Mastercard works with improving and securing payments of millions of cardholders and merchants. One of the primary objectives of Mastercard’s work is to detect and prevent fraudulent payments. There are several ways of committing such fraud, often such fraud can happen due to vulnerability of the merchant to such fraudulent threats and several other underlying […]

Le projet de recherche vise à exploiter la puissance des unités de traitement graphique (GPU) pour accélérer les simulations des transitoires électromagnétiques (Electromagnetic Transients : EMT) dans les réseaux électriques. Le projet comporte deux volets complémentaires. Dans le premier volet, l’accent est mis sur le développement de simulations EMT hautement performantes sur GPU. Nous explorons […]

Climate change is affecting agriculture in Canada in varied and complex ways. While northern areas may experience more favourable conditions for commodity crops, other regions face challenges such as increased temperature variability and extreme weather. Emerging agricultural technologies, including digital agriculture tools, controlled environment agriculture, and advances in agri-genomics, present promising solutions to enhance resilience […]

Ce projet vise à développer un outil pour aider les décideurs à suivre l’état de l’économie circulaire (ÉC) dans la région de Sorel-Tracy, au Québec. L’ÉC est un modèle économique qui cherche à réduire l’extraction de ressources, à optimiser leur usage, tout en minimisant leur impact sur l’environnement. Aujourd’hui, il existe peu d’outils pour mesurer […]

Titanium alloys are used to manufacture aerospace components that require high strength at high operating temperatures such as fan blades, heat shields and jet engine exhaust cones. Parts that have complex geometries are commonly formed at high temperature (around 900°C) so as to achieve maximum ductility during the forming process. By applying a small oscillating […]

This project aims to understand the impact of energy development activities on birdlife and support effective conservation measures. Alberta’s boreal forest plays a crucial role, serving as both a unique ecosystem for millions of breeding birds and a key resource for the oil and gas industry. By analyzing a decade of bird banding data, the […]

Target 2035 is an ambitious goal supported by the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) to develop pharmacological modulators of all proteins encoded within the human genome by the year 2035. These compounds, referred to as chemical probes, are made available to the public and enables researchers to investigate biological processes in a more effective manner. The […]

Inflammation is an undesirable effect that can be caused by the high level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidant molecule. This inflammation is found mostly in small and large intestines area. Catalase, is a protein (antioxidant agent). It is able to decompose large quantities of H2O2 into water and oxygen and thus, eliminating this harmful […]

The timber-harvesting and processing industries anticipate that the use of robotics and AI technologies will increase productivity, safety and job satisfaction of machine operators to help address the shrinking labor force. We have engaged with our partner, FPInnovations, on research to increase the autonomy of log-loading machines with the goal to demonstrate the technology on […]

The objective of this research project is to design, fabricate and test a prototype wireless power transmission system that uses a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system to receive the power beam. By using a TPV system as the receiver (instead of a photovoltaic cell) the electromagnetic radiation can have almost any wavelength. This opens a broad range […]

As an anti-inflammatory drug has been recently approved to prevent heart attacks in heart disease patients, specific blood tests are needed to guide the application of such drugs. There is currently no blood test to identify patients who may benefit from this drug. This project aims to evaluate the accuracy of a current clinical blood […]
