The proposed project aims to identify functional brain differences between people with different types of central disorders of hypersomnolence (narcolepsy type 1, narcolepsy type 2, and idiopathic hypersomnia) By combining data from over 1,800 participants from research sites across 21 countries, the project will reveal key brain differences that enhance our understanding of the underlying […]

Les données qu’on rencontre aujourd’hui sont souvent de grande dimension. Avec les données génétiques, les signaux et les images, des méthodes d’analyse qui tiennent compte de la taille des données est plus que jamais nécessaire. Chez Hydro-Québec, une nouvelle méthode de surveillance des équipements électriques a été développée, qui fait appel à la théorie de […]

In this project, the intern student is expected to develop develop a data collection tool that can collect data traffic from IoT devices and label them accordingly. The intern student will then use the tool to collect and label traffic from over 100 IoT devices.

Rolling is an important process in metal forming. Through the rolling process, metal billets are turned into sheets or strips for use or further processing. Due to worsening global environmental conditions and higher demands for industrial products, lightweight design has become a trend in fields like automotive and aerospace. Traditional rolled metal sheets and strips […]

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 […]
