Acrylic Robotics is a robotics startup based in Montreal, on a mission to use technology to make fine art accessible to the general public. To make fine art accessible, this project focuses on the implementation of a larger robotic arm to recreate artists’ artworks at scale. The intern will be responsible for the development of […]

L’objectif de mon projet de recherche sera de faire ressortir les similitudes et les disparités concernant les recommandations de remboursements entre les agences d’évaluation des technologies de la santé au Canada (l‘INESSS pour le Québec et l’ACMTS pour l’ensemble des autres provinces) en fonction des différents champs thérapeutiques. Ce projet de recherche sera très pertinent […]

Alberta’s natural resource sector has resulted in the continuous and persistent loss of forest productivity. Despite huge strides in reclamation practices within the last 40 years, there is still a sizeable legacy of industrial disturbed sites that represent a significant opportunity to enhance the sustainability of the forest industry in the province. Forest companies have […]

There is a pressing need for studies centered on the impact assessment of emerging wood preservatives and the remediation of orphaned sites. The present proposal describes a dual-purpose research project. The project aims to; (i) apply a modified in situ chemical oxidation technique for the removal of pentachlorophenol (Penta) and creosote compounds in orphaned sites […]

Nowadays, many building contractors use modular construction, where various parts of a building are partially or completely built on an assembly line and then put together on the delivery site. Building interior modules often involve building and finishing plasterboard walls, including closing joints between panels and hiding fasteners or defects. To do so, a gypsum-based […]

Considering the continually growing energy demands and concerns about climate change due to anthropogenic CO2 generated from fossil fuels, there has been a global endeavor to transition towards low-carbon renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic technologies. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are ideal candidates for low-cost PV technologies thanks to the possibility of large-scale device fabrication by […]

The goal for this project is to obtain partial funding for our intern student who we will have until the end of December 2022. Their duties will consist mainly of process improvement, as well as marketing, advertising and business acquisition. This approach will be to not only increase our current market of cliental, but also […]

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 1 to 10 nm that show great promise for photonics, microelectronics, and fluorescent bio-imaging considering their ability to fluoresce from blue to near infrared light. In comparison to conventional quantum dots (which can release toxic metals), Si quantum dots are expected to be safer […]

Changes brought to the ecosystem and geopolitical environment can have an effect on several fields including the healthcare system. Recently, we observed the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has had on the healthcare workers’ practices and people’s behaviour regarding their health status. Changes in spontaneous reporting trends were also observed. Lately, Europe has also witnessed the […]

This partnership aims to improve the robustness of laying hens to better cope with nutritional, immune, and environmental stresses and thus improve their productivity and longevity in a context of lengthening of laying cycles. Indeed, successfully keeping the laying hens to 100 weeks is no longer the exception and there is a tendency for extending […]

Electrical activity in the heart is controlled by the concerted activity of many proteins called ion-channels that regulate the transfer of different ions across cell membranes. Recently, researchers in biomedical science have identified that a particular component of sodium carrying ion-channel activity (called the persistent or late sodium current also known as INa(P)) played a […]
