Les géomembranes sont des barrières utilisées dans les sites miniers pour prévenir la contamination des sols et des eaux. Leur efficacité repose sur une installation sans défaut, mais des erreurs courantes (perforations, soudures défectueuses) compromettent souvent leur performance. Ce projet vise à identifier et prédire les facteurs influençant la qualité d’installation des géomembranes à l’aide […]

This project aims to explore whether brain tissue deformation, observed through a surgical microscope, can be used to estimate instrument-brain contact forces during epilepsy surgery. Two interns will work on key aspects: one will develop computer vision techniques to track tissue deformations in real time, while the other will create machine learning models to translate […]

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) present a significant challenge to organizations due to their sophisticated, stealthy, and persistent nature. Traditional reactive security measures often do not detect these threats in real-time, leaving systems vulnerable to long-term exploitation. This research project will explore how to automate threat hunting to proactively identify APTs in real time, reducing manual […]

L’industrie minière canadienne joue un rôle clé dans l’économie nationale, représentant 5 % du PIB et employant directement plus de 400 000 personnes. Cependant, les arrêts non planifiés des broyeurs SAG Mill entraînent des pertes économiques considérables, atteignant plusieurs milliers de dollars par heure. Ce projet vise à répondre à ce défi en développant une […]

The proposal seeks to improve the technology readiness of a new family of printable (liquid-based) ink formulations designed for the advanced manufacturing sector. These chelated sol-gel materials have a low viscosity, allowing their use in a commercial digital inkjet-printing equipment. Most importantly, they are designed to offer the unique ability to convert from liquid to […]

Nature is experiencing an ever-changing world where dramatic environmental changes require species to adapt rapidly to new conditions. As a result, understanding when species can rapidly adapt and persist has become crucial to ensuring the preservation of vulnerable populations such as freshwater ecosystems. The current project addresses our limited understanding of the parallelism of adaptation […]

This MITACS Globalink Award research proposal aims to engineer and characterize biomimetic dense collagenous gels as in vitro models for studying breast cancer metastasis to bone. At McGill, we have advanced the Gel Aspiration-Ejection (GAE) technique, a robust and simple method to create 3D anisotropic, cellular dense collagen (DC) gels. By applying negative pressure, collagen […]
