In the current functional and structural neuroimaging project, we aim to identify functional and structural changes that correlate with disease presence and its severity (staging) and that can serve as a basis for future development of PD neuroimaging biomarkers. To achieve this objective we will use our expertise in functional neuroimaging of the cervical spinal […]

The goal of this project is to assess the effectiveness of a novel memory training program developed by Dave Farrow, 2 time Guinness World Record winner for best memory. The cornerstone of this program is the concept of memory personalities which posits that 1) the optimal way of processing and organizing information to be remembered […]

Quadrotors are one of the most popular choices for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in situations where fast disturbance rejection, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, and maneuverability are required. However, the quadrotor is inherently underactuated, and as a result, it is impossible to independently control the orientation and position of the vehicle. One solution to […]

Just like for the automotive industry, there is growing interest in the development of fully autonomous trains. One of the key steps in the creation of a fully autonomous solution is optaining an accurate estimate of the train position and velocity. Accurate estimates are critical component of the train safety during operation and better estimates […]

Le projet vise à identifier les secteurs porteurs pour l’économie estrienne. Ainsi, maximiser les retombées économiques d’investissements futurs dans la région sera facilité par la réalisation de ce projet. De plus, des composantes additionnelles permettront, d’abord, de quantifier les besoins de main-d’oeuvre régionaux ainsi que l’offre de main-d’oeuvre, ce qui permettra aux entreprises d’élaborer des […]

Le présent projet vise à mettre sur pied un outil d’intervention utilisant la réalité virtuelle afin de favoriser le développement de saines habiletés sociales et affectives chez les adolescents. En collaboration avec la Fondation Jasmin Roy, le stagiaire sera ainsi appelé à participer à la création de scénarios sociaux qui seront projetés par le biais […]

Major Swedish urban centres are facing a backlog of housing issues, and the recent influx of refugees has done little to lessen the pressure on the Swedish housing, rental and social housing markets. The Swedish government struggles to balance state-led housing and civic interests against the growing market for private speculation and development projects. One […]

IoT devices gather a huge amount of information and, consequently, bring many privacy threats. For example, the huge amount of information collected with IoT devices could be used in individual and behavioral patterns profiling. Thus, new safeguards for privacy and data integrity must be specified. This project aims to resolve data privacy issues using a […]

This research project will explore the German Baugruppe model of housing development—literally ‘building group’—through which multiple households organize themselves into an association and pool resources to purchase land and engage an architect to design a multi-unit complex of dwellings to suit their needs. This model removes the land developer from the equation, thus giving households, […]

La forêt boréale représente avec ses 26% des forêts mondiales un des biomes les plus étendus de la planète. Ainsi, par ses capacités à purifier l’air et réguler le climat, les forêts boréales sont susceptibles de jouer un rôle de poumons. Cependant, en forêt boréale, les échanges atmosphère-biosphère de carbone sont directement influencés par les […]

The proposed research project is aimed at the development of text-to-speech systems that leverage the power of deep neural networks. Our goal is to leverage powerful generated models for speech and combine them with mechanisms to incorporate text information. We hope to explore several such techniques and propose novel methods to achieve this goal. The […]

The groundwater recharge is the quantity of water reaching, through infiltration, the groundwater already existed in the geological formation. The groundwater recharge is considered as relevant parameter for evaluating the water resources. In Nordic countries including Canada, the highest groundwater recharge is often associated with snowmelt, and it is affected by the geology of site […]
