Snoring during sleep is common and is sometimes indicative of a mechanical impediment to breathing. The condition, called high upper airway resistance, is thought to be relatively common affecting roughly 15% of the population. It is characterized by complaints of daytime fatigue and/or sleepiness and is associated with a myriad of disastrous effects on a […]

Given my experience in the oil & gas and mining sector, I wanted to enhance my skills in process optimization and analysis. The internship provides an opportunity for me to understand the field of AI and machine learning and take the ideas to customers in the oil & gas and particularly mining sector. Additionally, the […]

Le modèle de bioraffinerie moléculaire intégrée vise à identifier des technologies propres et viables économiquement afin de valoriser les matières lignocellulosiques par famille de molécules : extractibles dans le cas des écorces, cellulose, hémicellulose et lignine. C’est dans ce contexte que l’entreprise fait appel au CÉPROCQ pour que dernier l’aide à optimiser et intégrer un […]

Spectra’s first technology allows for police to analyze drugs at the scene of a crime, meaning they know what they are dealing with immediately, versus standard one to three-month turnaround times from current lab testing processes. Public health can also use the tech at supervised consumption sites to help those who use drugs make informed […]

The proposed project consists of research and development for a thin film diagnostic platform. The purpose of this project is to better understand the impact of various manufacturing parameters on the resulting device structure and function. Our diagnostic technology operates through the thin film interference of light. Similar to the colours generated by a thin […]

The fields of plastic waste management and radioactive waste treatment are essential for sustainable society that utilizes plastic waste for energy production and radiation safety. Land filing and incineration of plastic waste has large environmental impacts due to GHG emissions. The mentioned challenges could be eliminated using a more reliable and controllable thermal source such […]

Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, of composites can manufacture final parts with high strength and stiffness. In this project, carbon fiber composites with a high temperature polymer are used for 3D printing. A custom 3D printing head installed on a robotic arm is used for manufacturing. Specimens are 3D printed to evaluate structural and […]

Dans le contexte actuel, de plus en plus de nouvelles technologies voient le jour toujours plus rapidement. Les entreprises doivent réagir face à la demande en constante variation, autant au niveau de la quantité qu’au niveau de la conception du produit demandé. L’agilité des petites et moyennes entreprises manufacturières du Québec est mise à rude […]

Patients who have hemophilia, a rare blood clotting disease, often have to make important decisions about different treatments for their condition. Research studies have shown that if patients and their health care providers communicate openly about treatment options and preferences and make decisions together, then the chosen treatment can lead to better patient satisfaction and […]

Understanding how brain processes information is the one of the most intriguing questions that modern neuroscience faces. This project is aimed to characterize how the lateral hypothalamus process information to downstream brain targets to guide proper behavioral responses. This brain area is well-known to regulate key aspects of the behavior. But how does it process […]

Additive manufacturing offers new opportunities for designing high performance composite structures. However, sophisticated numerical approaches are required to tackle the complex task of designing structures which take full advantage of additive manufacturing capabilities. The proposed research project aims to apply topology optimization, a numerical approach capable of determining the best shape of a structure, to […]
