Étude de marché pour un réseau de test de communication quantique Numana pilote un projet de 3,75M$ financé par le ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation du Québec et Bell Canada, en collaboration avec la zone d’innovation quantique de Sherbrooke. Ce projet consiste à offrir un accès public d’une infrastructure en communication quantiques, constituée d’une […]

The Chokka Center for Integrative Health is dedicated to develop an innovative and integrative approach to help patients achieve optimal mental health. Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in the world. Diagnosing mental health syndromes have proved challenging for clinicians. But it is essential to screen and diagnosis early to achieve symptom remission […]

L’objectif de mon projet de recherche sera de faire ressortir les similitudes et les disparités concernant les recommandations de remboursements entre les agences d’évaluation des technologies de la santé au Canada (l‘INESSS pour le Québec et l’ACMTS pour l’ensemble des autres provinces) en fonction des différents champs thérapeutiques. Ce projet de recherche sera très pertinent […]

La photogrammétrie est une technique de modélisation où on utilise plusieurs images prises tout autour d’un sujet afin de le reconstituer en 3D. Parfois, les conditions de capture influencent la qualité de la reconstruction 3D : des obstacles obstruent certains points de vue, l’éclairage est mauvais, etc. De plus, quand le sujet est difficile d’accès, […]

There is a pressing need for studies centered on the impact assessment of emerging wood preservatives and the remediation of orphaned sites. The present proposal describes a dual-purpose research project. The project aims to; (i) apply a modified in situ chemical oxidation technique for the removal of pentachlorophenol (Penta) and creosote compounds in orphaned sites […]

Biofilms are clusters of bacterial cells that grow together on a surface. Biofilms are often associated with infections (~65%) but they are exceedingly difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics and there are currently no biofilm-specific treatments available on the market. Some common biofilm-associated infections include skin and sinus infections as well as infections associated with […]

Mental illnesses, particularly depression, are one of the leading causes of global disease burden. In addition to reducing the quality of life of patients and their relatives, they costs billions of dollars annually to the Canadian economy. Unfortunately, current antidepressant drugs are barely satisfactory and have numerous side-effects. The goal of this project is to […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy, and of this group 15% will develop a tissue injury, or side effect, from the treatment. At present, however, there are no reliable methods for predicting a patient’s response to radiation therapy. We have studied mice with different genetic make ups and determined that there are certain genes […]

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is essential in achieving the Paris Agreement’s objectives, reducing emissions and meeting Canada’s Net-Zero target by 2050. To this end, shallow depleted heavy oil reservoirs in Saskatchewan and Alberta provide a good opportunity for large scale CO2 sequestration projects. This research focuses on assessing the potential of CO2 storage in […]

Tranq Sleep Care is focused on providing high-quality sleep care and creating new innovative solutions to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Tranq is currently developing an online web app that aims to help people suffering from insomnia. The challenge in delivering the treatment through an app is that it must be made such that patients […]

Power systems are subjected to randomly occurring normal and abnormal events that can trigger oscillatory response creating unsafe sustained fluctuations in power, voltages, currents and the frequency. Increasing integration of power electronics interfaced renewable generation contribute to new types of oscillations due to control interactions, sometimes supper imposed on classical electromechanical oscillations. Such oscillations can […]
