Les milieux insulaires offrent des perspectives précieuses pour comprendre les dynamiques des écosystèmes boréaux face aux incendies, afin d’identifier des stratégies de gestion visant à renforcer la résilience des forêts boréales mixtes. L’objectif est d’identifier les liens entre la structure et la composition forestière des îles boisées du lac Hébécourt, les régimes de feux, et […]

In this project, we will design a set of communication protocols dedicated for linear wireless sensor networks, which have promising applications in the real world for environment and infrastructure monitoring. The protocols will be implemented and evaluated by using the multimode, enhanced wireless senor nodes developed in the host academic supervisor’s lab. With the objectives […]

L’aluminium est un matériau clé pour les applications structurales, notamment dans les secteurs des transports terrestres. Son utilisation dans les extrusions, comme les poutres de châssis et de carrosserie, permet de remplacer les assemblages traditionnels par des solutions plus légères et robustes. Cependant, les propriétés finales des pièces extrudées varient en fonction des conditions de […]

This project explores the relationship between twisted traces on K-theoretic Coulomb branches, vertex functions of quasi-maps, and vertex operator algebra characters. Twisted traces provide a framework to understand quantum algebras and their symmetries, with potential applications in representation theory, mathematical physics, and geometry. The project aims to establish new connections between these areas, benefiting participating […]

Ce stage vise à porter un regard nouveau sur la modélisation du processus de réserve en assurance et gestion de risque financier en proposant une approche probabiliste basée sur les théories des équations différentielles stochastiques et le gradient stochastique. Ce cadre a été appliqué avec succès à de nombreux domaines de la modélisation mathématique. Notre […]

This project aims to develop a novel wearable microneedle patch that can painlessly measure muscle activity more accurately and comfortably than current technologies, with the potential to transform how neuromuscular disorders like Parkinson’s are diagnosed and managed. It leverages the University of Calgary’s expertise in low-cost, scalable microfabrication techniques and University College Dublin’s expertise in […]

The objective of this project is to comprehensively measure the experiences and circumstances around commuting to large employers (e.g., in this case Carleton University). The motivation is to identify barriers and incentives to commuting without a car. Two interns from University of Savoy Mont Blanc’s Solar Academy master’s program will visit Carleton for the summer […]

Invasive species are organisms that arrive in a new environment and quickly dominate the landscape. They present one of the most important threats to local plants and animals; this is especially the case for invasive plant species, which comprised almost a tenth of Canada’s vascular plant life in 2008. Despite the abundance of invasive plants, […]

Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are shape-changing polymers that contain asymmetrical liquid crystal molecules chemically bonded to the polymer chains in an ordered fashion. Heat and light can be used to change this molecular order, which results in the polymer changing its shape. LCEs show promising applications in remotely controlled soft robotics and actuators, such as […]

This project investigates the brain mechanisms underlying schizophrenia and altered cognitive states using advanced computational models inspired by physics and machine learning. It focuses on understanding how the brain’s activity, thought to operate in a balance between order and disorder (known as criticality), may shift away from this balance in schizophrenia and in the psychedelic […]

Regular physical activity confers robust health benefits, but many people are insufficiently active. Common cited barriers include a perceived lack of time and access to equipment and facilities. “Exercise snacks” are a style of physical activity characterized by isolated bouts of vigorous exercise lasting =1-min and performed sporadically throughout the day. They can include simple […]

Continuous Integration is a software development practice where each member of a team work independently and then merge their changes into a common codebase, at least daily. Each of these integrations is verified through an automated build pipeline, whick consists of a sequence of actions such as compilation, testing, addition of third-party components. The key […]
