In satisfaction of my PhD dissertation at McGill University, I intend to conduct both archival and field research on Ottan Thullal, a classical art form from Kerala, India. This surviving art form embodies an intangible cultural heritage which is on the verge of disappearing from the historical record. This dissertation aims to trace the historical […]

This research is based on the study of two cities, Montréal and Curitiba. This study will focus on the implication of these cities regarding sustainable development. The first part of the study will be a discussion about the factors that makes them sustainable. To conduct this study, there will be an analysis of the existing […]

Dans un but de développement économique et de revitalisation du centre-ville de Sherbrooke vient s’inscrire le projet du quartier de l’entrepreneur : Well inc. Un quartier dédié au développement entrepreneurial à Sherbrooke. Les enjeux principaux sont de fournir à la communauté et aux entrepreneurs des services, des ressources et des outils pour les soutenir dans […]

Critical systems such as transportation systems require a high level of safety that can only be achieved with formal proof. Such formal proofs are typically expressed in some logic that can be verified by theorem provers. The diversity of theorem provers and logics has a negative consequence: the same theorem is proved many times and […]

As a part of work between the hospital of Rennes and the VisAGeS team, the EMISEP project focuses on multiple sclerosis (MS) which affects the spinal cord. We address the evaluation of the potential of focal lesions and diffuse lesions observed using diffusion MRI early in the disease course to predict the EDSS at 5 […]

Quantum circuit components will always be unreliable. To protect quantum information from becoming corrupted, we require quantum error correcting codes. The drawback is that quantum error correcting codes necessitate a trade-off – the better the code protects information, the more resources it requires to be sustained. Our current resource estimates to construct useful quantum circuits […]

Fiber lasers have become the fastest-growing laser with a projected worldwide revenue up to $1.41 billion in 2017. In particular, fiber lasers at 1.65 ?m have drawn increasing attention with potential applications in chemical sensing, LIDAR and spectroscopy. All-fiber Raman lasing technology is a promising and efficient technology to achieve high power lasing at 1.65 […]

The project aims to translate developments in ultra-sensitive MRI sensors to a clinically-relevant setting. To create high-sensitivity sensors for better images, we aim to create a tight-fitting system which places the sensors—akin to antennas—closer to the brain. This will improve the quality of the signals that we can extract from the brain, and allow us […]

This project aims at evaluating whether recent results in deep learning models, trained to exploit weak labels (Hwang, 2016) can serve to extract meaningful lesion localizations from image-level labels, either from individual scans or given a (longitudinal) sequence thereof. To this end, we will scale up existing models that have been shown to work on […]

Traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, are rapidly being depleted. Furthermore, CO2, one of the byproducts of burning these fuels, increases environmental risk such as climate change. Therefore, novel renewable energy paths are being developed to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels. Hydrogen, a clean energy carrier, is considered to be the best alternative […]

Les budgets globaux de carbone considèrent que les rivières transportent passivement le carbone terrigène vers les océans. Seulement, les rivières sont un lieu de transformation biologique et de transfert vertical du carbone du sédiment à l’atmosphère. Des échanges avec les eaux souterraines y ont également été mis en évidence mais sont encore peu ou mal […]

The research project I propose concerns the mobile application market in a developing country. In order to provide a complete analysis, I must define what makes Curitiba city favourable to a mobile application market and what people are seeking through mobile applications on the market. Furthermore, this project must reveal how the demand meets the […]
