Les évènements météorologiques extrêmes impactent régulièrement la région de Veracuz au Mexique avec des conséquences qui se traduisent par des glissements de terrain, des érosions importantes des sols, des inondations urbaines etc. Tous ces phénomènes engendrent des problèmes économiques et sociaux dans cette région. De nos jours, il n’y a pas d’outil de prévision des […]

Le projet consiste à développer un modèle 3D pour modéliser les phénomènes électromagnétiques et thermiques permettant de simuler les effets d’échauffements dus à des courants de Foucault, i.e. des courants électriques induits par des variations temporelles d’un champ magnétique. Ce phénomène est responsable des pertes dans les appareillages électriques de puissance (transformateurs, génératrices, etc.), mais […]

The Red River, flowing from China, runs through the northern border city of Lao Cai, in one of the poorest and most mountainous regions of Vietnam. A new expressway runs through Lao Cai and supports increased trade and investment. The economic growth draws in rural migrants, and also displaces people as it appropriates land to […]

This research focuses on the optimization of parallel mechanisms, a specific class of robotic mechanisms, such that an optimal design guarantees that a desired task, having certain requirements, is able to be completed by the mechanism. The Inria Sophia Antipolis Coprin project (now the Hephaistos project) have worked on the development of interval analysis algebraic […]

Acute skin erythema is a common side effect with patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. It displays itself as an increase in skin redness and irritation. Erythema has been reported to correlate to individual patient response to radiation and therefore may be useful to guide and modify courses of treatment in a timely manner. Currently, upon visual […]

The research will examine the way in which marginalized communities are able to negotiate access to essential conditions of life such as water and housing. Infrastructure development and consumption patterns have failed to adapt to rapid economic growth and urban expansion. This has created an inequitable rift between social groups, with marginalized groups such as […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems because they provide many services to surrounding areas. However, due to their highly productive nature, they have a long history of being converted into farmland in Maritime Canada. In recent years, there has been strong interest in restoring salt marshes to protect against coastal erosion, mitigate sea level rise, […]

This research project will provide the intern with the opportunity to work with end users (students and faculty) to refine, further develop and test a prototype of NursApp, a learning management system (LMS) designed to create opportunities for students to use technology to learn in post-secondary education. The intern will work with co-owners to conduct […]

The graduate student (Simon Byrns) will work closely with pancreas surgeons and experts in computer image manipulation to generate 3D models of the relevant anatomy in pancreas surgery. These models will then be printed on a 3D printer and used to investigate their utility in the preoperative planning phase prior to surgery. The use of […]

My research explores practical solutions to preventing and reversing the growth of global deserts due to climate change and unsustainable development. In this case, it is grounded on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China, where poor policymaking and implementation has failed to halt the expansion of the Gobi Desert. Another consequence of these policies has […]

Measurement of the SOC is one of the basic functions of BMS for lithium-ion batteries pack in EVs. It is equivalent to fuel gauge in conventional vehicles which will indicate the miles cars can still run and when they should be charged. So the accurate SOC is needed to estimate to prolong the lifetime and […]

This research explores the links between gender and architecture in postmodern cities. Space is experienced and produced by gender constructs which remain at the centre of this study: women at home, sheltered from the dangers of the street. I look at feminine appropriations of architecture where such constructs are subverted, at opportunities that specific spaces […]
