Accelerated Time-Stepping for Computational Aerodynamics

The design of next-generation cleaner and quieter aircraft will rely on accurate simulations of turbulent flows. These simulations, referred to as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), are critical in the design of both the external shape of an aircraft, as well as other components such as jet engines and propellers. The industry partner, ANSYS, develops one […]

Cyber-résilience des institutions financières : identification des vulnérabilités et sensibilisation en matière de compromission des identités

Le projet de recherche ci-présent traite de la compromission des identités des clients et des employés au sein du secteur financier et se focalise plus spécifiquement sur trois moyens qui s’y rapportent : l’hameçonnage, le « credential stuffing » et le « password guessing ». Le projet a comme objectif de prévenir ces cyberattaques par […]

Utilisation des techniques d’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer les applications des nouveaux types d’images d’observation de la Terre

Le projet proposé vise à développer des architectures d’apprentissage profond pour analyser divers types d’images d’observation de la Terre utilisées par Effigis. Il est divisé en trois sous-projets, visant chacun un type d’images et d’applications associées. Le premier sous-projet concerne l’identification des bâtiments sur les images satellites à très haute résolution (30 – 50 cm) […]

Collection and transcription of a corpus of aphasic speech for the development of a prototype of an intelligent communication aid application

Aphasia is an impairment of language caused by an injury to the brain. Word finding difficulties often accompany aphasia and can persist even after intensive speech therapy, having a negative impact on the person’s social participation and quality of life. Today’s communication aids can improve the ability to effectively communicate but findings from focus groups […]

Étude comparative de points d’opérations sans charge des turbines hydrauliques à l’échelle modèle – Partie 2

Le projet réalisé dans le cadre de stages Mitacs vise à renforcer et augmenter les connaissances sur la dynamique de l’écoulement traversant les turbines hydrauliques de type Francis lorsqu’elles sont opérées en régimes hors production (sans charge). Ces conditions d’opération de plus en plus fréquentes et faisant partie intégrante des régimes transitoires, telles que les […]

Free-Piston Direct-Drive Thermal Engine for Waste Heat Applications

The research project proposed here takes a radically new approach to on-vehicle electric power generation, with the potential for developing a scalable, flexible, and conceptually very efficient method without the need for complex mechanical off-take. The new method is called the Free-Piston Direct-Drive Linear Generator, a type of Rankine Cycle expansion engine. Excess thermal energy […]

Improve workplace wellbeing using AI and organizational behavior software platform

behaviours within a given organization. This will allow to remedy and/or remove the counterproductive, and to enhance and enable positive behaviours, civility and engagement. The platform that will be developed is unique and distinctly not social feedback nor 360-degree feedback. The cloud-based systems that will be developed should detect, measure, map, correct, and sustain the […]

Design of a highly integrated ultrasonic piezoelectric controller

While touch screens have become the de facto user interface for cell phones, they do not provide any mechanical feedback to the user, unlike standard keyboards and computer mouse where we can feel the buttons springing back against our fingers. This, however, could be replicated through haptic technology, which can mimic various sensations through smooth […]

Towards quantum?encoded optical communications over existing fiber networks

Two fundamental pillars of communications/communications networks are trust and truth; in particular, we must ensure that the message (or data) that a sender wishes to transmit does indeed reach the intended receiver without being altered or eavesdropped by an unwanted party. This project focuses on demonstrating one concept of the quantum internet. The quantum internet […]

Data-Centric Approaches for Vertical Agriculture

This project addresses one of the challenges confronting Vertical Agriculture (VA): the acquisition of added-value data, their analysis and their transmission to enable VA to provide a steady production while minimizing its environmental impacts, manage its yield and allow for a better understanding of its inter-related component. As a starting point, strawberry production is looked […]
