The right to information, although central to today’s societies, is both currently undervalued and underperforming. The main reason for this is that changes in the informational landscape and in the role of the State in our societies has impacted on both the meaning of information, and the contours and extent of the right to information. […]

The main objective of this research is to calculate Control performance standards in an interconnected power system without running the time domain simulation. Using a faster approach which requires probability distribution of load change. PSCAD and PSSE simulation tools will be used to carry out the research. System identification technique will be used to estimate […]

This project is about understanding and keeping track of personal wellbeing over time. While wellbeing apps have helped people closely monitor various aspects of their lives, there’s still a challenge in effectively using this data for self-improvement. I’ll work with UpBeing to determine the best ways to measure wellbeing and identify factors contributing to improved […]

This project explores the potential of low-tech biochar production using an invasive species to mitigate climate change and generate carbon credits. Focused on Kenya, the research assesses the viability of this practice, considering factors like feedstock availability, production data, and environmental impacts. The team aims to provide communities, policymakers, and investors with valuable insights through […]

Enormous quantities of machine-readable data, measured in many terabytes, are readily available. The sources include the world-wide web, publicly available databases, raw experimental data, unannotated genomic sequences generated by biochemical tools, and so on. However, data does not necessarily equal useful information. More often than not, the data has to be intelligently processed, interpreted, transformed, […]

Based on current and potential client feedback, our project is focused to develop a modern data pipeline for data cleaning, validation and audits. We also focus on helping clients who are interested in investing in certain portfolio companies who wish to evaluate the ESG performance of a company which might not have a system that […]

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 […]
