My project investigates the genetic diversity of Aneura mirabilis, a plant that lost the ability to photosynthesize, and instead depends entirely on fungal networks to meet its energy requirements. This is the sole bryophyte lineage that made this major nutritional transition. The mycoheterotrophic lifestyle is at one end of a spectrum of plant-fungal relationships that […]

MD Progress aims to simplify the process of maintenance of certification for physicians, addressing a significant pain point in the healthcare industry. Physicians are required to demonstrate ongoing learning to remain accredited, a process that is often cumbersome and time-consuming. Our platform automates the logging of educational activities, making it easier for physicians to manage […]

Forest fire hazard mitigation is crucial for Canada due to its vast and diverse forests, which are highly prone to wildfires. These fires threaten human lives, property, and wildlife, and can cause serious economic and environmental damage. Effective strategies can reduce the frequency, intensity, and spread of wildfires, protecting communities, preserving valuable timber, and maintaining […]

Le vieillissement de la population impose un vrai défi sociétal afin de maintenir la qualité de la vie, l’autonomie, et la productivité de l’individu âgé tout en minimisant les dépenses de santé. L’un des éléments majeurs de ce défi concerne le vieillissement cérébral lié au développement des maladies neurodégénératives, notamment la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA). Actuellement […]

The project’s goal is to determine a quantum-computer suitable discretization of a target Hamiltonian. We will research how to efficiently perform the interaction and kinetic energy integrals with explicitly correlated orbitals using quantum computers, and how to efficiently use the result of those computations for the encoding of Hamiltonians. Assuming the result of the relevant […]

Le projet proposé vise à créer une plateforme de soutien spécialisée pour les élèves 2SLGBTQIA+ victimes d’intimidation dans les écoles secondaires du Québec. Cette initiative est cruciale pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques de ces jeunes, souvent confrontés à des formes de harcèlement, d’exclusion, et de violence verbale ou physique en raison de leur identité de […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Blockchain technology consists of a distributed ledger that operates through a decentralized network of data blocks, sequentially connected and regulated by consensus mechanisms. Initially developed to underpin cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, broader business and technological sectors now recognize blockchains’ potential applicability across various fields, including healthcare, communication, and smart grids. Blockchains currently rely on established cryptographic […]

Magnetic confinement of the extremely hot plasma necessary to achieve controlled nuclear fusion has made tremendous progress in recent years towards the ultimate goal of operating as a commercially viable long-term source of energy that can greatly facilitate the decarbonization of our energy system. As part of this research effort a fusion reactor prototype is […]

Ce projet propose d’étudier les usages appropriés des écrans en classe à l’intention des enseignants qui doivent composer avec une présence de plus en plus importante des écrans à usage individuel. Il est développé en parallèle avec autre projet de recherche portant sur les répercussions des usages de l’écran à la maison que nous menons […]

This project will support Propel Impact in advancing impact investing activities across charitable foundations.

Organic photoredox catalysis is a profitable, emerging methodology in synthetic chemistry, making countless challenging chemical transformations easily accessible. For organic photocatalysts, the active catalyst responsible for single electron transfer to substrates was initially proposed to be the excited state of the radical anion of the photocatalyst, formed in-situ. Recently, the Nocera group has shown that […]
