Dans le cadre de mon projet de maîtrise, je recherche un produit ayant un contenu élevé en polyphénols qui permettra de renforcer le verrou enzymatique et ainsi diminuer la décomposition de la sphaigne en tourbière exploitée. Comme les sphaignes sont à la base de la formation de tourbe dans les tourbières ombrotrophes, la diminution de […]

De nos jours, le concept de matériaux multifonctionnels combinant diverses propriétés pour réaliser des objectifs de performance multiples en un seul et unique système est devenu une prérogative dans le développement de surfaces innovantes. Cependant, un des principaux verrous est l’obtention de revêtements formés de nanoparticules isolées (non-agrégées) dispersées de manière contrôlée dans une matrice. […]

The proposed research aims to develop an innovative control framework to deal with safety-critical systems in which the plant’s safety constraints must be fulfilled regardless of the possible presence of unpredictable disturbances and measurement noise. The technology developed by this project is expected to be beneficial in different application domains of current interest to Quebec, […]

“Deliberate Oblivion” is a research project which aim to contribute to my doctoral dissertation “The Nation Under Display”. My proposal seeks to explore how the notion of “oblivion” operated in an active way in museums decision-making processes during the nineteenth century in Latin America. Through this, I want to demonstrate that “oblivion” has a socio-political […]

This Mitacs project aims to exploit synergies of particle accelerator experiments at GSI (Germany) and TRIUMF (Canada) with the mutual motivation to further our understanding of the synthesis of the elements in stars. To get insights into how the large-scale nuclear conversions occurring in, e.g., supernova events are responsible for the element generation in detail, […]

A new collaboration between l’Institut de Recherche sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon (IRCELYON) and the Catalytic & Plasma Process Engineering Laboratory (CPPE) at McGill is being established. The project aims to utilize dual functional materials (DMFs) for (1) CO2 capture, and (2) subsequent CO2 hydrogenation to methane (CO2 methanation). We intend to couple […]

Frozen clay soils comprise a large portion of permafrost in Canada. Long-term records indicate ongoing global warming has resulted in the thawing of portions of the permafrost area, which leads to the extensive settlement of the ground surface and causing damage to infrastructures. Pipelines are buried below the ground to avoid failure because of the […]

My project conducts a cultural history of the postwar period in North America, by investigating experimental cinema’s entanglement within a network of interdisciplinary and multimedia experimentations. Specifically, I focus on the interactions of filmmaker Stanley VanDerBeek with two interdisciplinary projects that were conceived as investigations on the interrelation of art, new media, technology, and anthropology: […]

This internship will explore the ways in which a learning ecosystem model could be used to improve the K-12 learning experience in the Livingstone Range School Division, located in Alberta.

The Highbanks Society, located in Calgary, Alberta, provides long-term, safe, affordable housing and social programs that provide security, stability, and eliminate barriers to growth for pregnant or parenting women between 16-24 years of age. This internship will assess the impact of the current Highbanks Society housing program ‘Homes for Heroes’ and identify opportunities for expansion, […]

Cellulose as the most abundant natural polymer is produced is produced by trees, and some microorganisms. Certain types of aerobic bacteria such as Gluconacetobacter xylinus are able to biosynthesize a unique extracellular form of this polysaccharide, known as bacterial cellulose (BC). However, Similar to other nanocelluloses, BC exhibits properties such as insolubility in common solvents […]

Ce mémoire entrant dans le cadre de l’obtention de l’examen d’Etat allemand (équivalent de la maitrise) au sein de l’Université de la Sarre (Allemagne), je souhaite réaliser une étude comparée de droit français, européen et canadien. Lors de ma recherche de sujets, j’ai été particulièrement intéressé par le principe de sécurité juridique, qui ne cesse […]
