L’objectif principal est de mettre à disposition de nos partenaires industriels des outils informatisés innovants afin d’améliorer et d’enrichir leurs technologies (plateforme d’imagerie d’EOS Imaging, orthèse du genou de Médicus, outils pour la planification chirurgicale de Spinologics) pour aider une population, de plus en plus vieillissante, à demeurer autonome, mobile et active.

The intern will further improve the company’s proprietary biomaterials to create tumor models using cancer cells. These tumor models can be used as an alternative to traditional 2D cell culture and potentially animal testing for cancer drugs. These cancer models will cost a fraction of the cost of animal models and can be tested using […]

In plasma spray, coating materials melted by the plasma heat source are sprayed onto a substrate to make a coating layer which can be highly resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks. It is of importance to accurately measure the velocity and temperature of the sprayed coating particles. These characteristics have a great impact on the […]

Within a hydrogen fuel cell, the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is generally considered a limiting component in overall performance due to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. The proposed internship is comprised of two projects, each characterizing the materials used in the CCL. The first project will investigate the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium gases […]

This project is designated to the development of information and communication systems for advanced irrigation systems. An optimal wireless network planning algorithm will be developed to select the optimal locations for relay station placement at a minimum cost. Due to the potential GPS measurement errors in the irrigation area, robust optimization technique will be applied […]

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) results in high blood sugars and can cause serious complications. Recent studies suggest that treatment with diabetes medications along with lifestyle changes can result in patients not needing diabetes medications for months or even years, a concept known as diabetes remission. The Remission Evaluation of Metabolic Interventions in Type 2 Diabetes […]

In 2011, Statistics Canada reported that women comprised only 25% of total farmer numbers. At the same time, an aging male farmer population is causing concern that if the farming sector does not broaden its appeal among women, there will be significant economic implications for its future development. The Egg Farmers of Canada wants to […]

Une nouvelle nanotechnologie développée par l’équipe du Professeur Richard Martel à l’Université de Montréal combinée à la technologie d’imagerie Raman de Photon etc. permet de développer une nouvelle voie de lutte contre le cancer. L’immunothérapie vise une rééducation du système immunitaire lui permettant de combattre les cellules tumorales, mais doit être personnalisée selon le système […]

Performance anxiety has been shown to negatively impact decision-making as well as academic performance, but it is unclear whether the effect of anxiety on test performance is due to impaired decision-making. Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE), which involves exposure to rhythmically pulsating light and sound, has been shown to relieve anxiety symptoms — thus, AVE may be […]

Thermal insulation is an efficient way to reduce the loss of heat and decrease the energy consumption in buildings and houses. Polyurethane rigid foams are excellent materials for this purpose. Currently, polyurethane foams are produced from petrochemical feedstock. However, fossil fuel resources are non-renewable and are being depleted. In addition, their use contributes to the […]

Sound barriers can be seen beside highways across Ontario and are designed to protect residents from the noise produced by traffic. However, these barriers do little in the way of protecting residents from the pollution produced by nearby vehicles. This project combines a novel sound barrier design with a new pollution control technology that will […]

Recent environmental concerns and legislations over the use of lead are driving the microelectronics industry towards intensive search for lead free solder alloys in electronic packaging. Among many lead free solders, Sn-Cu-Ag system has been regarded as the most promising and attractive candidate alloy system for the conventional Sn-Pb solder alloys, owing to its wettability […]
