maintain, and safely modify. Changes are frequently […]

Preliminary Evaluation of Bonding Polydopamine and Carbon Nanomaterials on The Surface of Fabrics and The Effect on Thermal Conductivity

Intern(s) will help Thermweave develop washable fabrics that move heat away from the body with enhanced thermal conductivity. They’ll develop dip-coating recipes that use tiny carbon-based particles, dip common fabrics (cotton, polyester) in them, and fine-tune steps like time, temperature, and drying. The interns will test how well the fabric moves heat, and how it […]

Digital Twin Technology in Urban Planning: Housing, Biodiversity, and Infrastructure – The case of Dieppe & Moncton (NB)

Rapid urban growth challenges cities with rising populations, infrastructure demands, and environmental sustainability. Traditional urban planning, based on outdated models and fragmented data, struggles to address these complexities. Digital Twin (DT) technology offers a solution by creating dynamic virtual models of real-world environments using real-time data. By integrating sources like geographic information systems (GIS), sensors, […]

Wild Atlantic Salmon Watersheds

The rate and magnitude of environmental change present a threat to freshwater fish populations. In Atlantic Canada the impacts to the freshwater ecosystems will arise through elevated water temperatures, alterations in precipitation, variability in ice cover and frequency of natural and man-made disturbances. In addition, temporal and spatial changes to precipitation alter seasonal flow patterns […]

Chemical reaction mechanisms with eXplainable Machine Learning

Deep learning systems can predict properties of chemical substances but do so in a purely mathematical way. As a consequence, the user does not get any feedback on what are the essential properties a chemical must have to exhibit a certain property. This hampers getting any insight in to the relationship between molecular structure and […]
