Printed electronics is a fabrication method that allows for the high-volume production of flexible electronic devices, but is limited because it is still too expensive due to the lack of an efficient and effective quality control solution. This project focuses on the transformation of a laboratory-proven quality control method into an industrial-scale prototype product. By […]

Minke whales are common in the North Atlantic, but there are huge gaps in scientific knowledge about the species. Through collaboration with Mériscope, we will attach satellite tags to minke whales that feed in the St Lawrence Estuary (SLE) in the summer to track where they migrate throughout the rest of the year. At the […]

This project is aimed at understanding evaluating and reviewing gene therapy methodologies used in products in development, assessing the risk and safety and regulatory investigations in different regions of the world. There is limited guidance and regulatory expertise in this area and current drug candidates are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the […]

ApSTAT Technologies Inc. provides insurance companies with analytical systems based on exclusive data mining technologies, enabling insurers to maximize the profitability of their operations. The company is working with a large financial institution to develop new financial products based on statistical learning techniques. The research team based at l’Université de Montréal had two objectives. The […]

Touchscreen technologies are making their way into aircraft flight decks as a means for pilots to view and interact with flight data. However, these touchscreens are often placed at arm’s length from the pilot, and all aircraft can experience turbulence. Even without turbulence, helicopter pilots in particular can be exposed to high levels of vibration caused by […]

Bombardier Aerospace, a world-leading manufacturer of innovative transportation solutions, from regional aircraft and business jets to rail transportation equipment, is interested in technology developments that improve aerodynamic design methods. One of their objectives is to improve the process in which aerodynamic parameters are introduced within the optimization process to facilitate the application of geometric and […]

Employee timetabling problems form a large class of widely-encountered issues in service organizations. Often, the issue lies in the design of work shifts, which often have to satisfy many complex regulatory constraints coming from legislation and contractual agreements. The client, Omega Optimisation, was looking for a unified and flexible solution for these shift scheduling problems […]

In many customer surveys and database marketing applications such as segmentation, profiling and predicting consumers’ choices, the joint distributions of covariates of interests are required. However, for variety of reasons, such as protection of clients’ confidentiality, the data are often available only in marginal frequency distribution format. This makes it difficult to use the covariates […]

The goal of this internship project is to optimize Bell Canada’s network engineering processes to better support the complexity of the company’s network technologies. In this project, to maximize network flexibility and scalability and to minimize the costs, the intern proposes to explore an innovative modular approach for network engineering. Each module will have specific […]

This project aims to design a new intelligent recognition system by combining panoramic imaging and retroflexion techniques. Panoramic imaging allows the user to project hemispheric 360º vision onto a 2D detector. The project then intends to couple the panoramic image with the retroflexion image. Retroflexion imaging consists in emitting a laser pulse and observing with […]

NeuroRx is a Montreal, QC-based company which provides professional management of MRI-related study activities and delivers precise MRI outcome measurements that are performed in a regulatory compliant environment. This internship research project will involve image processing to quantify local volume changes in serial MR images of the brain based on deformation field analysis using techniques […]

NeuroRx is a Montreal, QC-based company which provides professional management of MRI-related study activities and delivers precise MRI outcome measurements that are performed in a regulatory compliant environment. The intern’s project will involve examining the computational issues associated with multi-dimensional analysis, namely, the computational efficiency and memory utilization, while creating an N-dimensional algorithm for segmenting […]
