The major aim of this research project is to accelerate the development of the SORT1+ oncology platform. This novel platform is based on a new proprietary peptide targeting Sortilin, a key scavenging receptor. Sortilin has been reported to play a role in cell survival and in the progression of human cancers. For instance, Sortilin expression […]

Radiation effects in the space environment is of particular concern to electronics, often causing them to fail either due to ionization or from particles directly damaging components through collision. The goal of the project is to study the radiation effects of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC) to […]

The current internship is an extension of an ongoing project (application ref. IT24703) which implies the advanced deep learning-based approaches to diagnose the simultaneous power transformers’ faults based on a time-series dataset. The power transformers were selected as the candidate assets in the previous project. They are pieces of essential equipment for electricity transmission and […]

Gasification of wastes (either urban waste or residues from forest and agricultural operations) at large scale is a challenging operation because of the heterogeneity of the feedstock. Enerkem has addressed such challenge via its state-of-the art Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology coupled with secondary Cracking and Reforming that results in high conversion of Carbon to […]

In order to accelerate the energy transition to a carbon-free economy, hydrogen is becoming increasingly important as an energy carrier. One way of producing green hydrogen is via water electrolysis using renewable energy. Strong governmental policies are being deployed around the world to support the implementation of the hydrogen infrastructure. However, the intermittent and fluctuating […]

This project will focus on the design, creation and validation of a model to forecast replacement requirements within the Muratec MW200 lathes. The overall project objective is to produce a model defining the relationship between machine state and upcoming maintenance needs. The primary focus is a turning machine (automated lathe) that has a selection of […]

Social participation is a key outcome of rehabilitation and is enhanced by social support and exercise. Stroke symptom management with at-home products is now more critical than ever because of decreased rehabilitation services during COVID-19 and the need for more self-management. In partnership with lululemon, researchers will adapt an evidence-based and theoretically guided intervention program […]

Le Labo – Solutions Brassicoles est une entreprise qui produit à grande échelle des solutions de levures liquides à des fins brassicoles, c’est-à-dire qu’elle fournit aux microbrasseries du Québec, et bientôt d’ailleurs, les petites bêtes nécessaires à l’élaboration des bières, celles qui rendent possible la production d’alcool lors de l’étape qu’on appelle ‘fermentation’, mais permettent […]

The project will develop a 6G silicon-based beamforming network incorporating optical technologies. Such a technology may increase the performance of the 6G wireless systems and to reduce the power consumption. The use of photonics to perform beamforming has a key advantage of wide instantaneous bandwidth with no beam squint problem. Since the signals are already […]

The goal of this project is to assess the effectiveness of Concrete Canvas® in mitigating the radioactive radon gas exposure as well as methane infiltration into northern houses due to degrading permafrost. The outcomes of this research can provide northern communities with a relatively low-cost climate adaptation strategy to deal with toxic soil gas exposure […]

Today, construction activities have resulted in the depletion of vast amounts of non-renewable resources that cause climate change which is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our day. The construction industry is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Sustainable construction is now mainstream, necessitating the investigation of environmentally friendly construction materials […]

Automotive makers are facing increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift from the use of more conventional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Along with this shift comes a demand for on-board electronics that can operate at higher power densities, such as the electric motor. A less utilized, yet cheaper and more […]
