One metric of HVAC systems’ performance that is largely underestimated is the efficiency of air mixing in the room, determined by multiple factors including room dimensions, the selection of air inlets and outlets as well as their location in the room. Air mixing can have a significant effect on the energy consumption of HVAC systems […]

This research project aims to mimic the extracellular matrix by decorating the surface of a biomaterial with molecules that can interact with cells. This interaction causes changes within cells depending on the cell type and the type of molecules involved. We will evaluate the effect of four molecules/peptides distributed in different combinations on the surface […]

Ce projet de recherche aura pour objectif d’optimiser l’exploitation et la maintenance de l’un des actifs d’Ivanhoé Cambridge, présent sur la Place Ville Marie. Pour ce faire, ce projet étudiera la piste du jumeau numérique comme outil principal afin d’atteindre l’objectif fixé. Un jumeau numérique est un modèle informatique de l’objet réel permettant de réaliser […]

Healthcare learners use simulations to train their skills prior to treating real patients. These simulations can happen in-person (e.g., role playing) or they can happen virtually using gamified educational software. One drawback of using many of these virtual simulations is that many do not provide the healthcare learner with force-based feedback (e.g., haptics). For example, […]

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the most widely used additive manufacturing technique,involving a movable heated nozzle through which a molten thermoplastic polymer fiber is extruded onto a platform. Deposited filaments weld together and solidify to form a layer, and successive layers form the final part. In most scientific literature, incomplete weld formation between the filaments […]
