This project focuses on creating innovative, flexible ways for electricity grid operators and groups managing renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries to work together efficiently, even when energy production is unpredictable due to weather or other factors. By reviewing existing research, building computer models for optimal power flow, and testing them […]

The proposed research project aims to digitize information currently locked in image-only PDF files, which are common in government and engineering sectors but are difficult to search and analyze. These documents, which often include technical drawings, forms, and reports, cause inefficiencies and errors due to the need for manual review. To address this, the project […]

The objective of the proposed project is the development of a tethered solar shield to reduce the amount of solar radiation to Earth, thereby opening up the possibility to combat global warming. The intern will work on the following two phases. The intern will begin by carrying out literature review on the designs proposed for […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre comment les professionnels (p. ex., des conseillers pédagogiques ou des psychologues) qui accompagnent des équipes-écoles (p. ex., des directions d’école ou des personnes enseignantes) peuvent les aider à adopter de nouvelles façons de répondre aux besoins des élèves ayant un handicap ou des difficultés d’adaptation ou d’apprentissage […]

Le projet Inh’âge vise à comprendre comment les substances odorantes influencent la respiration, en dissociant les composantes olfactives (floral, boisé…) et trigéminées (piquant, frais…) et en examinant l’impact du vieillissement sur ces interactions. L’expérimentation sera réalisée sur deux groupes (jeunes adultes et adultes âgés) et se déroulera en deux phases : la détermination des seuils […]

This project is a collaboration between Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, and Åbo Academy in Finland. In this research, we focus on replacing harmful chemical ingredients, dispersants, with sustainable, renewable, plant-based materials to develop more environmentally friendly paints. Conventional paints, particularly those formulated with alkyd resins, often release pollutants or harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) […]

Ce projet vise à développer un biocapteur capable de détecter en temps réel la réponse inflammatoire chez les donneurs en mort cérébrale afin d’améliorer la qualité des organes pour la transplantation. Cette inflammation, appelée tempête cytokinique, compromet la viabilité des organes et doit etre traitée “sur mesure”. Le capteur repose sur la technologie SPRI (Surface […]

This project brings together researchers from University College Dublin (Ireland) and the University of Alberta (Canada) to develop smarter ways of modeling radio wave propagation in railway environments. These models help improve wireless communication systems used in train and subway services. The project uses a combination of physics and artificial intelligence (AI), allowing faster and […]

This research project explores how different manufacturing methods affect the durability of 316L stainless steel when exposed to hydrogen, a critical factor for the safety and reliability of future hydrogen infrastructure. The study compares conventional metal processing with two advanced additive manufacturing techniques, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), to […]

The description of solid state systems form an intractable many-body problem as every particle is pushed and pulled due to Coulomb’s law by the other particles. It is almost impossible to directly describe every particle in a macroscopic system (with 10^24 particles). A clever solution involves simplifying the many-body problem into a problem of hypothetical […]

Ce projet de recherche explore l’influence des relations d’attachement sur le développement émotionnel et comportemental des enfants présentant des vulnérabilités développementales. En identifiant les profils d’attachement de ces enfants et en les comparant à ceux d’enfants au développement typique, nous chercherons à comprendre comment ces dynamiques affectent leur adaptation psychosociale. Nous examinerons également l’impact des […]

The main focus of this project is to explore the use of drama and theatre techniques in organizational and management contexts to support transformational learning and enhance professional practice. Through case studies from different cultural backgrounds, the research will examine how applied theatre, as an embodied exploration, facilitates the transformation of organizational knowledge from tacit […]
