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 […]

As electronic components shrink in size and become more powerful, they create more concentrated heat that needs to be dissipated to ensure reliable operation. Due to the finite conductivity of the sink material, the temperature at the centre of the base plate is higher than the edges, leading to better performance of the fins at […]

Conventional von Neumann architectures rely heavily on communication between memory and compute elements, making them power hungry. In recent years, therefore, neuromorphic computing based on low-power compute-inmemory devices has been gaining interest. One of the essential aspects of such systems is the hardware modeling of synapses that are expected to store weights that represent the […]

Intraocular hemorrhage is the most common cause of sudden vision loss from advanced diabetic eye disease. This occurs when blood from diseased retinal vasculature leak into the normally clear, gel-like substance in the eye called the vitreous, obscuring vision. The current management guidelines for these patients is a period of modified bedrest (up to 4 […]

Wooden utility poles provide safe, economic, easily obtainable means of delivering power, communications, and cable television to the masses of industrial and residential locations worldwide. However, when a pole has been in service for a substantial number of years, its failure becomes more likely. Hence, the proposed project focuses on the strength estimation of in-service […]
