This project focuses on advancing a novel battery-free, antenna-based sensor platform designed for continuous wireless monitoring in healthcare and environmental applications. The technology enables the creation of thin, flexible, and low-cost “sticker-like” sensors that operate without batteries or wired power. These sensors can detect key parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pH, transmitting real-time data […]

This project will design, prototype, and evaluate an explainable, human-in-the-loop Large Language Model (LLM) system to enhance patient engagement and personalization in healthcare while ensuring transparency, privacy, and equity. Building on recent findings that current LLM-based healthcare tools lack robust real-world evaluation and interpretability, the research will develop explainability modules, privacy-preserving techniques, and rigorous evaluation […]

The project will investigate how language practices in multilingual and multicultural schools influence students’ learning experiences and educational opportunities. It aims to identify challenges faced by students from diverse linguistic backgrounds and explore strategies that promote inclusion and equity in education. By collecting and analyzing data on classroom language use, the project seeks to provide […]

The late Ediacaran marks a critical interval in Earth’s history, as it witnessed significant global transformations in the climate system and variations in ocean chemistry. These profound changes affected the evolution and distribution of early animal life. The crisis of Ediacaran fauna likely favored the appearance of the first shelly fossils, considered the prelude to […]

Spinal cord injuries often cause lifelong motor deficits, with limited recovery from current therapies. This project explores a new approach: using deep brain stimulation of the brain’s reward circuits to encourage and reinforce natural movements during rehabilitation. In the rat model of spinal cord injury, we aim to boost both immediate motor performance and long-term […]

Pain not only signals potential injury but also guides learning, teaching us to avoid harmful actions. Recent work from Roy’s laboratory (Coll et al., 2024) highlights the role of prediction errors—the difference between expected and actual outcomes— in shaping our pain perception, depending on whether it aligns with or violates our expectations. However, the precise […]

Mon projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une maîtrise en philosophie et porte sur Être et temps, l’oeuvre maîtresse du philosophe allemand Martin Heidegger. Dans cet ouvrage, Heidegger tente de répondre à la question du sens de l’être, car tout autre questionnement supposerait déjà une certaine compréhension de ce que signifie « être ». Pour y […]

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 […]
