Creating computer generated animations and visual effects (VFX) of fluids is a challenging task. The goal of this project is to design novel approaches that ease the creation of fluid simulations for VFX. Four main challenges will be tackled: the simulation of viscous fluids, the gain in geometric details of free surface fluids, the texturing […]

The Novaxe gesture toolkit will be developed conjointly between the music faculty of university of Montreal and OMP Music. This project proposes to develop a hardware and software kit for the automatic transcription and evaluation of gestural parameters of the guitar performance. This will be part of the Novaxe project, an online social network virtual […]

For economical and simplification purpose Operators in the Telecom market are looking to move as much as possible of their infrastructure from traditional deployment to Cloud deployment. However Cloud deployment of IMS still need to be defined and developed. This project aims at bringing further the knowledge for such a deployment and helping guide future […]

The main objective of the project is to provide the Institut de l’OEil des Laurentides (IOL) with the capability of receiving patients from remote locations without requiring the patients to physically come to the IOL. A remote diagnostic tool would allow the IOL to improve the comfort of patients as well as expand its activities […]

The recent work done in collaboration with the group of prof. Bocher on water erosion mechanisms at ETS showed that the erosion in titanium Ti64 alloy compressor blades is based on crack initiation and propagation. These phenomena are dependent on material microstructure, as well as on the stress level. Ti64 alloys can have various types […]

The objective of the proposed research project is to develop a realistic color appearance model based on the human visual system’s functioning that addresses the issue of noise under low luminance levels. This will be incorporated into algorithms used in the color reproduction and retargeting algorithms of OLED displays. This model should give rise to […]

This project is intended to investigate and address some of the challenges in the implementation of high quality factor and compact passive components and structures and their application in implementation of active circuit blocks in integrated circuit silicon technology at millimeter wave range of frequency. Advanced deep sub-micron silicon technologies such as SiGe and CMOS […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est le développement d’un nouveau moteur de positionnement de Delmia basé sur les intentions de l’usager. Ce nouveau moteur positionnera le mannequin de Delmia en tenant compte de la l’équilibre postural, de l’effort exercé par les membres supérieurs sur l’environnement ainsi que la probabilité et la répétabilité de la posture […]

The proposed project studies the noise sources of airplane high-lift devices (HLD) that are responsible for most of the aircraft noise at approach. The latter in turn creates noise nuisances that create health issues to populations close to large urban airports. Two approaches are followed. A state-of-the art simulation that predicts most of the turbulent […]

B. Gosselin and Doric Lenses Inc. have developed the first low-cost wireless head mounted optogenetic device enabling simultaneous biopotential recording and optical stimulation in the brain of freely moving rodents. This project aims at providing such a wireless optogenetic headstage system with user programmable functions, so it can address the dual nature of brain biopotentials, […]

Pulse oximeters are key devices to provide early information on the respiratory and circulatory systems. In addition to be bulky and cumbersome, most commercially available systems lack a wireless connection, which cause numerous inconveniences. This project aims at designing a new wireless ring pulse oximeter which will enable to measure transmitted and reflected light from […]

Remarkably, very little prior work exists in the narrowly defined area of electromagnetic modeling of rocks and minerals. It is admittedly a difficult problem that requires, by definition, a multidisciplinary team with representation from both the mining and minerals domain as well as the EM modeling and simulation domain. Such a collocation of resources and […]
