Le nouveau contexte dans lequel e?voluent les ba?timents du 21e?me sie?cle impose clairement le de?veloppement de nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication a? la fine pointe afin de constituer des outils d’aide a? la de?cision pour la gestion efficace d’e?nergie dans les ba?timents. L’intelligence artificielle (IA) joue un rôle important facilitant le traitement […]

Le projet consiste a faire I’optimisation energetique d’un procede de chauffage et climatisation residentiel innovateur con9u par I’entreprise partenaire. Ce procede consiste d’une pompe a chaleur puisant son energie dans deux bassins d’eau servant de reserve energetique. Un ensemble de capteurs sola ires sert d’appoint energetique pour Ie chauffage des locaux en hiver et de […]

In warm climates warm temperatures cause thermal stratification in hydropower reservoirs inhibiting mixing and leading to deoxygenation of waters at depth (hypolimnium). Turbines withdrawing water at depth result in low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the downstream flow having a large negative impact on the downstream riverine ecosystem. Legislation in the USA and elsewhere now requires […]

The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. Over the last few years partners at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and Loughborough University (United Kingdom) have […]

The objective of this project is to find new ternary compounds rich in Mg. More specifically, we will study the ternary compounds Mg-TM-RE through where TM is a transition metal and RE is a rare earth. It has been recently shown that alloys of this composition have interesting hydrogen storage properties. The intern will synthesize […]

L’objectif du projet vise à porter en Julia et à améliorer l’outil de prédiction de la demande en électricité à court terme actuellement en oeuvre au sein d’Hydro-Québec TransÉnergie et équipement. Bien que l’outil disponible ait fait ses preuves dans un contexte opérationnel, les changements structurels observés dans les modes de consommation d’électricité, en particulier […]

A new computational model will be developed that allows the industrial partner to design more efficient sand separation devices for the oil and gas industry. The computer model will be developed within an open source software, which means that, in addition to benefiting the industrial partner directly, it will also contribute to the increased accuracy […]

Lighten Up Electric (Lightenup), an electrical contracting company based out of Moncton, New Brunswick, have targeted market potential for small-scale residential renewable energy systems in the Maritime region of Canada. The Maritime Provinces have large and undeveloped potential around solar and wind energy capture, but also large potential for development of sustainable design in construction. […]

My Ph.D. research focuses on coarse-graining using machine learning-based methods and analytical theory for building physical models for multi-scale modeling. There are many reasons for performing simulations on simpler systems. In complex systems with large scales, we are concerned with the effective interactions and driving forces that emerge from the detailed descriptions of the systems. […]

In the last 30 years, mixed recycling and organics composting initiatives have drastically reduced the total amount of landfill waste generated in North American communities, and despite these encouraging trends, communities continue to experience land shortages for sanitary landfills. Zero-Waste initiatives offer a potential way forward to further reduce the amount of landfill waste generated […]

Ce projet de recherche s’agit de l’étude de la manière dont le nord de la Grèce a traité le problème de la gestion de l’eau pendant les époques archaïque et hellénistique. Cela comprend non seulement la manière dont ces colonies ont obtenu de l’eau pour garantir leur survie, mais aussi sa distribution dans toute la […]
