Le projet portera sur l’étude de l’impact de goutte de fluides complexe qui a de nombreuses applications industrielles ou en géophysique. Nous utiliserons notamment des fluides à seuils qui ont la particularité de se comporter comme des solides lorsqu’il sont faiblement sollicités et comme des fluides quand on a dépassé une contrainte limite dite contrainte […]

Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is a widely studied material for electrocatalysis due to its redox properties and potential as an efficient catalyst for the oxyge¬¬n evolution reaction (OER). However, further improvements in its catalytic performance can be achieved by modifying its surface structure through the incorporation of dopants. This project aims to enhance the catalytic performance […]

This project aims to experimentally investigate the optimal operating conditions for the reactive crystallization of compounds. A stirred-tank reactor will be set-up and the effects of mixing conditions on the resulting crystal particle size distribution will be investigated. Techniques for the online monitoring the reaction process will be explored, which will be used for model […]

The current treatment for blood clots involves administering medications that increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Surgical intervention can be used, however, complex bends in the blood vessels can make it difficult to reach the clot site. Current treatments are not always successful, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as below the knee. Miniature robots offer […]

This project aims to explore and improve a special type of bio-based material called dialcohol nanocelluloses, which is made from cellulose. By working with experts at Université de Grenoble Alpes and using their advanced equipment, the research will help us understand how these materials are structured and how they behave. This knowledge is important because […]

Le projet vise à faire un bilan énergétique des procédés d’extraction et séchage du tanin, un biopolymère dérivé de l’écorce d’arbres, reconnu pour ses propriétés physicochimiques et son potentiel de substitution aux matériaux pétroliers. Dans le contexte des enjeux environnementaux et économiques associés à l’utilisation de ressources fossiles, le tanin émerge comme une alternative durable, […]

Realistic data generation has become a hot topic in health research, especially to determine optimal randomized clinical trial design. A growing field of research is “virtual” trials, which are trials conducted through computer simulations to generate synthetic data such that the generated distribution mimics the original data distribution without simply copying the original observations. Especially […]

The maxillectomy is a surgical procedure, involving the removal of parts of the maxillary bone due to either congenital defects, traumatic conditions, or osteogenic and non-osteogenic tumors. The current gold standard of treatment involves the auto-grafting of bone from a second surgical site such as the fibula, into the maxilla; a practice that increases the […]

As an epistemic phenomenon and mental health concern, Imposter syndrome (IS) can affect how individuals believe and see themselves as epistemic peers in an epistemic environment. The online environment, particularly social media, can be an epistemic environment that could provide useful insight into understanding and dealing with imposter syndrome. So far, what has been theorised […]

The proposed research project aims to improve the stability of electrical grids, which are increasingly powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, by developing a Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG). This virtual generator would allow grids with low natural inertia, due to the presence of power electronics (e.g., inverters), to better respond to […]

Ce projet de recherche qui s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un mémoire de Master co-dirigé entre l’Université de Lausanne et l’Université de Montréal, propose une étude comparative des mécanismes de reporting extra-financier dans les systèmes juridiques suisse et canadien. Il explore le rôle du droit dans la divulgation efficace des facteurs environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance […]

The three-dimensional food printing (3DFP) offers the food industry and consumers customizable food preparation and manufacturing possibilities. Several food products including plant proteins have been utilized in 3DFP applications. However, the printability of plant proteins needs to be enhanced to develop novel food structures with improved stability. Our previous research showed that atmospheric cold plasma […]
