This research project aims to analyze and compare the environmental impact of various architectures used in activity recognition systems, with a focus optimizing the balance between (enough) quality of service (QoS) and sustainability. Specifically, the project will focus on the data life-cycle that flows through the three distinct architectural approaches—device-based, edge-based, and cloud-based— considering the […]

Le stage contribuera à un projet de recherche visant à développer un programme de prévention précoce des cancers professionnels auprès d’une population d’adolescents faiblement scolarisés empruntant le Parcours de formation axée sur l’emploi au Québec. Ce programme vise à préparer ces jeunes au marché du travail en proposant des stages de pré emploi dans un […]

The proposed project focuses on improving the design and analysis of sustainable aviation technologies by enhancing a Multi-disciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework. This framework will be used to evaluate alternative propulsion systems, such as hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid-electric solutions, and assess their impact on aircraft subsystems, including environmental control and thermal management […]

Ce projet propose une formation en ligne axée sur l’esprit critique et la maîtrise de l’information, en mobilisant des disciplines comme la climatologie et les nouvelles technologies. À l’intersection des enjeux contemporains, il aborde des thèmes cruciaux tels que l’infobésité, l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur la désinformation, et les fausses informations touchant le climat et […]

Cell-based biosensors are living cells that have been genetically engineered to detect and measure different chemicals of interest. Similar to the cells in our nose that allow us to smell isoamyl-alcohol (banana), or allyl thiol (garlic), biosensors use protein receptors and produce a measurable read-out such as fluorescence to determine the amount of target molecule […]

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biocompatible material widely used in 3D printing. However, its application in bone tissue engineering is limited due to slow degradation and inadequate mechanical strength. To address this, we propose a conductive, biodegradable scaffold incorporating calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to improve mechanical properties. Conductive elements, such as carbon-based materials, are added to […]

Le projet de recherche vise à développer un algorithme avancé de détection des mouvements des mains et des doigts en 3D en utilisant le Leap Motion Controller, l’objectif est de créer une expérience utilisateur améliorée qui remplace l’utilisation traditionnelle des périphériques comme la souris et le clavier par des gestes de la main. Cet algorithme […]

Molecular dynamics simulations predict how individual atoms in a protein or material (or many other systems) evolve over time, allowing the detailed in silico study of atomistic processes. The most important input into those simulations is the force field, which specifies the interaction between individual atoms. For many technologically important processes such as electro-catalysis, or […]

Ce projet vise à améliorer la réadaptation des personnes atteintes de paralysies ou de troubles neuromusculaires affectant les bras, grâce à une technologie appelée stimulation électrique fonctionnelle (SEF). Cette technique utilise des impulsions électriques pour activer les muscles, permettant des mouvements que les patients ne peuvent pas réaliser seuls. L’étude se concentre sur l’effet de […]

Ce projet a pour objectif d’examiner les facteurs influençant la mobilité géographique des délinquants sexuels, en vue de mieux comprendre leurs comportements de déplacement pour commettre des crimes. La majorité des recherches actuelles montrent que ces individus tendent à rester proches de leur domicile, mais des cas de déplacements plus longs restent peu explorés et […]

This research project aims to investigate the seismic behaviour of steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs), a widely used seismic-resistant system in Canada and Europe. Previous experimental and numerical studies have identified several shortcomings regarding the seismic performance of steel CBFs. In response, this project seeks to propose new design guidelines within the framework of the […]

Code review tools are essential in software quality assurance for projects like Android and OpenStack, and companies such as Google and Microsoft. OpenStack alone has over 100,000 contributors and 600+ repositories, where parallel patch submissions often lead to redundant work. Studies indicate that identifying duplicate patches takes, on average, 2.5 reviewers and 5.2 comments per […]
