Helmet testing and impact modeling: an approach to better understand the problematic of concussion in short track speed skating

The sport of short track speed skating is an extremely fast paced sport, in which multiple skaters, reaching speeds upwards of 50 km/h, jockey for position on a narrow track. Although skaters wear protective equipment and helmets, concussions continue to plague the health of athletes. Currently, there are no statistics on the ratesand prevalence of […]

Enjeux intertextuels au sein des modifications logicielles de jeux vidéo

L’objectif de mon séjour de recherche à l’Université de Liège est de profiter des installations du Liège Game Lab, un laboratoire se spécialisant sur des questions similaires à celles qui sont abordées dans mon projet de recherche doctoral. En effet, les recherches entreprises par les membres du Liège Game Lab se spécialisent sur les enjeux […]

A preclinical study evaluating INOLIFE’s needle-free injection system (INOJEX) with cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of neuropathic pain and associated anxiety-depressive symptoms in rats.

Chronic neuropathic pain affects millions of Canadians for which the government spends ~$6 billion a year on treatment. It is therefore imperative to find new therapies with few side effects and high therapeutic efficacy. This study will examine the therapeutic properties of cannabidiol (CBD), which is a non-intoxicating component of cannabis. Studies have shown that […]

Comparaison de configuration de systèmes CVCA pour un espace d’agriculture intégré au bâtiment afin d’assurer une performance énergétique.

Ce projet de recherche vise à caractériser la consommation énergétique ainsi que de l’appel de puissance des systèmes permettant le contrôle de la température ainsi que de l’humidité de l’air dans les espaces d’agriculture intégrés au bâtiment (eAIB). Plusieurs configurations de ces systèmes seront analysées afin d’être en mesure d’identifier les avantages et inconvénients de […]

Méthodes de programmation dynamique stochastique pour la planification hydro-électrique moyen-terme sous incertitude

Le but de la planification hydro-électrique moyen-terme est de déterminer la quantité de ressources hydrauliques qui sera puisé de chacun des réservoirs d’un système de production pour répondre à une demande électrique ou en débit. Ces quantités ou politiques s’étendent en général sur des horizons de 1 à 2 années avec des décisions hebdomadaires ou […]

Development of an implantable oximeter for patients suffering from chronic respiratory insufficiency: design and validation of a prototype

Oxygen therapy is one of the most used treatments during hospitalization, especially in patients with cardiac or respiratory diseases. The latest recommendations emphasize the need to titrate oxygen as precisely as for any other drugs to avoid underdosage (hypoxemia) as overdoses (hyperoxia). Two million patients in the US receive oxygen therapy in the long term, […]

Nanoparticle detection and filtering in bottle resonator

I propose to design a platform to detect and filter out particles on the order of 10 nanometers from a liquid in a dynamic environment. An optical cavity confines very large amounts of light is made by modifying a capillary optical fiber for which the light circulates around the outer edge. This large amount of […]

Development and validation of a semi-automated in-situ soil sensor using Vis-NIR spectroscopy

Soil health and fertility has important long-term implications on farming practices. However, farmers and agronomists have difficulties to integrate soil assessment into farming decisions, mainly due to the tedious and long soil sampling process. This project aims at providing an innovative tool for agronomists and farmers to determine instantaneously and accurately several soil characteristics such […]

Development of algorithms and methods for information fusion enabled decisionsupport

In every situation humans make observations and analyse the observed information, by combining and evaluating the relationships between the observation to understand the situation. Often these observations can be uncertain, redundant, from unknown sources, contradictory, and too many for a human to be able to analyse fast enough and correctly, leading to incorrect assessment of […]
