The intern will work on a research project aimed at enhancing the shopping experience for customers on Air Liquide Canada’s website by developing a personalized recommendation system. The intern will explore and apply advanced ML techniques to leverage new sources of information such as textual descriptions and user characteristics, which will help better understand customer […]

Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) affect up to 50% of the female population and include stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The non-surgical treatment for POP and SUI is pessaries, which are intravaginal devices, fitted through trial-and-error. While pessaries are an effective treatment option, many patients will have to try multiple pessaries before […]

Due to the lack of design procedures and inherent limitations associated with the use of glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement in earthquake-resistant structures, GFRP reinforcement is currently limited to non- seismic concrete components, such as gravity columns or slabs. The goals of the partnership are to advance the behavior and design of GFRP-RC structures under […]

The dye and pigment industry is identified as one of the biggest pollutive and toxic industries. For instance, the textile dye industry is the second largest water polluter, producing 20% of the world’s wastewater using 800,000 tones of synthetic dyes annually. Many of the dyes and chemicals used have been highlighted as causing irretrievable damage […]

The proposed multifunctional platform of bioplastics demonstrates an attractive alternative to food packaging, improving the sustainability of plastics within the food sector, reducing our dependence on fossil-based polymers. The optimized biopolymers meet the expectations of safety and other benefits of plastics for both, the consumers and retailers. Our proposed formulations can handle higher temperatures for […]

This research project aims to address the challenge of improving customer experience and satisfaction by providing quick, accurate, and efficient answers to their questions about Avid products and services. Avid’s extensive knowledge base (KB) serves as a valuable resource for customers; however, finding relevant information can be time-consuming and challenging. The proposed AI-powered virtual assistant […]

There is a global effort to replace fossil-derived polymers with more sustainable, and better performing renewable polymers. As Canada is planning to put a ban on single used plastics by the end of 2021, putting an effort to replace these plastics with bio-based, compostable and biodegradable plastics could be a potential solution. The proposed work […]

En collaboration avec la firme AEDDIX System GmbH qui offre des solutions logicielles (SaaS) spécialisées pour l’industrie brassicole, le projet vise a intégrer des solutions numériques afin d’optimiser les processus de fermentation à la microbrasserie Siboire. À l’aide d’un capteur connecté (IoT) qui mesure les paramètres clés de fermentation en temps réel, un jumeau numérique […]

Notre projet vise à développer des teintures naturelles et écologiques pour les planchers en bois, offrant une résistance élevée à l’abrasion tout en réduisant les émissions de composés organiques volatils (COV). En utilisant des formulations à base d’huile végétale, nous cherchons à améliorer la durabilité et la protection des planchers, tout en préservant leur aspect […]

Railway systems play a vital role in modern society by rapidly and safely transporting cargo, goods and passengers. The project will build an intelligent railway infrastructure monitoring platform, and develop multi-scale railway maintenance algorithms to improve railway network safety and security, and promote a resilient infrastructure from disruptive events and climate changes. By developing technologies […]

Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizes chronically ~50% of the world’s population, causing gastric tissue inflammation and gastric ulcers or cancers. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have probiotic effects against HP, meaning that they help alleviate symptoms. We found that 5 LAB provided by partner Lallemand Health Solutions (LHS) produce and release molecules that inhibit the growth of […]
