In partnership with Labopharm, a leading company in optimizing the performance of small molecule drugs, a complete pharmacokinetic (PK) study of three new formulations of a commercially available drug will be performed. This study will be conducted in order to choose the most appropriate formulation in terms of bioavailability and absorption rate. Pharmacokinetics parameters of […]

The intern will develop a new space-time finite element formulation to solve steady state problems involving high temperature superconductors in order to evaluate rapidly the losses in a given application. This space-time formulation will also be coupled to a mesh adaption program used to refine the solution only where it is really necessary. This formulation […]

The content delivery network market is undergoing rapid growth as a broadband penetration develops and the demand for Internet delivery of high-quality media increases. To facilitate the planning phase of Video-on-Demand (VoD) networks, in collaboration with Nortel Networks, we developed the VoD Equipment Alocation Tool. We define, and propose a methodology to solve, the VoD […]

This internship project aims at creating a system prototype using several surveillance cameras in order to measure customer traffic inside stores. At the moment, most counting methods use sensors that do not differentiate between repeat visits by the same individual and single visits by different individuals. Moreover, these methods cannot always distinguish between potential customers […]

This project involves the modelling and implementation of algorithms using data collected with a laser triangulation camera. This camera is used to produce highly precise three-dimensional measurements inside rooms. It is activated manually or through a mechanical arm and takes measurements along three orthogonal axes.

This doctoral project consists in developing and validating a Fourier transform imaging spectrometer for astronomy applications from 350 to 950 nm. The prototype discussed is called SpIOMM (Mount Mégantic Observatory Imaging Spectrometer) and is developed at Laval University. The concept of such an instrument combines the advantages of a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS), or interferometer, […]

After a ligament injury to the knee, clinicians must decide on an optimal treatment for their patient. In most cases, they prescribe either conservative therapies (physiotherapy with or without orthotics) or surgery (which allows doctors to use two different grafts). The Centre du genou Emovi proposes a biomechanical assessment to better understand the functional status […]

This project will develop classification models in a multi-class and multicriteria context. These models will be based in part on multicriteria decision-making support techniques and statistical learning techniques. The first stage of the project will develop and validate performance measures of the multiclass classifiers. The second stage will develop classification models based on these performance […]

The detection of a power circuit breaker's operation through measuring electromagnetic emissions produced by the arc in the interruptor tube is a promising method for ensuring the remote supervision of these devices and for identifying operation faults before they lead to an explosion. Project researchers will develop an algorithm to determine computationally the position of […]

This project in collaboration with Lockheed Martin Canada and University Laval is on aerial surveillance. The goal is to develop and implement algorithms for the automatic object detection using electro-optics data to be used in conjunction with standard operation with the aim of enhancing the speed and accuracy of the regular detection of objects from […]

We want to study the feasibility of using an algebra-based approach to performing program analysis. In particular, we are interested in the code comparison problem: tackling this problem enables us, among other things, to identify differences between two versions of a code or to check whether an optimized code is equivalent to its non-optimized version. […]

This project aims to develop mathematical models, resolution algorithms, and a decision support tool for the development of game schedules for university sports in Quebec such as football, soccer, volleyball and basketball.
