Volcanic eruptions commonly involve several magma batches with distinct compositions that meet and mix during or shortly prior to eruption. In some cases, this mixing process can prime or trigger eruptions, as ascending hot and gas-rich magmas can remobilise and mix with cooler magmas stalled at shallower depths and destabilise the magmatic system. We have […]

My research concerns borders, refugees, and protracted transit situations at the periphery of Europe. Following four months of field work in the Western Balkans this summer, I propose to undertake a six-month foreign study period at Aix-Marseille Université under the supervision of Professor Pierre Sintès, an accomplished and renowned scholar, specializing in issues of international […]

Le projet de recherche sera réalisé en partenariat avec le Groupe CANAM, un important concepteur et fabricant de poutrelles en acier en Amérique du Nord. Il vise à concevoir une méthode de calcul de la résistance pondérée en flexion d’extensions en porte-à-faux qu’il est courant de rencontrer sur les poutrelles en acier que fabrique l’organisme […]

In his Treatise of Human Nature, David Hume proposed a new philosophical approach based on what he called “the science of human nature”. This science consisted in a kind of cartography aiming to establish the epistemological possibilities of the human mind considered on the base of its passionate and social dimensions. I argue that at […]

Les drains souterrains sont des tuyaux perméables installés dans le sol afin d’extraire l’excès d’eau souterraine des terrains agricoles humides dans le but d’améliorer la production alimentaire. Lorsque l’eau souterraine s’écoule vers ces drains, le nitrate utilisé comme fertilisant est dissout dans l’eau et est rapidement déchargé aux rivières et à l’océan. Cela cause des […]

As part of my research project dealing with the design of steel open-sections, to be able to realize a 3 months internship at Georgia Institute of Technology, in collaboration with professor Donald W. White would be a real chance. My research studies aim at providing, reliable and simple to use design formulae for steel open-sections […]

The most promising strategy to reduce texturizing ingredients is the incorporation of bacterial cultures that have intrinsic capacity to modulate the texture of fermented milk due to the production of exopolysaccharides (EPS). Yoplait has sequenced the genomes of several bacteria strains that could be introduced as starters or adjunct cultures in yogurt. The main objective […]

Dans l’intention de parfaire notre compréhension des conditions de (sur)vie liées à l’itinérance féminine à Honolulu, ce mémoire empirique cherche à observer quels sont les vécus subjectifs de ces femmes à l’aide de l’approche biographique. Ce projet de maîtrise s’attarde spécifiquement à l’itinérance des femmes autochtones hawaiiennes afin de comprendre, de manière spécifique au genre […]

Mecademic manufactures the smallest and most precise six-axis robot arm. The repeatability of this robot is better than 0.005 mm, but like any industrial robot, the robot’s accuracy is far worse. Although all robot parts are machined and assembled precisely, the only practical way of improving the robot’s accuracy is to calibrate each individual robot. […]

La scoliose idiopathique de l’adolescent (SIA) est une maladie de cause inconnue, affectant 4% de la population pédiatrique et qui implique une croissance anormale et désynchronisé de la colonne vertébrale. Notre laboratoire s’intéresse à la composition de la flore intestinale (appelée microbiote) pour tenter d’expliquer le développement et la progression de la SIA. Dans ce […]

Clusters are a geographically proximate group of inter-connected companies and associated institutions in a particular field, linked by commonalities and complementarities. They have long been recognized as motors of regional economic development. Numerous studies have found their positive influence on entrepreneurship and innovation compared to non-cluster regions. Indeed, there is an ample evidence explaining why […]

My doctoral research deals with the summit of the skyscrapers, considered as a dual device: as seen from the city below, and as looking at it, thanks to the viewing decks they deploy. Whereas their exterior shapes mark the skyline, they offer vantage points for the discovery of the metropolis by the local residents and […]
