In Networked Control Systems (NCS), computation is outsourced to an external party, which we call a controller. This type of service has been gaining popularity in recent years. However, there is the threat of the controller wanting to read the commands passed onto it, thus violating confidentiality. To avoid this, we seek to incorporate cryptographic […]

This research project aims to analyze and compare the environmental impact of various architectures used in activity recognition systems, with a focus optimizing the balance between (enough) quality of service (QoS) and sustainability. Specifically, the project will focus on the data life-cycle that flows through the three distinct architectural approaches—device-based, edge-based, and cloud-based— considering the […]

We aim to develop new techniques in 5-axis Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining and 5-axis 3D printing, which are advanced methods used in modern manufacturing. Our project focuses on creating collision detection algorithms to prevent accidents with expensive machinery, ensuring safety remains a top priority. We also plan to develop tool path planning algorithms to […]

Le stage contribuera à un projet de recherche visant à développer un programme de prévention précoce des cancers professionnels auprès d’une population d’adolescents faiblement scolarisés empruntant le Parcours de formation axée sur l’emploi au Québec. Ce programme vise à préparer ces jeunes au marché du travail en proposant des stages de pré emploi dans un […]

This research project will investigate materials and process behaviors in microelectronic packages that are become increasingly dense and explore novel alternatives to accommodate such densities. When more components are placed and interconnected with each other in smaller and smaller spaces, traditional materials and methods for package assembly become difficult, if not impossible, to replicate. By […]

This project aims to develop an RTL model for a programmable accelerator for hyperdimensional computing (HDC), a brain-inspired approach that uses high-dimensional vectors for data processing. HDC is particularly suitable for resource-constrained environments because it avoids complex matrix multiplications, relying instead on efficient bitwise operations that can be implemented on hardware like FPGAs or ASICs. […]

The proposed project focuses on improving the design and analysis of sustainable aviation technologies by enhancing a Multi-disciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework. This framework will be used to evaluate alternative propulsion systems, such as hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid-electric solutions, and assess their impact on aircraft subsystems, including environmental control and thermal management […]

The research project examines the role of social media in journalism practice. This research project can significantly contribute to journalism studies by providing insights into journalism practice in the country of Georgia related to the news production process. Thus, the research project goal is to write an article as part of the PhD dissertation. It […]

Ce projet propose une formation en ligne axée sur l’esprit critique et la maîtrise de l’information, en mobilisant des disciplines comme la climatologie et les nouvelles technologies. À l’intersection des enjeux contemporains, il aborde des thèmes cruciaux tels que l’infobésité, l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur la désinformation, et les fausses informations touchant le climat et […]

Cell-based biosensors are living cells that have been genetically engineered to detect and measure different chemicals of interest. Similar to the cells in our nose that allow us to smell isoamyl-alcohol (banana), or allyl thiol (garlic), biosensors use protein receptors and produce a measurable read-out such as fluorescence to determine the amount of target molecule […]

Le sens donné à la philanthropie culturelle par les entreprises du Québec est un phénomène ayant été relativement peu étudié jusqu’à maintenant. Or, mieux comprendre cela peut jouer une fonction stratégique pour les institutions culturelles qui, face à un financement étatique insuffisant, cherchent à atteindre une plus grande autonomie financière. C’est le cas du Théâtre […]

Les problèmes de douleur chronique reliés à des troubles musculosquelettiques affectent une grande partie de la population et les coûts directs (visite médicale, traitements, médicaments) et indirects (absentéisme au travail, productivité réduite) sur le système de santé sont extrêmement élevés. Pour améliorer le diagnostic, la planification chirurgicale et le suivi des pathologies de la colonne […]
