Avant de débuter mon doctorat sur des modèles animaux de valvulopathies au sein de l’institut du thorax de Nantes, je souhaite partir 12 semaines à l’institut de cardiologie de Montréal afin de développer des compétences en termes de dissection embryonnaire et de caractérisation des embryons par méthode de double hybride. En effet, j’aurai l’occasion lors […]

Les surfaces sont exposées au dépôt de divers type de bactéries présents dans leur environnement favorisant par la suite la contamination de la surface. Ceci défini un problème majeur dans divers domaines comme par exemple la diminution des rendements dans les industries agro-alimentaires, pharmaceutiques ce qui a contribué à l’augmentation des coûts de production. Les […]

This project will develop the enabling technologies for next generation infrared sensors. Although infrared imaging was historically developed for military applications, the biggest opportunities for growth are in commercial markets. Infrared imaging is recognized as an important green technology because of its numerous applications in environmental monitoring, thermography, process control, and inspection and maintenance of […]

Dans le domaine de la santé, l’étude de l’immunologie et des maladies infectieuses est un sujet de recherche important, car certaines maladies, tel que le VIH et le cancer, restent incurables à ce jour. Nos recherches s’intéressent à la réponse immunitaire adaptative et plus particulièrement aux lymphocytes T CD8, un type de globule blanc. Dans […]

Les laboratoires Vaporus, une compagnie québécoise reconnue dans le marché des e-liquides et détentrice d’une certification ISO 9001 :2015, possède un strict contrôle de qualité sur les e-liquides qu’elle fabrique et commercialise. Cependant, la compagnie n’a aucun contrôle sur la fabrication des cigarettes électroniques qui se trouvent sur le marché et voudrait savoir si les […]

This research proposal aims to verify the effect of hearing loss on the social participation of Brazilian and Canadian elderly, and, in addition, this study intends to understand which personal and environmental factors influence the social participation of these participants. Will be recruited in a clinical-school of Speech Therapy accredited to SUS, located in the […]

In our experiments with semiconductor microstructures, such as those used for the fabrication of light emitting diodes (LED), our team has discovered that popular LED devices could also be used for the detection of micro-organisms that come in contact with the device. As a result of our almost 5 years of research, we have demonstrated […]

This project is addressed to conduct a full detailed airflow analysis on a 7000XR, a level D full flight simulator. Such machine is equipped with advanced electronic systems such as avionics, flight instruments and collimated visual system, where generated heat affects the user thermal comfort during training. The objective of this study is to perform […]

Querying databases without a layer of privacy protection might lead to serious privacy issues. Such issues include access patterns and communication volume patterns. By combining the state-of-the-art privacy standard (differential privacy) and encryption in provides resilience to a host of attacks on remote databases, including data reconstruction attacks. However, there is still research work needed […]

Power characteristics of CAE equipment are regularly requested by the customers (some customers are penalized by their service providers for poor power factor, etc.), but there are presently no quick and safe means of logging power at the main power distribution and motion control cabinets. The goal of the power logger, to be designed and […]

In the proposed project, we will develop a key piece of technology that will significantly improve interactive simulations of scenarios involving complex multi-body contact. For instance, the simUlation of human or robotic hand grasping of an object involves complicated chains of compliant joints combined with distributed contacts. Multi-legged robots and vehicles in general are similar. […]

This project aims at evaluating whether recent results in deep learning models, trained to exploit weak labels can serve to extract meaningful lesion localizations from image-level labels, either from individual scans or given a (longitudinal) sequence thereof. To this end, we will scale up existing models that have been shown to work on 2D images […]
