Today, the world faces climate change, uncoordinated depletion of natural resources and rapid urbanization. Buildings in cities account for about 25% of the global energy consumption and 15% of the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Likewise, in the province of Québec, buildings are responsible for a large share of the total energy use. A recent study […]

Marine icing problems pose significant risk to both marine vessel stability and human safety during harsh weather operations. The project will address a need for better physical understanding of marine icing phenomena and the development of appropriate sensors for detecting marine icing conditions. Current technologies have proven inadequate for marine conditions due to the complex […]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become ubiquitous. However, many challenges still need to be addressed to capitalize on their unique capabilities to support the creation of new Internet-of-Things services. The main difficulty is managing a swarm of UAVs in challenging environments. This project focuses on developing and evaluating a new UAV-based persistent surveillance system (UPSS) […]

City staff are guided by policies when making decisions about their community. Some cities have taken the initiative to adopt a policy that embeds equity considerations into decision making. However, many other cities are still earlier in their path to creating more equitable communities and need support. Researchers and planning practitioners have heard from city […]

Cell-based therapies have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of chronic diseases such as endocrine and autoimmune disorders, neurological degeneration, and cancer. These treatments utilize cells as localized biofactories to secrete therapeutic molecules. However, one major roadblock in efficiently utilizing cell-based therapies is the cells survival and wellbeing in bioprinted devices. This is due to […]

Virtual reality surgery simulation is an emerging technology in surgeon training to train surgical motor skills in virtual environments. This technology reduces the need for training on patients, cadavers, and animals, and enables objective evaluation of the skill acquisition process in a systematic manner. Although this technology has attracted a great deal of interest in […]

The research project bridges across international architectural exhibitions using nextgeneration dissemination venues, including online and physical screenings. The project includes the immersive architectural environment Grove and its associated CGI film Grove Cradle. The film was created for the 17th Venice Biennale of Architecture as a collaboration between Professor Philip Beesley of Canada, Warren Du Preez […]

L’autonomisation des populations noires au Canada passe notamment par l’entrepreneuriat. Les gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux et les acteurs privés (banques…) ont mis en place des programmes de financement et d’aide à l’accompagnement. Des écosystèmes entrepreneuriaux se sont renforcés ou ont émergé récemment. Notre étude vise à comprendre leur fonctionnement, leurs pratiques et les conditions de […]

In order to address expanding blockchain technology adoption and rapidly developing digital asset regulatory frameworks, this project, through research and reporting, will assist in developing an updated and clear understanding of regulatory environments to better inform businesses seeking to engage in this market.
