Les infrastructures d’eau au Québec sont sous-financées, tandis que la consommation par habitant y excède nettement les normes canadiennes et transatlantiques. Cette étude évalue la rentabilité du comptage résidentiel au Québec selon différents scénarios: retours d’information seuls, tarification volumétrique, ou combinaison de leviers de réduction de la demande. L’objectif de ce projet est de formuler […]

Modern biological research relies heavily on antibodies to detect and measure proteins, from genetics research to diagnostics and drug development. Measuring binding kinetics for antibodies is important for inferring specificity, affinity, and its mechanism of action. Existing kinetics assays are powerful, but they often require large sample volumes and provide only averaged signals, making it […]

This research project investigates the esoteric thoughts of the 12th-century Muslim thinker, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Karim Shahrastani, focusing on how his works shaped the theological identity of the Ismaili Shii tradition. By analyzing Shahrastani’s unique use of symbolic narratives to represent spiritual authority, the study seeks to fill a significant gap in our understanding of […]

Les forêts jouent un rôle essentiel dans le fonctionnement des écosystèmes et dans la régulation du climat, notamment par le stockage du carbone et la gestion du cycle de l’eau. Toutefois, les changements climatiques entraînent une augmentation de la fréquence et de l’intensité des sécheresses, ce qui peut fortement affecter la croissance et la santé […]

This project will study how well LoRaWAN can work for direct communication with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to connect IoT sensors in remote “no-coverage” areas. The intern will use a simulation tool to model thousands of devices sending data to a satellite during a single pass and will measure how often messages succeed or […]

Resistive memories have emerged as a pivotal advancement in modern electronics, offering remarkable advantages in energy efficiency, scalability, and non volatile operation. However, TiO2 based OxRAM devices still face key challenges, particularly regarding circuit level variability and the limited number of demonstrations in realistic application settings. This project addresses these gaps by thoroughly characterizing OxRAM […]

I am going to Weimar to study for one semester (from April 2026 to August 2026) at the Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar. I will be hosted by Professor Henning Schmidgen, a specialist in the history and philosophy of science and technology. Professor Schmidgen will lead philosophy seminars in German, which I will attend and for which […]

Chemsex refers to the recreational use of psychoactive substances to enhance sexual experiences and is associated with increased sexual risk-taking and mental health issues, including substance dependence. One of the most commonly used substances in this context is isopropyl nitrite, owing to its low cost, wide availability, and ease of inhalation. In recent years, growing […]

The LoC-SensAl project develops an affordable system to help farmers manage irrigation in real-time using low-cost sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI). One intern will focus on designing the physical sensors to measure soil moisture, while the other will create AI models to turn that data into precise watering schedules. This technology will help farmers save […]

Clean electricity is energy that is both sustainable and non-polluting. Such sources of energy are ideal for mitigating climate change. For the full benefit of clean energy generation to be realized, sustainable practices must be integrated into the development of clean technologies. This requires using materials that are both renewable and recyclable. These can indeed […]

La surface de la glace est le siège d’importants processus moléculaires qui influent sur le réchauffement climatique comme sur la chimie de l’atmosphère. Des phénomènes comme la formation du trou dans la couche d’ozone et les flux (photo)chimiques de NOx émanant du couvert nival dans le milieu polaire sont deux exemples concrets de la catalyse […]

La valorisation des déchets alimentaires constitue un enjeu majeur pour le développement de procédés circulaires et durables. Parmi les voies prometteuses, la récupération du calcium et du phosphore issus de résidus tels que les coquilles d’œufs, les arêtes ou les os de poisson permet la synthèse d’hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), un matériau reconnu pour ses propriétés structurales […]
