Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity, and pave our path towards a netzero carbon future. Most fusion fuels are hydrogen isotopes, which are heated and compressed into a plasma state. This process is very difficult – if the plasma degrades or behaves poorly, fusion won’t be able to occur. One […]

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and sports-related concussion have complex and variable neuronal pathophysiology. Despite extensive attempts for discovery and identification of protein biomarkers in the blood of concussion patients, the success of proteins markers is limited due to the heterogeneity and complexity of concussion. There are still no reliable protein biomarkers that can accurately […]

3D object reconstruction is a crucial task for autonomous driving. Many important fields in autonomous driving such as prediction, planning, and motion control generally require a faithful representation of the 3D space around the ego vehicle. Reliable and accurate 3D reconstruction with one RGB video alone in autonomous driving is the goal of this project. […]

Steroid drugs and creatine are treatments for muscle weakness in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Steroid drugs can also cause problems like weakening mitochondria which are the energy producing parts of muscle cells. Duchenne also makes it harder for mitochondria to use creatine for energy. This means that both treatments may not be doing the […]

Fourien Inc. is developing a diagnostic medical instrument for rapid and low-cost detection of COVID-19 virus using saliva samples from early-stage infections. The custom-built vibrometer instrument will use micro-sensors to detect the RNA of the virus. There is a need to develop optimized and sensitive modules of optics, electronics and mechanics that are critical for […]

This project is developing new tools to explore for mineral deposits buried in locations where they are difficult to identify using traditional techniques. The tools are based on electronic devices that are relatively inexpensive to produce so that multiple devices can be used and hence the quality of the data will improve. This will make […]

COVID, remote work, remote learning and the accelerated adoption of technology globally has shifted the ways of how we live, learn, and our future lifestyles going forward. The 90% of society face challenges of how best to simplify their navigation and access to knowledge – those who may not have high value networks, and the […]

Quantum computers encode information with qubits. Unfortunately, qubits are subject to error. Those are physical qubits, and one will need many physical qubits to create an error-free qubit, also called a logical qubit. In this project, the university and industry researchers will work together to understand if the error rate of a logical quantum circuit […]

La crise de la COVID a mis en lumière, plus que jamais, l’importance de l’accès à une alimentation saine, locale et durable pour tous et toutes. Elle a aussi mis en lumière les actions d’une diversité de réseaux et d’approches ayant chacun ses forces et ses aspirations. Malheureusement, les synergies entre l’ensemble de ces initiatives […]

The proposed project intends to make an evaluation of the Canadian public sector’s use of technology in budget tracking operations. The purpose is to make a recommendation on a technological “future state” to address the discovered shortcomings and to mitigate future operational failures, as well as evaluating the impact of adopting such innovative technology. The […]

L’émergence récente des produits cosméceutiques représentent le segment dont la croissance est la plus rapide au cours des dernières années dans le marché des cosmétiques et des produits de soin personnel. Ces produits ont des applications variées dont l’efficacité repose sur le choix des ingrédients actifs. Les petits fruits du Québec, tel que la camerise […]

The production of formate salts – one of the most preferable chemicals for de-icing via electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is currently a promising technology. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential material for the manufacture of electrocatalysts because of not only its great abundance and availability but its conversion inducing graphite-based materials, which are excellent catalyst supports. The […]
