The proposed MITACS internship project is an extension of an existing research collaboration in advanced aerodynamic flow control concepts with electro-fluidic actuators between École Polytechnique de Montréal (Polytechnique) and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT-K). The former party is responsible for wind tunnel experiments and the latter party for advanced flow simulations with a […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Cellulose derivatives can undergo various chemical reactions, resulting in materials with better processability and broader applicability. For instance, incorporating cationic or anionic functional groups into these materials enhances their solubility. However, when combining different components to create a product or during the processing, understanding the properties of the modified materials is crucial for predicting behavior […]

High performance carbon fibre thermoplastic composites are experiencing a strong growth in demand. These materials often come in the form pre-impregnated carbon fibre rolls. The impregnating resin being a thermoplastic polymer, the rolls can be stored at room temperature for an indeterminate time. The fabrication of the pre-impregnated thermoplastic composite generates wastes in the form […]

The proposed project aims to study how a novel microRNA can improve heart muscle function in patients with heart failure. This microRNA helps heart muscle cells relax better, which is a key issue in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). By combining the biophysics expertise and force measurements techniques developed at McGill […]

Electrifying the chemical industry is a necessity towards a more sustainable future. A potential approach to achieve this ambitious goal, is the use of plasma catalysis. Herein, a plasma is generated by applying a high voltage to generate a discharge in the gas mixture of interest. In the same volume, catalysts can be packed to […]

Healthcare has been completely transformed by the spread of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, which present before unheard-of possibilities for monitoring, diagnosis, and therapy. Since healthcare data is sensitive, these solutions must ensure authorized access to data while maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and the availability of resources. The underlying security vulnerabilities in IoMT systems can […]

L’évo-dévo est un champ interdisciplinaire en biologie qui part de l’étude du développement embryonnaire pour retracer l’apparition de caractéristiques chez les espèces et leur évolution. Il pose l’idée qu’il existe des biais pendant le développement d’un organisme qui délimitent le champ des possibles (nous n’aurons jamais des roues à la place des jambes). Puisque la […]

This project involves creating a gamified Virtual Reality (VR) experience that simulates the I catheter insertion, providing users with depth perception and spatial awareness crucial for mastering the procedure. The VR application, will be developed in collaboration with Sononurse, aims to improve nurses’ fine motor skills through immersive training with gaming mechanics. The effectiveness of […]

High-purity nano alumina (HPA) has diverse applications in batteries, LED lights, semiconductors etc. In recent decades, several methods have been developed to produce highly reactive and pure alumina at nano scale. Amongst them, microwave (MW) assisted-based methods have been considered promising. The MW-assisted method can avoid the challenges of other methods by enhancing the energy […]

En 1985, la rivière Caniapiscau a été déviée pour la construction du Complexe hydroélectrique La Grande, créant ainsi le réservoir Caniapiscau. En vertu de l’article 6 de la Convention du Nord-Est québécois (1978), la Nation naskapie a renoncé à toutes réclamations concernant la construction, l’entretien et l’exploitation du Complexe La Grande. Cependant, la quittance n’englobe […]

In our project, we’re creating an innovative card game that blends traditional symbols, like those from tarot cards, with modern cultural references to help professionals navigate today’s complex workplace dynamics. The card game, created with different AI tools, aims to encourage strategic and speculative thinking, collaboration, and open-mindedness among employees, making room for a more […]
