The rapid growth of artificial intelligence workloads, cloud computing, and resource-disaggregated services is significantly increasing traffic inside data centers, pushing conventional electrical switching architectures toward limits in bandwidth density, power consumption, and I/O scalability [1]. Electrical switching fabrics require multiple tiers and repeated opticalelectrical-optical conversions, which increase latency, energy consumption, and operational complexity as network […]

Dans un contexte de changements profonds du marché du travail, de perspectives plus incertaines pour la jeunesse et de restrictions budgétaires des programmes de jeunesse au Québec, l’étude proposée vise à observer et comprendre les transformations en cours dans les politiques de jeunesse-emploi sur une décennie (2015-2025), à travers l’étude de cas des Réseaux des […]

Bacterial infections continue to cause a large number of deaths around the world, and the problem is getting worse as many bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics we rely on. New medications are urgently needed to successfully treat these infections. This project aims to address this need by discovering how certain bacteria are able to […]

Ce projet propose une approche intégrée, combinant modélisation mécanique et apprentissage automatique, afin d’estimer quantitativement la durée de vie en fatigue et de prédire la durée de vie restante (RUL) des matrices. La démarche repose d’abord sur le développement d’un modèle numérique par éléments finis (FEM) de la matrice, intégrant des chargements représentatifs des conditions […]

Face aux bouleversements actuels de l’économie mondiale et aux tensions géopolitiques, le Canada et le Québec ont fait de la diversification de leurs partenaires commerciaux une priorité stratégique. L’Asie du Sud-Est, région en forte croissance et au cœur des échanges mondiaux, occupe désormais une place centrale dans cette orientation. Si les stratégies canadiennes vers l’Indo-Pacifique […]

The proposed project represents a strategic expansion within a larger, multi-phase research initiative aimed at advancing biogas utilization into renewable energy solutions. Currently, the first phase, funded by MITACS, is actively developing advanced purification technology for biogas using Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) filtration materials. The second phase, which includes the current project, builds upon this foundation […]

This project aims to improve how scientists use sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) to study past biodiversity in lakes affected by metal contamination. Sedimentary DNA preserved in lake sediments offers a powerful way to reconstruct long-term ecological changes, but high concentrations of trace elements can interfere with DNA preservation and detection, making results difficult to interpret. Through […]

This project investigates how the concept of resilience is used and understood in Canadian sustainability discourse, especially in policy documents and public reports written in English and French. Resilience is a key term in climate and sustainability discussions, but its meaning often difficult to grasp; resilience can be used as a property of communities, governments, […]

The St. Lawrence Platform in southern Quebec is a series of Cambrian-Ordovician (539-443Ma) sedimentary rocks containing K-bentonites, altered volcanic ash beds. These ashes have zircon and apatite, minerals that are difficult to alter, retain the original characteristics of the ashes and can provide distinct chemical fingerprints associated with separate eruptions. The presence of bentonites in […]

This project explores how young people in the global South, especially young women and girls, are taking active roles in addressing climate change and gender inequality. It focuses on youth groups and networks in the Caribbean and looks at how they bring gender concerns into climate action in ways that can open new paths for […]

La transformation numérique de l’enseignement supérieur transforme profondément les modes d’apprentissage et le développement des compétences des étudiants. Face à des parcours d’apprentissage de plus en plus diversifiés et à une forte demande de flexibilité, les universités doivent repenser leurs pratiques pédagogiques. Le microlearning, fondé sur des contenus courts, ciblés et accessibles à la demande, […]
