The research problem to be addressed is the pickup and delivery problem (last mile) with precedence constraints for the pickup/delivery operations, and time windows. The objective is: (i) the design of a new algorithm that will use the algorithm of Curtois et al. [6] as a starting point, and to generalize it with precedence constraints, […]

Cardiovascular clinical trials try to demonstrate the benefit of a medication on populations where the number of participants with the targeted disease is very low. The low efficacy of treatment is partially due to the diversity of diseases and of the population. To improve the efficacy of treatment, it is necessary to improve the recruitment […]

The analysis of large, complex data helps scientists from different fields (e.g. physics, chemistry, biology) to provide new insights on their research. The field of neuroscience is no different. Larger and more complex studies which create huge amount of data are more and more common. Thus, the development of tools capable of processing large datasets […]

As many of the existing buildings are reaching almost the end of their actual design life, new buildings are replacing them with more innovative and complicated technologies. At the same time, there are concerns and uncertainties about probabilistic structural failures and undesired structural system behaviors. The performance of these building under loads such as earthquakes […]

The proposed project aims to develop some novel mathematical tools to ensure the safe design and operation of crosswind kite power systems (CKPS). CKPS are part of an emerging wind energy technology, which harness from naturally strong steady winds at high altitudes, where the airborne energy harvesting device is kept aloft using very light tethers. […]

Les troubles du comportement alimentaire (TCA) sont reconnus depuis plus de trois siècles par le Manuel Diagnostique et Statistiques des Troubles Mentaux (DSM). Cependant, cette classification diagnostique ne permet pas de prendre en compte la majeure partie de la population qui présente des attitudes et des comportements alimentaires inappropriés (ACAI), pouvant mener à un TCA. […]

Governments around the globe are pressing the automotive industry to reach lower emission and better efficiency with various specifications targets and regulations. With the increasing amount of electric vehicle models that are available and the higher demand on the market, major OEMs are looking for components to differentiate themselves and offer competitive solutions. As the […]

Ce projet de recherche est intimement lie à l’optimisation et au contrôle qualité d’une technologie verte associée au recyclage du polystyrène (PS). Durant ce procédé, le PS contaminé provenant du consommateur ou simplement de rejets industriels est mis au contact d’un solvant qui a pour but de le solubiliser, puis d’un autre pour le précipiter. […]

Skill is an open-source standard format for resume writing that is optimized to be processed by AI systems. It can remove the hassle and stress of fully expressing themselves from job seekers and eliminate the hassle of finding the best candidate from employers. As AI systems grow more popularity in different fields, Skill will provide […]

Organic nutrient use in hydroponic solution increases the sustainability of these systems by using waste. These solutions can be adequately reused if real-time nutrient concentration calculation is made with the use of electrodes. With the use of Ion Specific Electrodes (ISE), the relative absence or presence of an element can be calculated in real time. […]

The latest cybersecurity incidents (e.g., Desjardinds, CapitalOne) have shown that the current cybersecurity solutions are not always effective in capturing and preventing attacks, especially when it comes to insider attacks that originate from within the targeted organization. In this project which will be conducted in collaboration with Xpertics, we aim to build a new solution […]

The Automotive Industry is one of the most mature and has undergone several waves of digital transformation. We focus on one segment of the value chain where IT adoption has not yet had the expected impact, namely dealer-prospect relationship management. While Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions and methods have been widely adopted, there remains several […]
