Hotspots of CO2 fluxes in the Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean plays a pivotal role in the climate system by taking up and redistributing heat and carbon globally. This leading order role is attributed to the Southern Ocean’s unique circulation whereby deep waters are brought to the surface by a vigorous wind-driven upwelling. Since these deep waters are rich in dissolved inorganic carbon, […]

Water Monitoring using Flocks of Flying Robots

This project aims at developing an automated system for water sampling along the coast of Nova Scotia using a swarm of flying robots. Currently, water is sampled by hand by teams of 2-5 people each on a number of boats, that must regularly travel to different sites, collect samples, and bring them to land for […]

Valorisation de déchets plastiques dans le bitume

Le bitume est un composé essentiel des enrobés bitumineux qui sont utilisés pour la construction de chaussées. Il s’agit d’un produit issu de la distillation du pétrole brut et qui n’est donc pas renouvelable. Il est important de trouver des alternatives à l’utilisation du bitume afin de rendre l’industrie des chaussées plus écoresponsable. Au Québec, […]

Effects of Partial Shading on Bifacial Photovoltaic Modules

This research project will analyze the effects of partial shading, which photovoltaic modules are subject to. The objective of this research is to elucidate the mechanisms of degradation of partial shading. Investigations in photovoltaic systems will involve the collection and analysis of production data. Measurements of the individual I-V curve of the modules of a […]

Discover anomaly signatures from time series data of telecommunication networks

Failures in a telecommunication network harm the communication quality. Once happened, if the system cannot solve it by self-healing, such anomaly may even result in serious problem and result in massive economic loss. In this project, we will design and develop a system to predict these failures in advance using the status values of the […]

Optimisation de l’ordonnancement des activités de projet en réfection de navires.

Thales développe un logiciel pouvant gérer les activités de projet en réfection de navires militaires. En particulier, ce logiciel permet d’ordonnancer les différentes tâches à accomplir, c’est-à-dire les positionner sur une ligne du temps. L’ordonnancement produit doit tenir compte de la disponibilité des ressources (main-d’œuvre, équipements, espaces de travail) tout en minimisant les heures supplémentaires […]

Post-quantum cryptography for signing software on avionic systems

Avionics on modern aircraft are becoming complex computer systems supported by increasingly sophisticated software. These systems often require software upgrades that are performed during aircraft maintenance on the ground. In order to ensure the integrity of software upgrades and database updates, digital signature of the corresponding data files has been used as means to prevent […]

Transfer Learning for precise detection of individual cells in multimodal microscopic image data

Automatic segmentation and detection of cells is a fundamental task in relevant medical fields such as histopathology, hematology, and cytopathology. Deep Learning methods show promising results, but often require excessive amounts of data, which is a major barrier to entry, especially for experimental cellular imaging data. This project aims to develop a state-of-the-art cell detection […]
