This project aims to improve our understanding of bubble dynamics in complex, non-Newtonian fluids, which display elastic, viscous, and plastic behaviors. These materials can be found in processes like oil sand extraction and food processing. Current models, such as the Herschel-Bulkley and Bingham models, fail to account for long-term material changes caused by prior bubbles, […]

I will be studying chromosomal inversions in cod. A chromosomal inversion is a segment of the genome that is flipped. A key feature of inversions is that they rarely undergo recombination which causes them to evolve separately. Recombination is the point in cell division when genetic material mixes between two chromosomes to create new combinations […]

Le projet de recherche sera réalisé sur le site de Muskrat Falls, le nouveau barrage électrique situé au Labrador. Ce projet rendra disponible, d’ici 2016, 450 000m3 de bois coupés en prévision de la construction du réservoir hydraulique. Le projet de recherche constitue à réaliser des études technico-économiques et environnementales (analyse du cycle de vie) […]

ESSA Technologies Ltd. is an employee-owned environmental consulting firm committed to tackling complex environmental challenges through innovative solutions. As the organization continues to grow, it faces significant challenges in efficiently managing its financial operations, which are crucial to supporting its collaborative teams and diverse project initiatives. With an increasing workload and multiple projects requiring meticulous […]

My Ph.D. research with Prof. Hanan focuses on developing first-row (3d) transition metal complexes as photosensitizers for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (PHER). This is crucial due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. PHER is crucial in global material, physical, and chemical science research. We are designing organic ligands to fine-tune the coordination sphere of […]

Ce projet vise à développer différents modèles d’algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique afin de planifier la production hydroélectrique à court terme. La résolution de ce problème permet d’obtenir les débits, les volumes et les turbines en marche pour toutes les centrales d’un système de production hydroélectrique. Ayant accès à plusieurs années de données historiques, celles-ci seront exploitées […]

The Macassa Mine has historically been a major producer of gold in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. Recently, Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. discovered a new South Mine Complex (SMC) which is one of the highest grade gold deposits in Canada. Mineralization in the SMC appears more sulphide rich than in the Main Break of the Macassa Mine, […]

Aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Qc), les mytiliculteurs s’approvisionnent en jeunes moules (naissain) dans une lagune côtière, le Bassin du Havre-Aubert (BHA), car les stocks récoltés (captage) présentent une résistance particulière au stress, en lien avec une diversité génétique plus importante. Toutefois, face au manque d’espace disponible au BHA et à une variabilité interannuelle du succès de captage, […]

The OEEE is dedicated to combating oil spills in oceans and enhancing marine ecosystem health. Utilizing advanced satellite imagery analysis and AI modeling, this cutting-edge technology enables the monitoring of vast oceanic areas globally. Its capabilities extend to the early detection of oil spills and the identification of high-risk areas prone to oil spill pollution. […]

Ce travail porte sur la formulation et l’étude du comportement hygrothermique de blocs de terre comprimée (BTC) stabilisés et améliorés par l’ajout d’un liant organique à base d’amidon, à des sols disponibles localement. Le but ultime est de diminuer les coûts et l’impact carbone des constructions. Les premiers résultats obtenus concernent la caractérisation physique, mais […]

The integration of biodiversity value in forest management is becoming more common and widely adopted across many countries. Despite the popularity of conifer plantations and thinning practices in Canada, the current knowledge on long-term effects of mechanical thinning on biodiversity is poorly understood. Saproxylic beetles are a group of insects associated with dead or dying […]

This project is about creating dynamic maps of cattle movement over pasture foraging patches that will be characterized by forage plant composition, cover, and nutrition and takes place at the Thunder Bay Community Pasture (TBCP). The project is intended to test how the costs of implementing rotational grazing on the TBCP can be minimized by […]
