This research project, conducted by McGill University in collaboration with Heritage Standing Inc., aims to preserve the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Saint John, New Brunswick. The cathedral, a heritage-designated site, faces structural challenges due to aging and past interventions. The focus will be on the main tower, analyzing its current condition, especially concerning […]

Au cours des dernières années, le Parc National du Mont Tremblant (PNMT) se questionne sur le caractère domestique et indigène de certaines communautés de poissons dans ses lacs prioritaires, particulièrement pour les lacs à omble de fontaine (Salvelinus fontinalis) et touladi (Salvelinus namaycush). L’impact humain sur les communautés de poissons semble important (ensemencements, contamination des […]

On a global scale, there’s a big effort to set ambitious goals for cutting down on the amount of carbon emissions we release into the atmosphere. To achieve this, we need to upgrade and expand our electrical grid so it can handle the increased use of electricity in various sectors. The problem is that there […]

Le projet de recherche proposé consiste en le développement d’un nouveau produit de litière pour animaux valorisant les boues de désencrage (BD) résiduelles provenant des procédés de fabrication et de recyclage du papier. Ce projet s’inscrit clairement dans la volonté du collaborateur INTERSAND de diminuer son empreinte écologique liée à l’utilisation de bentonite non biodégradable […]

Le projet est une continuité des efforts de recherche en collaboration avec d’Hydro-Québec (H.-Q.) ayant pour finalité d’améliorer la durabilité des installations hydro-électriques via une connaissance plus juste et étendue du comportement en fatigue des métaux. Le contexte est plus particulièrement focalisé sur la tenue en fatigue des roues de turbine qui sont des assemblages […]

Hydro-Québec fait face à un contexte où la pérennité des actifs de production devient un enjeu majeur alors qu’elle s’apprête à réfectionner plusieurs de ses alternateurs et malgré le rythme, il est important d’être en mesure de maintenir les exigences et la qualité. Ce projet est important pour Hydro-Québec ainsi que pour l’approvisionnement énergétique du […]

Design and deploy a system that allows users to utilize specific generative AI models such as Large Language Models in order to fine-tune them on data specific to a particular domain to perform large-scale data analysis, prediction, and various outputs.

In this project, we plan to address the specific application and problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of its product development of photoconductive antennas, which is using its photoconductive antennas for characterizing performance of quantum cascade lasers (QCL) in time-domain measurement setup by demonstrating the capability of its proprietary terahertz sensor technology […]

Aqua-Cell Energy Inc., the partner organization, is developing low-cost long-duration saltwater flow batteries (LDSFB) that utilize safe chemicals and have a unique design. The technology being developed can enable large amounts of energy to be stored at a low cost. The research being performed by the intern, which would be supported in part by the […]

This research project is dedicated to advancing seismic analysis practices for geological structures. The primary objective is to develop a suite of reliable and user-friendly modeling tools to enhance our ability to predict and mitigate the effects of earthquakes, particularly focusing on soil liquefaction. This involves robust numerical implementation of an advanced sand constitutive model […]

While climate change must be countered through effective mitigation and adaptation approaches at the global, national, and local levels, implementing effective policies to do so can only be accomplished through buy in by a critical mass of citizens. However, we know that to-date this remains a challenging prospect to accomplish both in the Global North […]
