The race to the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm is fueled by leading technological enterprises and governmental institutions for a fast transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution where machines, sensors and actuators can communicate and process data to enable a more efficient production cycle. To pave the way for the advance in IoT, next-generation wireless […]

The proposed research project concerns the development of optimization tools and sizing methodologies used to assess optimal structural airframe configurations and aerodynamic lines for given business cases. A PDF intern will be in charge of proposing improved optimization strategies, mainly related to composite material, and of adding specific capabilities inside the internally developed sizing tool […]

The integration of new technologies, on both supply and demand sides, with the existing energy infrastructure, is always a challenging ta sk. First, the a mount of energy demand must be predicted to manage the needs of deploying in the future. Second, the predicted energy must be introduced to a simulation tool (e.g., PTDC) to […]

La majorité des personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques souhaite participer activement dans la prise de décision concernant leur santé notamment en étant mieux informée. Un portail Web en santé peut être une des solutions. Ce projet a pour objectif de mieux connaître les utilisateurs d’un tel portail afin de l’adapter et de répondre pleinement aux […]

Les agents conversationnels ont révolutionné la manière d’interagir avec les fournisseurs de service, mais re-quièrent d’être correctement entraînés par rapport au domaine d’application visé. L’outil Olivo développé par Koïos Intelligence vise à offrir une expérience interactive, guidant l’utilisateur au travers des processus de pré-vente, de vente et d’après-vente pour tes les types d’assurances. Son amélioration […]

Small plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are found in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Their effects on organisms and human beings are still unknown. Microplastics and nanoplastics found in the environment will be weathered, coated, and/or fragmented. Yet, the effects of these modifications on microplastic and nanoplastic removal during water treatment are yet to be thoroughly […]

This project will use speculative design methodologies to create wearable technologies (wearables mounted with sensors that can be worn), capable of sending, receiving, and sharing sensory information across differently-abled human bodies. As the participants with different body structures, mobility, and agility move in space wearing aforementioned wearable technologies, proprioceptive information (sense of balance and body […]

Evidence summaries, combined results from different primary studies, are critical for the development of health policy and clinical practice guidelines. However, traditional systematic review methods tend to be long and expensive. Rapid reviews (RRs) and living systematic reviews (LSRs) have been created to address the need to support these limitations. Although these methods streamline the […]

My research examines the significance of opposition to large-scale land deals for electoral democracy and citizenship in Senegal. Since 2007, there has been a dramatic surge in land acquisitions in the Global South. These projects, because they often encroach on community farmland and pastures, can profoundly damage rural livelihoods. In Senegal, aggrieved populations across the […]

As part of their strategic plan execution, WADA has recently created a Strategic Management Office (SMO) to strengthen the project management capabilities of multidisciplinary teams and to ensure a sustainable alignment between the organization’s strategic plan and the priorities embedded in the teams’ activities. As the organization is implementing its project management framework, a first […]

Comment une communauté engagée, à petite échelle, peut-elle prendre vie par et à travers les médias? Partout dans le monde des groupes de citoyen·nes engagé·es pour diverses causes font exister leur action à travers des objets médiatiques. Avec des pages Facebook, des comptes Instagram, mais aussi des infolettres, des zines ou des podcasts, ces groupes […]

La transition énergétique vers des systèmes de propulsions électriques s’accélère. Les batteries sont aujourd’hui des sources d’énergie essentielles aux véhicules y compris les drones. Cependant, la densité énergique limitée des packs de batteries combinée à la forte demande mondiale de cette source d’énergie sont des facteurs qui empêchent le prix de réduire rapidement. Afin d’augmenter […]
