Robotics will transform the construction industry in the next decade, yet Canada is lagging in producing the highly qualified professionals needed to support that transformation. With a high percentage of the construction workforce retiring in the next five years, Canada must find ways to integrate robotics into the processes of design and fabrication of our […]

Écohabitation développe une démarche complète de services afin d’aider les municipalités à effectuer leur transition écologique et éco-énergétique (accompagnement, développement de programmes, service d’expertise, formations, conseil…), et ce, afin de répondre à une demande et une urgence exprimées. La question de la voie à prendre pour réussir ces transitions est un sujet de débat à […]

Fastercom est une entreprise spécialisée dans le développement d’algorithmes et de logiciels permettant de résoudre différentes formes du problème de tournée de véhicules, le « Vehicle Routing Problem » (VRP). Les contraintes considérées sont généralement très diverses et varient selon les domaines des clients. L’objectif de ce projet est de concevoir une méthode visant à […]

The goal between the candidate and Ignitabull is to collaborate on building brand design assets. At the end of the project, we would like to have successfully rebranded Ignitabull brand, sales and investor decks, website, UX of our database. Stretch goals are to also develop processes to include bridging creative to performance with data, build […]

This study aims to identify the key challenges faced by artisanal and small-scale miners globally, as well as to provide cases of leading practices taken by governments, international organizations, large-scale mining companies and ASM groups to strengthen the governance capacity within the ASM sector. This study is qualitative in nature and will be conducted primarily […]

Today, quantum computers of any architecture still operate in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) regime, with systems composed of tens to hundreds of noisy qubits that are not protected from errors. To meaningfully solve challenging problems from industries using quantum computers, we need to make a system that is large enough in scale and robust […]

The goal of our project is to develop a portable, laser-based technique for in-situ analysis of agricultural soils. This work will implement and enhance a technique known as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for in-situ measurements of key soil properties, such as carbon content. LIBS is a minimally invasive detection technique, capable of rapid multielemental […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Industrial, shipping, and agricultural activity over the last 100+ years have contributed a significant number of contaminants to the St. Lawrence River, causing health and cultural consequences for the local population, especially the local Indigenous community. Contaminants also affect the local ecosystem, and these impacts need to be better understood in the St. Lawrence River. […]

Over 5000 rare genetic diseases collectively affect 1 in 12 Canadians. For these disorders about 10% of patients share a common mutation type that introduces a premature termination codon (PTC) in the gene and results in truncated and non-functional protein. The previously found PTC suppressors have limited effect or unacceptable side effects. The goal of […]

Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams have traditionally been used in thermal insulation applications. These foams, however, are characterized by a high carbon footprint and high manufacturing costs since the two main reagents used to make such foams are petroleum based and quite expensive. Hence, the objective of this work is to reduce the carbon footprint and […]

There is an increased threat of disease caused by viruses transmitted by mosquitoes because of changes in climate and land use. In general, two types of viruses are found in mosquitoes: viruses transmitted to humans and animals that can cause disease, like West Nile virus, and viruses that only infect the mosquito, called insect-specific viruses. […]
