Despite the monumental advances made in classical computing technology over the past decades, computationally expensive tasks are still presenting daunting challenges to researchers and industry. Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many facets of information technologies by pushing the frontiers in various fields ranging from machine learning to cryptography. This research project aims at […]

Prior doing any type of construction that causes soil disturbance (digging, trenching, etc.), it is imperative to acknowledge which infrastructures such as water ducts, sewerage, electricity cables are buried. The GPR approach is recognized as performing to obtain the location and depth of underground objects but it shows some drawbacks. The proposal is to improve […]

Cintra Canada Inc. has conducted several research studies on the advantages of implementing managed lanes (lanes where operational/management strategies are implemented in response to varying travel demand/supply conditions) with the focus on the travel speeds, road capacity, and air quality benefits. However, no study to date, has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the system-wide welfare […]

The internship will consist of studying, building, implementing and testing so called factors that are used to characterize the equities, commodities and currencies that the company invests in. These factors can be thought of as characteristics relating a group of securities that is important in explaining their returns and risk. My task will be first […]

Ciena, the network specialist, is collaborating with Universities and SMEs in Ontario and Québec in order to develop an ecosystem that accelerates advanced research and development activities in the fields of high-capacity optical transmission systems, software defined networks, business intelligence and process automation. A steady-state of over 50 Masters, PhD and Post-Doc students per year, […]

Space structures must be designed to resist the harsh space environment, which include but it is not limited to atomic oxygen, ionizing radiation, charged particle plasma, man-made debris and micrometeoroids. Thus, the spacecraft must be designed to have high stiffness, low thermal expansion and high dimensional stability. Composite materials can be designed to fulfill those […]

Les changements climatiques auront des effets importants sur la forêt canadienne. L’augmentation de la température combinée à des précipitations stables pendant la période de croissance, amèneront une diminution du contenu en eau des sols forestiers et augmenteront la probabilité de sécheresse intense dans le futur. Malgré quelques études récentes, les impacts sur les forêts au […]

Les sols contaminés sont une problématique environnementale importante au Canada. La phytoremédiation (l’utilisation de plantes afin de décontaminer les sols) est une approche efficace qui s’inscrit dans un contexte de développement durable. L’étape subséquente est l’intégration de la phytoremédiation dans un contexte plus vaste d’économie circulaire permettant le développement économique tout en étant socialement acceptable. […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet, l’étudiant-e stagiaire évaluera l’impact d’un supplément quotidien de poudre d’algues brunes (InSea2) sur différents paramètres liés à la prévention du diabète chez une population à risque. L’étude évaluera également la contribution du traitement sur la perte de poids associée à un programme de perte de poids modérée. Le (la) […]

La réaction de carbonylation du méthanol a été mise au point dans les années 40 par l’équipe de chercheur de la compagnie Monsanto. Ce procédé permet la production d’acide acétique et s’effectue jusqu’à maintenant en phase liquide sur des catalyseurs à base de Rh. Enerkem Inc. a développé un procédé de carbonylation de méthanol en […]

Surrogate safety analysis is a growing field of road safety where the diagnosis is based on direct observations of traffic and events with some relationship to accidents, in particular traffic conflicts or near misses. Such proactive methods have several advantages, such as shorter observations periods, lower costs and better insights into accident processes. Yet, their […]

Thermoforming is an industrial manufacturing method to form plastic sheets into shapes such as small boats. Our industrial partner uses twin-sheet thermoforming which includes joining two sheets of high density polyethylene (HDPE) to manufacture small boats. Cracking adjacent to the welded area has been observed in one of their joint designs. The cracking problem appears […]
