Tasiutigiit Association is a non-profit organization which started in the early 1990s to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system. It is evident that support for cross-cultural families is needed, including cultural competency/allyship programming and opportunities for the children to remain connected to their communities of origin. This year, Tasiutigiit was […]

Ce projet de recherche explore l’influence des relations d’attachement sur le développement émotionnel et comportemental des enfants présentant des vulnérabilités développementales. En identifiant les profils d’attachement de ces enfants et en les comparant à ceux d’enfants au développement typique, nous chercherons à comprendre comment ces dynamiques affectent leur adaptation psychosociale. Nous examinerons également l’impact des […]

This research project aims to revolutionize heating and cooling systems in buildings by combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and solar energy. By developing smart algorithms, the HVAC system will adapt to changes in the environment and occupancy patterns, ensuring optimal energy use and reducing environmental impact. The intern will design simulations to evaluate performance, compare results […]

Inflammation is an undesirable effect that can be caused by the high level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidant molecule. This inflammation is found mostly in small and large intestines area. Catalase, is a protein (antioxidant agent). It is able to decompose large quantities of H2O2 into water and oxygen and thus, eliminating this harmful […]

The timber-harvesting and processing industries anticipate that the use of robotics and AI technologies will increase productivity, safety and job satisfaction of machine operators to help address the shrinking labor force. We have engaged with our partner, FPInnovations, on research to increase the autonomy of log-loading machines with the goal to demonstrate the technology on […]

This research project aims to develop an innovative blood test for earlier detection of an important subtype of lung tumors, known as neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Unfortunately, these tumors are too often diagnosed late and are difficult to treat. Our approach is to exploit a specific characteristic of neoplasms: tumor cells adapt the way they generate […]

Le réchauffement climatique apporte son lot de défi. Les infrastructures vertes, telles que les plantations d’arbres, peuvent offrir un potentiel de séquestration du carbone, mais aussi d’atténuation des impacts négatifs. Ce stage s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet Demain la Forêt qui évalue le potentiel d’implantation d’infrastructures vertes dans des coulées agricoles au Québec. Les […]

The main focus of this project is to explore the use of drama and theatre techniques in organizational and management contexts to support transformational learning and enhance professional practice. Through case studies from different cultural backgrounds, the research will examine how applied theatre, as an embodied exploration, facilitates the transformation of organizational knowledge from tacit […]

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny, membrane-based particles that cells release into various bodily fluids. They serve as messengers, facilitating communication between different cells in the body and, therefore, playing pivotal roles in modulating various biological processes. They achieve this by transporting a diversity of bioactive cargos, including RNA molecules. Over the past decade, our understanding […]

Les revêtements à base de complexes polyélectrolytes (CPE) sont de plus en plus reconnus pour leur capacité à protéger et à conférer différentes propriétés à de nombreux substrats tels que le textile, le bois et le papier. Composés d’un polyanion et d’un polycation qui se lient par interactions électrostatiques, ces systèmes offrent l’avantage de pouvoir […]

Depuis environ une décennie, il est possible d’observer en Europe une recrudescence de l’intérêt envers la production de biogaz. Ce dernier revêt un intérêt particulier en ce qu’il permet une réduction de la dépendance envers le gaz naturel, tout en offrant une perspective de valorisation des résidus putrescibles. Depuis quelques années maintenant, cet intérêt envers […]

Reinforcement learning algorithms are successfully employed in diverse industries, for instance in autonomous driving, trading or gaming. However, their generalization especially in critical-decision making systems has raised concerns about their robustness to attacks. The 22nd recommendation issued by the White House (2016) to prepare for the future of AI states: ”Agencies (…) should ensure that […]
