A quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a type of magnetic material in which the spins of the electrons are highly quantum entangled. This phase of matter has particularly exotic quasi-particles – ways of increasing the energy of the system that resemble quantum particles, but also have novel properties as compared to those we are accustomed […]

This research project will contribute to the preservation of the existing building stock and mitigate potential seismic risks by developing simplified numerical models to contribute to the seismic assessment of local unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Old URM structures are a prominent building type across Eastern Canada, contributing to the rich architectural heritage and cultural fabric […]

Seaweeds and seaweed products have been promoted in agriculture as source of nutrients and activators, to improve plant growth, plant productivity and food production. A wide range of beneficial effects have been observed, including seed germination, enhanced growth and crop yield, elevated resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. However, the bioactive compounds have not been […]

The Integrated Digital Communications Strategy & Implementation project aims to enhance and improve Tutor Teach’s current digital marketing and social media presence by developing and testing a comprehensive, data-driven strategy. Through research and innovative approaches, the intern will focus on audience segmentation, platform-specific content creation, and targeted digital advertising campaigns. This project will address Tutor […]

This project aims to enhance malware detection capabilities through the use of quantum neural networks (QNNs) and quantum machine learning (QML), leveraging quantum computing principles for superior performance compared to classical neural networks. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, QNNs and QML present promising opportunities for breakthroughs in identifying and analyzing malicious activities. We will […]

This project aims to enhance Tutor Teach’s financial systems by automating processes, integrating accounting platforms, and improving forecasting tools. Building on previous efforts, the intern will focus on streamlining daily operations and increasing efficiency through automation. The integration of our internal accounting platform with external systems, like QuickBooks, will reduce manual input and discrepancies, enabling […]

The extra-terrestrial mass flux on Earth is not well known with uncertainties of about a factor of ten relative to the estimated averages. We use seismological recordings of acoustic waves generated by meteoroids to calculate their mass and energy, because seismic stations are relatively densely distributed and the recordings are freely available. We want to […]

N2SOLVE OVERVIEW: This research pairing between France and Canadian researchers will develop new functional molecules: ligands, transition metal, and main group compounds that promote the equitable use of resources, specifically with regard to the global nitrogen cycle. To ensure the well-being of future generations, innovative approaches that engage sustainable practice must be adopted. With an […]

Le projet portera sur l’étude de l’impact de goutte de fluides complexe qui a de nombreuses applications industrielles ou en géophysique. Nous utiliserons notamment des fluides à seuils qui ont la particularité de se comporter comme des solides lorsqu’il sont faiblement sollicités et comme des fluides quand on a dépassé une contrainte limite dite contrainte […]

Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is a widely studied material for electrocatalysis due to its redox properties and potential as an efficient catalyst for the oxyge¬¬n evolution reaction (OER). However, further improvements in its catalytic performance can be achieved by modifying its surface structure through the incorporation of dopants. This project aims to enhance the catalytic performance […]

This project aims to experimentally investigate the optimal operating conditions for the reactive crystallization of compounds. A stirred-tank reactor will be set-up and the effects of mixing conditions on the resulting crystal particle size distribution will be investigated. Techniques for the online monitoring the reaction process will be explored, which will be used for model […]

The current treatment for blood clots involves administering medications that increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Surgical intervention can be used, however, complex bends in the blood vessels can make it difficult to reach the clot site. Current treatments are not always successful, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as below the knee. Miniature robots offer […]
