In many applications, Machine Learning (ML) predictions are used to make downstream decisions. Acting on ML predictions however can change the distribution of features that the ML model relies on for predictions. The implication is that such downstream decisions procedures implicitly expect the ML model to generalize outside of the observational distribution. Unfortunately, this is […]

Le projet de recherche proposé par la stagiaire vise à utiliser l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour améliorer l’apprentissage des sciences physiques au niveau secondaire. En intégrant des outils d’IA comme des simulateurs interactifs et des plateformes d’apprentissage adaptatif, le projet cherche à rendre l’enseignement des concepts scientifiques plus compréhensible et engageant. Les avantages escomptés incluent une […]

Le lithium fait partie des minéraux critiques (MC) identifiés par le Canada. De nombreux gîtes lithinifères ont été répertoriés au Québec, plus particulièrement dans les derniers 10 ans dans la région d’Eeyou – Istchee – Baie James qui est entrain de devenir un secteur de lithium de classe mondiale. Tous les gîtes du Québec sont […]

Nearly all contraceptive services in Tanzania are free of charge. However, many adolescent girls do not seek contraception through community clinics for various reasons, including the stigma and perceived promiscuity associated with young girls who access contraception. In turn, adolescent sexual and contraceptive stigma contributes to reduced reproductive autonomy and a lack of women’s sexual […]

It has been demonstrated that hypertension, type II diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, and smoking are vascular risk factors that increase the chances of experiencing accelerated cognitive decline or developing dementia. Some studies have found that these vascular risk factors affect women’s cognition more severely than men’s. However, the reasons behind these observations remain to be […]

Quantum computing holds great promise in solving some problems that are intractable to its classical counterpart; however, current quantum devices are prone to errors, especially as they scale up. Our project focuses on developing efficient tools to detect and analyze these errors; we will construct an error map that characterizes where the different errors occur […]

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often experience adverse health outcomes including COPD exacerbations and cardiovascular events. These events impose a significant economic burden on the healthcare system and lead to impairment of patients’ wellbeing. This project aims to develop a clinical prediction model (CPM) to predict the risk of COPD exacerbations and cardiovascular […]

This project aims to explore the potential of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) for enhancing secure communication in distributed systems. A QKD environment will be simulated and quantum-generated keys will be integrated into a secure communication protocol. The project will involve building a simulated QKD layer and applying it to encrypt and authenticate messages in a […]

Crystal defects in diamonds represent the most promising quantum sensors for room-temperature operation, offering the ability to measure properties like temperature, pressure, and electromagnetic fields with extreme precision. This technique holds exciting potential applications in physics, neurobiology, the mining industry, and the detection of improvised explosive devices. However, the few commercial systems based on this […]

Mon projet de recherche s’intéresse aux impacts des déplacements des services communautaires à Montréal, en mobilisant des théories issues des géographies critiques urbaines et du care. De nombreux organismes communautaires, tels que les banques alimentaires et les organismes de soutien aux nouveaux arrivants, risquent d’être déplacés en raison de la hausse des loyers ou de […]

Dans le cadre de la bourse Mitacs Globalink, cette recherche vise à rédiger et publier un article scientifique sur la notion de valeur chez David Graeber, en dialogue avec les théories féministes de l’économie politique. L’article, provisoirement intitulé “La valeur du point de vue et le point de vue de la valeur chez David Graeber”, […]

The Cansbridge Fellowship, a leading Canadian non-profit dedicated to fostering entrepreneurial leadership, seeks to modernize its operations and programs to better serve students and ensure long-term sustainability. This project will bring in specialized interns to tackle key challenges, including redesigning the business model for financial stability, optimizing programs to meet the evolving needs of students […]
