Our long-term agenda associated with this two year proposal is to address the needs of researchers working with large-scale scientific applications through our contributions to highly parallelized system infrastructure software. At the application level, we are targeting real-world projects such as the computational demands associated with the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions and NEPTUNE Canada. […]

Free-space optical inter-satellite communication has become an area of key interest in global research and development towards satellite-based communication networks. The aim of this project is to research and develop a thermally stable, multi-watt, optical phased array for the purpose of coherent mechanism-free beam steering in inter-satellite communication systems. Development of this electro-optic chip is […]

This research project investigates methods for detecting damage and breakage in fibers used in fiber-reinforced polymer composite pressure piping. Of primary interest is Acoustic Emission (AE) technology to isolate and identify damage types and corresponding AE features for fiber reinforcement rupturing when exposed service loads and different environmental conditions. Sound signals produced by fiber rupture […]

Thales vient de lancer son accélérateur AI@Centech. Situé à Montréal, l’accélérateur a pour objectif d’accompagner, sous forme de cohortes de 6 mois, des start-ups qui fournissent des solutions basées sur l’intelligence artificielle (AI). Cette grappe Mitacs, qui réunit des stagiaires de l’ÉTS et de Polytechnique Montréal, vient appuyer Thales dans la structuration de son accélérateur, […]

This project will advance development of technologies capable of detecting rapidly and reliable a range of gases harmful to humans. Student interns working in university labs and with our partner will develop new gas sensors using new materials that resonate in observable ways when they come into contact with harmful gases. These sensors will be […]

Dans les fermes porcines, le suivi du comportement et l’analyse des données biométriques sont indispensables pour l’amélioration du bien-être, du niveau de santé, de l’efficacité des traitements, la prise de décision en matière de reproduction et plus généralement, la durabilité de la production porcine. Additionnellement, avec la pénurie de main d’œuvre au Québec, les fermes […]

Graduate students working on the NSERC RDC program titled: Clutched redundant Rotary Motors for Aircraft Primary Flight Control will have the opportunity to pursue their respective research projects at the locations of the two industrial partners supporting the project. Bell Helicopter will accept 5 fulltime 4 months internships and Bombardier will accept 4 fulltime 4 […]

Ce projet vise l’amélioration d’une méthode de mesure, utilisant la norme ISO 18437-5, permettant de mesurer les propriétés élastiques de matériaux poreux à squelette élastique. Ces matériaux sont couramment utilisés en combinaison avec des panneaux métalliques ou composites pour contrôler leur comportement vibratoire et acoustique. De tels panneaux forment notamment les coques d’avions et panneaux […]

Electric vehicles have been adopted around the world as an alternative to combustion engine vehicles. It has been a focus for academic and industry research efforts to develop battery materials with reduced cobalt, but the removal of cobalt comes at a cost. Reduced cobalt often decreases the stability of these materials. Further improvements to the […]

Eden Valley Poultry (EVP) is one of the main suppliers of chicken products in Atlantic Canada with 10.3M broilers and turkeys processed in 2018. Currently, the EVP planner manually manages various factors that contribute to the selection of barns for broiler pick up to be processed every day. This research proposal aims to improve the […]

L’industrie de la valorisation de bois fait face aujourd’hui à des défis de plus en plus complexes. En plus de leur quête continuelle de performance et de compétitivité, des facteurs tels que les changements climatiques, la disponibilité des ressources, l’augmentation des sources de variabilité ou bien même la rareté des compétences augmentent la pression sur […]

Culture of cells in three-dimension (30) allows cells to interact with their surrounding and grow in all directions and behave in a manner that is more closely associated to how they would in vivo as long as their nutrient and environmental requirements are maintained. In this context, bioprinting offers an advantage over 20 cell cultures […]
