Les 93 millions d’hectolitres de lait produit chaque année au Québec permettent la production de lait de consommation et d’autres fluides laitiers. Ces fluides laitiers subissent tous une étape de pasteurisation thermique afin d’inhiber les microorganismes pathogènes et certaines enzymes indésirables. Bien que la pasteurisation thermique soit un procédé efficace et très majoritairement appliqué, le […]

Our four interns and six internships will be invaluable components in the research being conducted. These interns will be collecting primary data for the project and will be working directly with industry partners to test and develop feasible solutions to community drinking water problems. Our parter organizations will directly benefit from our internships, as our […]

State-of-the-art natural language processing tools are rapidly improving in being able to identify real-world objects in texts (e.g. person, location, organization). However, the vocabularies and document structures used in a medical setting can vary from general language corpus from which the NLP models were trained; resulting in poor performance. This project will fine-tune existing NLP […]

This project will develop a graph neural network model that generates a prediction (e.g. detects anomalies) together with a set of explanations as to what the model based its prediction on. The model applies to dynamic graphs (such as wireless communication networks), and the explanations generated are either based on the properties of the graph […]

The popularity of cryptocurrency has continued to increase over the past years and has raised serious policy concerns among Central Banks. Given the Bank of Canada’s role in maintaining financial stability, its 2019 Financial System Review identified the evolution of the cryptoasset market as one of six financial vulnerabilities that need to be monitored closely. […]

Computer games are one of the main use cases for AMD graphics cards. To ensure the highest performance and quality possible, AMD has to test its graphics hardware and software on dozens of game titles and hundreds of system configurations. While some game titles provide built-in automated benchmarks, the majority of gameplay testing is manual […]

The research will document process knowledge that is currently held by individual employees. The main objective is that this personal knowledge about processes can be shared and used to create standardized documents which, as a result, can improve coordination and collaboration. The documentation work will include reviewing existing organization’s documents, engaging personnel in series of […]

Fluoro-polymer powder materials have been spotlighted for the use of robust outer surface morphology applications and artistic pattern creation for the outside window in global construction market. However, this anti-sticking art pattern generation on metallic plates like aluminum plates are very challenging compared with the printing on the glass window. So, it’s been a long […]

Plastic continues to be produced, as it’s an essential element in many industries such as medical, engineering, electronics, etc. As a result, there is an increase in plastic waste that is not being recycled and often ends up in our landfills and oceans instead. This is because recycling is a time-consuming and often expensive process […]

Cargill is looking to improve the data collection and injury risk assessment process by leveraging the Lifebooster technology. The Lifebooster system has been leased and will be used for 12 months as a proof of concept project. The goal of the POC is to evaluate the ability to collect PDD data with wearable technology, and […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) represent the most employed technology for use in electric vehicles as they offer high capacity, cycle-life, and power at reduced weight and dimensions. Current LIB anodes are mainly carbon-based materials with a limited theoretical capacity. On the other hand, a silicon (Si) anode has a theoretical capacity close to an order magnitude […]

At McCol Metals, we have developed an innovative process to recover metal elements and then sell them to the international market. Our innovative recovery process has created a circular economy for Mixed Metal Oxide anodes and provides sustainability to the global Platinum Group Metal markets. We have currently commercialized and secured a 5-year contract locally […]
