Le problème sur lequel nous travaillerons consiste à développer un outil d’aide à la décision pour supporter la croissance de HydroTech. L’entreprise est actuellement implantée dans trois régions au Canada (Québec, Ontario et Colombie-Britannique) et souhaiterait poursuivre sa croissance en Ontario et Colombie-Britanique. À cet effet, la question se pose de mieux prévoir la demande […]

Neural Networks play a key role in many modern technologies such as self-driving cars, drones, malware detection, and face recognition. For each of these technologies security and reliability is paramount. Unfortunately, researchers have shown that it is possible to reliably fool the neural networks behind these applications. Which makes identifying the best methods to defend […]

Extreme conditions in Oil and Gas industry often impose conflicting demands for the optimum mechanical properties as well as long term corrosion resistance. The internal and external side of the pipeline are usually exposed to different environments and are required to possess different characteristics. It is difficult to find a single material to satisfy all […]

To ensure high performance for AMD’s graphics cards, the company performs extensive testing on computer game titles. Most gameplay testing is done manually, which results in significant effort and cost expenditure. Thus, this project’s objective is to develop a program capable of learning to automatically play a modern video game. Rather than aiming to optimize […]

In Canada, approximately 1 in 4 adults are living with obesity. Obesity is cause by a complex interplay of genetic, behavioural, and environmental factors that can increase the risk of developing non-communicable diseases such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, asthma, several cancers, and disability in adulthood. Restricting caloric consumption and increasing physical […]

Le procédé de production de l’aluminium dans les usines de Rio Tinto (RT) nécessite l’utilisation de circuits de refroidissement à l’eau pour, entre autres, la coulée des lingots et le refroidissement des stations électriques. Certaines bactéries potentiellement dangereuses comme les légionelles Sont susceptibles de se développer dans les réseaux de refroidissement et puisque la bactérie […]

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell is in the early stage of commercialization and mass production lies in the cost reduction, increase performance and durability. All of these three challenges interrelated together and mainly related to the proper design for catalyst layer. The proposed research project aims at developing novel catalyst layers structure for dry/low relative […]

This research will investigate the chemical content in the furniture sold by Teknion. The presence of chemicals of concern and their associated potential human health risks will also be determined using guidelines approved by Health Canada and other jurisdictions. The findings from this research will enable Teknion to formulate evidence based guidelines for reducing their […]

L’industrie du jeu vidéo est une source inépuisable de données et notamment de données de performances [8]. L’origine provient de la nécessité pour une expérience de jeu ultime, d’avoir des performances similaires quelle que soit la plateforme utilisée. Cependant, la fragmentation du marché des plateformes de jeu est multiple. Entre les différentes consoles et l’ensemble […]

MDA Montreal possesses a niche expertise on a wide variety of high-performance satellite telecommunication antennas. These antennas are exposed to extremely harsh environments. Some panels require a rigid mechanical assembly (i.e., nut and bolt fastening) but must preserve their thermal isolation for the proper operation of the antennas and to limit heat exchange towards the […]

The objectives of this research project are (a) to record neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory, and cognitive related data using wearable sensors during running and hopping as two basic activities of many sports; and (b) convert the data to medically meaningful indicators of athletic performance and risk of injury using signal processing and machine learning algorithms. The project […]

Many chemicals can be used for the mix design of concrete 3D printing. With a traditional experimental approach, the number of experiments to conduct is exponential. The objective of this study is to develop a cement-based material suitable for 3D concrete printing applications by utilizing optimization and predictive algorithms. The question to answer is if […]
