Ce projet collaboratif vise à développer une ligne de production automatisée pour le moulage de pièces en matériaux composites pour l’industrie automobile. Le procédé de fabrication développé par la société sera doté d’un système de contrôle automatisé Industrie 4.0 ayant l’avantage d’une inter connectivité des équipements de fabrication, ce qui permettra un suivi en ligne […]

“Deliberate Oblivion” is a research project which aim to contribute to my doctoral dissertation “The Nation Under Display”. My proposal seeks to explore how the notion of “oblivion” operated in an active way in museums decision-making processes during the nineteenth century in Latin America. Through this, I want to demonstrate that “oblivion” has a socio-political […]

The incidence of female infertility is on the rise in Canada, afflicting up to 17% of woman between the ages of 18 to 34 and with a considerably higher rate of occurrence in woman over 34. Many infertile women are now turning to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to facilitate conception and child bearing. Female oocyte/egg […]

A new collaboration between l’Institut de Recherche sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon (IRCELYON) and the Catalytic & Plasma Process Engineering Laboratory (CPPE) at McGill is being established. The project aims to utilize dual functional materials (DMFs) for (1) CO2 capture, and (2) subsequent CO2 hydrogenation to methane (CO2 methanation). We intend to couple […]

Frozen clay soils comprise a large portion of permafrost in Canada. Long-term records indicate ongoing global warming has resulted in the thawing of portions of the permafrost area, which leads to the extensive settlement of the ground surface and causing damage to infrastructures. Pipelines are buried below the ground to avoid failure because of the […]

My project conducts a cultural history of the postwar period in North America, by investigating experimental cinema’s entanglement within a network of interdisciplinary and multimedia experimentations. Specifically, I focus on the interactions of filmmaker Stanley VanDerBeek with two interdisciplinary projects that were conceived as investigations on the interrelation of art, new media, technology, and anthropology: […]

Oocyte cryopreservation is imperative for assisted reproductive technologies (ART). It offers cancer patients to preserve their oocytes for future fertilization, flexibility in the timing of infertility treatment, and the potential for establishing oocyte banking. However, the currently available protocol is limited because the oocytes after cryopreservation have lower ability to develop into viable embryos (developmental […]

The proposed project aims at exploring the technical and financial feasibility of employing cutting-edge solar technologies and design strategies in the retrofit of large commercial buildings, and application to a case study in Schefferville. The research consists of two main design 1) incorporating commonly existing PV panels into Rainscreen cladding, to act as the outer […]

Le projet génèrera des connaissances sur les mesures d’adaptation du cadre bâti aux inondations à l’échelle des bâtiments et des communautés. Ce projet comble un manque d’information sur les manières d’habiter et de planifier les zones inondables constructibles au Québec. L’analyse de cas de défaillance de mesures de protection contre les inondations permettra le développement […]

Clinia utilise une méthodologie de développement Agile. L’équipe recherche, dans laquelle la stagiaire sera intégrée, est composée d’une gestionnaire produit, d’un chef d’équipe, de plusieurs développeurs en apprentissage-machine, d’un développeur spécialisé en données et d’une analyste de données, en plus des deux taxonomistes. La méthode agile est appliquée à la lettre pour la durée du […]

Et s’il existait une tomate vraiment montréalaise ? Une tomate à la fois productive et adaptée à ce terroir urbain si particulier ? Que les variétés de tomates disponibles chez les semenciers montréalais soient ancestrales ou nouvellement créées, Ahmed Jerbi va explorer cette agrobiodiversité pour découvrir celles qui répondent le mieux aux conditions de cultures […]

Cellulose as the most abundant natural polymer is produced is produced by trees, and some microorganisms. Certain types of aerobic bacteria such as Gluconacetobacter xylinus are able to biosynthesize a unique extracellular form of this polysaccharide, known as bacterial cellulose (BC). However, Similar to other nanocelluloses, BC exhibits properties such as insolubility in common solvents […]
