Ce projet vise à mieux comprendre comment différentes personnes cohabitent sur et autour des voies cyclables : cyclistes, piétons, personnes en fauteuil roulant ou utilisant une aide à la mobilité, personnes aveugles ou malvoyantes, et utilisateurs de trottinettes. Avec la popularité croissante du vélo et de la mobilité active, ces espaces deviennent des lieux où […]

This project aims to make power grids smarter and more efficient by using a type of artificial intelligence called Graph Neural Networks along with Deep Reinforcement Learning. Just like a GPS finds the best route for a car, our system will find the optimal paths for electricity to travel, especially from clean but unpredictable sources […]

This project will explore how extractive industries, such as offshore oil and gas, have affected the Maria Joaquina Quilombola community in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Using participatory methods, such as community workshops and mapping, the study will document how the community has experienced social cumulative effects. The project seeks to enhance understanding and evaluation of […]

This research project makes use of computer-based models in order to investigate the high temperature behavior of Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors. The GaN technology is finding more and more applications in different sectors like energy, transportation, and industrial systems due to the possibility of making power converters smaller and more efficient. The understanding gained […]

This project will develop an easy-to-understand and transparent machine learning system that helps identify the best residual materials to clean up environmental contamination, especially in areas affected by mining. Materials such as biochar, zeolite, dolomite, and wood ash are already known to help remove pollutants like heavy metals, phenolic compounds, acid mine drainage, and gases, […]

This project will explore how balance-based physical activities such as tai-chi, yoga, dance, and martial arts may help protect memory, thinking, mobility, and overall brain health as people age. Although many studies show that lifestyle habits can support healthy aging, much less is known about how different countries measure brain and cognitive health in older […]

Le diabète de type 2 est une maladie chronique en forte augmentation qui touche des millions de personnes et représente un défi majeur pour les systèmes de santé. Il résulte de l’interaction de plusieurs facteurs, dont la génétique, l’état de santé, le mode de vie et l’environnement. Une détection tardive peut entraîner des complications graves, […]

Dans notre monde automatisé et interconnecté, la cybermenace connaît une hausse spectaculaire, avec des attaques informatiques de plus en plus fréquentes et sophistiquées, y compris sur des infrastructures critiques. Ce projet analyse les risques causés par ces cyberattaques sur des secteurs d’activités indispensables à la sécurité et au bon fonctionnement de la société, tels que […]

Dans un contexte de transition énergétique, le Québec prévoit accroître sa production d’énergies renouvelables comme l’éolien et le solaire. Cependant, cette évolution ne peut reposer uniquement sur de nouveaux investissements massifs dans les infrastructures électriques. Les Non-Wire Alternatives (NWA) telles que la gestion de la demande, le stockage d’énergie, les microréseaux ou les plateformes numériques […]

The project will examine how Estonia incorporates civilian experts and volunteers into its national cyber defence, and what ethical, legal, and governance challenges arise from this growing role. By reviewing existing research, mapping Estonia’s cyber-volunteer ecosystem, and speaking with experts, the project will identify how democracies can safely and responsibly work with civilian cyber operators. […]

Many bacteria live in environments where food and energy are scare. When this happens, they may start copying their DNA and then run out of resources mid-way, puuting their genetic material at risk of damage. This project will study how Escherichia coli protects its DNA under sudden nutrient starvation. We will track whether cells finish […]

Polyamide (PA), particularly PA6 and PA66, is a vital engineering polymer used in automotive, aerospace, electrical, and textile industries because of its strength, heat resistance, and durability. However, most commercial grades are petroleum-based, energy-intensive, and difficult to recycle due to strong hydrogen bonding and high melting temperatures. In Canada, the recycling and upcycling of polyamide […]
