Both Wales and Quebec are known for the importance they place on promoting the Welsh and French languages, respectively, and have introduced a variety of policy, cultural, and educational initiatives to this end. They owe these successes partly to their history of collaborating and sharing knowledge to enhance language revitalization and education efforts in both […]

Le stage de recherche vise à approfondir la compréhension par le stagiaire des principes de bases et de l’application des méthodes utilisant les radionucléides de retombées atmosphériques pour reconstruire les processus d’érosion et de sédimentation. Le stagiaire bénéficiera de formations techniques en spectrométrie gamma, et de soutien pour mettre en œuvre les modèles de calcul […]

Comparing virtual and face-to-face interactions in language learning classrooms, this study aims to understand how the smoothness of turn-taking, interaction quality, and the presence of visual cues (such as body language) influence adult learners’ motivation to continue studying French in Quebec. We intend to conduct this through a mixed methods approach. Controlled experiments manipulating turn-taking […]

Le domaine du stage proposé est à l’interface entre la combinatoire et l’algèbre. Plus spécifiquement, il s’intéresse à la combinatoire apparaissant en théorie des représentations d’algèbres. Une question centrale dans ce domaine est la catégorification. Le principe est, étant donné un phénomène combinatoire, de trouver/construire une catégorie (typiquement une catégorie provenant de la théorie des […]

In partnership with WIMTACH-CEDA, this research project investigates strategic enhancements to Dhiyati Inc.’s digital platform, aimed at advancing workforce readiness and bridging the skills gap for Canadian students. Focused on optimizing user engagement and data flow, this project explores the integration of advanced semi-associate admin features, group management tools, and seamless communication integrations, including Google […]

As global demand for clean energy rises, hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) integrating solar, wind, and energy storage offer opportunities to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. However, the operation and management of HRESs remain a significant challenge due to the inherent variability of renewable resources, technological limitations, and the complex interaction among system components. Therefore, […]

A poor diet quality and overconsumption of ultra-processed foods represent a looming public health crisis as reflected by a global ‘pandemic’ of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Nutritional studies are prone to bias and misreporting as they typically rely on questionnaires to assess the role of diet on human health outcomes in […]

Dairy products like milk and cream, as well as their vegan alternatives, are emulsions. In emulsions oil or fat droplets are dispersed in a water-based, protein-rich phase. Usually, these fat droplets consists out of saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature and impact the mouthfeel through their melting behaviour. Unsaturated fats, on the other […]

Ce projet de recherche propose une étude comparative des politiques de soutien aux personnes vivant seules en France et au Québec, deux contextes ayant des approches distinctes face à cette catégorie de population. Les individus vivant seuls, en augmentation constante dans les sociétés occidentales, présentent souvent des caractéristiques socio-économiques spécifiques, comme des revenus et des […]

The proposed project aims to enhance the security of Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure by developing advanced systems that detect and prevent cyber-attacks. The project will focus on building an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to protect against threats like Man-in-the-Middle (MiTM) and Denial of Service/Distributed Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) […]

The goal of this project is to better understand the factors or barriers that may be hindering a stronger economic recovery in rural Ontario from the COVID-19 Pandemic; and build upon our understanding of how to enhance the resilience and robustness of rural communities in Ontario. To achieve this goal, a comparative jurisdictional scan between […]

The project, “Assessing the Environmental Impacts of Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling in British Columbia,” aims to evaluate the potential benefits of recycling lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles (EVs) in the region. As British Columbia increases its adoption of zero-emission vehicles, there is a growing need to address the environmental impacts of sourcing materials like lithium, […]
