Ce stage s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de thèse doctorale visant à théoriser la coopération au travail en analysant les processus organisationnels favorisant le développement du pouvoir d’agir collectif des enseignants et enseignantes, en encourageant leur participation active à l’amélioration de l’organisation du travail. Son objectif est également de consolider la pertinence de cette […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de développer les matériaux biosourcés en collaboration avec les membres chercheurs au Canada, en France et au Brésil. Ce volet sera divisé en trois sessions mais la stagiaire Mme Khouloud Swalmi participera à la session sur la production de matériaux biosourcés, spécifiquement de gels à base de tanins commerciaux venant […]

Plastics play a vital role in our daily lives, touching various sectors such as construction, healthcare, automotive, agriculture, and packaging. Packaging films, in particular, serve diverse purposes for both food and non-food items. However, the widespread use of disposable plastics leads to a significant waste issue. To address this, there’s a growing push to replace […]

Business incubators have the proven ability to significantly improve the success rate of startup companies. A key factor in the potential for positive impact is ensuring alignment between the services and mission of the incubator and the needs and values of the startup company. An in-depth introduction program offers an innovative approach to assessing alignment […]

In Canada, one out of every nine hospital patients acquires infections annually, resulting in a minimum of 8,000 deaths. These infections often stem from inadequate sealing of transepithelial medical devices, which breach the skin’s protective barrier. While current treatments rely on antibiotics, the prevention of infections could be achieved through effective integration of medical devices […]

In this project, we aim to investigate the applicability of a digital micromirror device (DMD) combined with microfluidic devices for the fabrication of complex 3D constructs at a micron scale. The fabricated constructs will be used as microrobots for biomedical applications.

We use all forms of sensory information when directing our movements to ensure that we reach our target. Conversely, when we have conflicting tactile and visual streams of information, like shaving in the mirror, the brain tends to inhibit the tactile information in order to favour our visual information. However the extent to which this […]

Les vieilles forêts boréales sont des forêts à très fort enjeu écologique mais gravement menacées par les activités humaines. D’importantes activités de restauration sont nécessaires pour permettre aux forêts aménagées de retrouver des structures et habitats similaires à celles des vieilles forêts. Le succès de ces approches dépend néanmoins fortement d’une connaissance fine de la […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

In ecological applications, Machine Learning (ML) predictions are used to make predictions about alternative scenarios. Such alternative scenarios however can change the distribution of features that the ML model relies on for predictions. The implication is that such uses-cases implicitly expect the ML model to generalize outside of the observational distribution. Unfortunately, this is often […]

While emotions are an integral part of human self-expression, not everyone conveys their emotions in the same manner. For instance, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience difficulties in producing clear speech due to severe gross and fine motor impairments and existing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices are limited when head and limb […]

The boreal zone of Alberta is fragmented by more than 1 million km of petroleum-exploration corridors. Known as seismic lines, these seemingly innocuous ~2-10m wide clearings influence a host of ecosystem processes and have been implicated in the decline of Threatened woodland caribou. With millions of dollars slated for future restoration programs designed to aid […]
