Cybersecurity incidents such as data breaches have become more critical and costly than ever, as we are generating, processing, and relying on more digital information every day. To quickly identify potential security attacks and prevent them in a sea of system activities, machine learning (ML) has been applied to support security analysts’ decisions. However, the […]

Ammonia is crucial for life as a primary element for fertilizer production and it is also a foundational feedstock for pharmaceuticals, dyes, and chemical synthesis. Ammonia has also emerged as an energy carrier and transportation fuel. Plasma-based reactors are potentially operated by renewable electricity sources (wind and solar), offering lightweight, flexible, straightforward on/off switch, and […]

Asthma is an airway disease affecting over 330 million people worldwide. More than >5% of people with asthma experience uncontrolled severe disease despite being treated with high doses of steroids which give them a lot of bad side effects1,2. The availability of a new class of drugs recently called biologics have reduced the number of […]

Sycodal is a Canadian company that empowers local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with cutting-edge digital solutions to overcome human resource shortages and adapt to market fluctuations. It is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program and uses NVIDIA’s technology to add machine learning (ML) and reinforcement learning (RL) capabilities to its automation systems. These […]

The Multivariate Polynomial Digital Signature Scheme (MPPK-DS) is a new Post-Quantum cryptographic scheme that relies on the hardness of solving a set of multivariate polynomials. The scheme is an ideal candidate for the new NIST call for Post-Quantum digital signature algorithms that intents to diversify the post-quantum signature standards. In this project, we will work […]

Drug-impaired driving represents a significant and increasing threat to the safety of Canadians and there is an urgent need for a convenient, rapid and accurate road-side testing technology for impaired driving. Current solution for roadside drug testing only provides qualitative results, while quantitative detection of drugs currently requires expensive equipment, dedicated infrastructure and specialized laboratory […]

Le projet vise à étudier un modèle de carrefour de production d’énergie décentralisé et indépendant produisant des énergies et des produits nécessaires à la production agricole (électricité, engrais…). Ce modèle de carrefour énergétique servirait à alimenter des zones agricoles à partir d’un mix d’énergie verte produite sur place (éolien ou solaire). A travers la combinaison […]

L’industrie minière canadienne dépend encore considérablement des énergies fossiles en raison de ses activités qui sont principalement localisées dans les régions non reliées au réseau de distribution électrique principal. L’objectif de ce partenariat entre l’Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) et l’entreprise Caron Technologies International (CTI) Inc. est de développer et de concevoir un module […]

We aim to optimize advanced Computed Tomography (CT) imaging to provide non-invasive and accurate assessment of early lung fibrosis. Lung fibrosis causes inflammation and scarring of lung tissue and can be progressive, even fatal. Currently, detection of lung fibrosis relies on relatively insensitive tests, such as pulmonary function tests and static lung CT. Alternately, microscopic […]

La simulation et l’émulation sent des voies qui méritent d’être explorées pour alleger le fardeau de la maintenance d’un materiel coûteux et de son infrastructure. Trouver et mettre en oeuvre le bon niveau de details dans un simulateur de périphérique permet de prototyper et de tester rapidement le logiciel afin de réduire les délais de […]

Seasonal influenza causes significant mortality and morbidity worldwide, and we are currently unprepared to mitigate a fatal pandemic outbreak like the 1918 Spanish Flu. A proven influenza antiviral target is the M2 viroporin, or viral ion channel. Amantadine, an M2 inhibitor was an effective antiviral for 20 years. However, current influenza antivirals are increasingly ineffective […]
