This partnership project with Hydro-Québec focuses on providing a better-informed optimization for service point location and modernizing the architecture of the optimization system. Our objective is to leverage the abundant data from Hydro-Québec to build robust forecasting models that can predict the workload demand at each potential or available service point. We also aim to […]

Our ultimate goal is to develop small molecule drugs and validate their roles in viral replication inhibition. Collectively, we have the expertise in molecular and cell biology, biochemical, structural biophysical, and drug-discovery platforms. We have all the required infrastructure and resources available to realize our goals. Development of small molecule drug as antivirals include many […]

Au niveau des municipalités, la gestion des ponceaux est de la responsabilité des gestionnaires de la voirie. Cependant, l’inventaire complet des ponceaux n’est pas toujours disponible en raison de l’éloignement de certaines zones rurales, et la non disponibilité historique des données du ministère des Transports du Québec pour ce type d’infrastructure. Afin de détecter et […]

Current analytical methods for the extraction of lipid-soluble compounds (fatty acids, cholesterol, antibiotics, pesticides, vitamins) are costly and time-consuming. Recently, we have assessed a novel patent-pending “kit” method for extracting fatty acids and cholesterol from food and tissues with great success. We propose to continue testing this method for extraction of lipid-soluble vitamins, pesticides and […]

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different parts […]

The intent of this research project is to make iCBT technologies safer, and evidenced based for the Canadian populations. Many available products on the market have not been tested or evaluated for safety and whether or not they are effective in helping people self-manage their mental health needs is unknown. The research and interviews from […]

The proposed research develops a transdermal alcohol detection system. The system is comprised of an array of polymer based MEMS sensors and a sensor measurement circuit. The system analyzes gases exuded from the skin – the gases are chemical mixtures that may (or may not) contain ethanol. No known polymers respond only to ethanol; however, […]

FOP EXPERTS CONSEILS est une firme (PME) de consultation située dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal qui supporte des clients dans le domaine de l’ingénierie et des sciences dans le segment (bio)pharmaceutique, agroalimentaire, cosmétiques, des dispositifs médicaux et des TIC. Face à la concurrence qui s’évit dans les différents segments de marchés identifiés, jumelée à […]

People with Intellectual Disability (ID) experience higher rates of mental health disorders compared to the general population and yet access services to a lesser degree. The present project will begin to address the lack of access to mental health services by providing a resource designed to enhance mental health literacy, and provide validated self-management strategies […]

Canadians have experienced tremendous mental health challenges over the last few years. At the same time, systems to address mental health are over-burdened. There is thus a clear need to scalable and low-cost technologies that could support the mental and emotional wellbeing of Canadians. This project is about developing innovations in artificial intelligence that could […]

The project is mainly in the domain of achieving real-time computational speed of methods to remove noise from video signals (for example, those taken by a professional cinema camera). Specifically, in this project, we propose first to improve the speed of current technology that we have developed in previous MITACS projects, in order to make […]

The general objective of this project is to ensure that the development cycles for the ongoing ARF project are reliable and will focus on areas of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Automated testing evaluating and using tools such as Cypress or Enzyme and increasing observability of the solution by exploring tools like AWS XRay […]
