This research proposal aims to automate the Scan-to-BIM Quality Control (QC) process for Modular Off-site Construction (MOC). MOC requires millimeter-level precision, but the 3D scan data (point clouds) consist of raw coordinates without semantic information like wall or floor. Using AI (3D Semantic Segmentation) to automate classification presents a Catch-22 dilemma: training the AI requires […]

This research project aims to develop more practical and efficient methods to verify that quantum devices are working correctly, especially when we cannot fully trust the internal details of the hardware. By relaxing strong assumptions about the dimension of tested quantum devices and deriving clear robustness bounds, the project will help build scalable and robust […]

Modern augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs) display stereo images to the two eyes through a beam splitter and optical lenses that project the images onto a fixed focal plane. When 3D content is rendered at a depth different from this focal plane, users must accommodate to the display distance while converging their eyes to […]

Le projet cherche à moderniser la façon dont on évalue la valeur des immeubles commerciaux au Québec. Aujourd’hui, ces évaluations sont souvent basées sur des méthodes anciennes ou adaptées du marché résidentiel, ce qui ne reflète pas bien la réalité plus complexe du secteur commercial. L’équipe de recherche développera donc de nouveaux outils d’analyse capables […]

Cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex, with attackers constantly changing their strategies to stay ahead of security defenses. Traditional detection approaches often focus on reacting after an attack has already occurred, leaving organizations vulnerable during critical early stages. This research project focuses on four main areas: (1) it uses patterns from past attacks to forecast […]

Ce projet met en valeur le potentiel des EPS issus de souches probiotiques en tant que biomolécules d’intérêt thérapeutique. Nous serons en mesure de démontrer leur efficacité contre les pathogènes responsables des infections, tout en validant et consolidant leurs propriétés anti-inflammatoires sur des modèles cellulaires gingivaux. L’extraction, la purification et la caractérisation approfondie des EPS […]

For more than 20 years, quantum dots have provided profound insights into the quantum mechanical principles governing light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. In the field of solar fuels production, quantum dots have become an essential platform for studying quantum-controlled photocatalysis owing to their tunable electronic structures enable precise control of charge separation and redox properties. […]

This project focuses on developing advanced bone graft materials made from calcium silicates, enhanced with magnesium or zinc ions. These materials are designed to help bones heal faster and reduce the risk of infections associated with implants. During the project, I will work closely with Dr. Barrelet’s team at McGill University to test the biological […]

ServiceNow develops a platform for client organizations to manage and automate large-scale processes across various industries. In 2020, ServiceNow acquired Element AI to strengthen its presence in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) research landscape and the Canadian AI ecosystem. This acquisition enabled the development of AI-driven products that improve the platform’s capabilities. ServiceNow Research has made […]

This project evaluates how augmented reality (AR) guidance can enhance the accuracy and usability of 3D ultrasound reconstruction. By leveraging AR interfaces and camera-tracking technology, the study will compare AR-assisted ultrasound reconstructions with traditional methods, focusing on metrics such as spatial alignment, volume accuracy, and signal quality. Experiments will use controlled setups, including phantoms and […]

VitalTracer is developing the VT-Patch, a wireless medical device designed to monitor vital signs in children, helping them recover safely at home after hospital care. This project will support VitalTracer’s next development phase by organizing clinical insights, defining technical and user needs, and preparing regulatory documents. The intern will lead this work, making sure everything […]

Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre la façon dont les gouvernements locaux peuvent renforcer le lien de confiance et favoriser le dialogue avec la population, au-delà des contextes électoraux ou des mécanismes formels de participation citoyenne. Il s’inscrit dans un contexte où des changements sociaux transforment les dynamiques de communication entre les personnes élues et […]
