L’organisme partenaire, soit le CERFO, réalise un mandat de recherche, afin de développer un modèle de gouvernance et de gestion des ressources forestières inspiré du concept des forêts communautaires du nord-est des États-Unis, dans le cadre d’un exercice de planification intégrée à la Forêt Hereford, localisée en Estrie. L’objectif du stage est de définir les […]

NeuroRx is an imaging contract research organization (CRO) specialized in the central nervous system (CNS). This company utilizes state-of-the-art digital image processing techniques to produce accurate and precise outcome measures for clinical trials of drugs in development. Prior to analysis, all scans must pass Quality Control (QC). The goal of my project is to incorporate […]

We propose to design and build an advanced visual analytics tool to support the analysis of large-scale e-commerce datasets. This data is generated by software platforms that collect information about the performance of e-commerce systems, consumer behaviour, and messages sent by retailers to consumers. Current e-commerce tools provide only simple overview statistics because of the […]

The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental protection policy convergence of governance for Ontario’s municipal water sectors, pertaining to drinking water, wastewater and stormwater. The study will analyze a number of Ontario municipalities that are voluntarily adopting Quality Management Systems (QMSs) and/or Environmental Management Systems (EMSs). The expected benefit for the partner […]

This project that aims to develop and establish the production and analyses of a radioactive product at the CRCHUM Radiochemistry and Cyclotron laboratory for future use in human clinical trials using an imaging methodology called positron emission tomography (PET). This PET probe allows for the detection and measurement of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a protein […]

In this project an acoustic network is studied to reduce the data transmission requirement in a multi-static sonar network. A cross-layer communication architecture is proposed to optimize the acoustic network performance. Using this technique, the network will be informed with the physical conditions of the link to optimize the overall reliability of the data transfer. […]

In this research project, the separator of rechargeable hybrid aqueous batteries (REHABs) is mechanically strengthened with graphene oxide derivatives. ReHABs comprise of a lithium intercalation cathode, zinc anode and an aqueous electrolyte. One of the problems with current ReHABs is the zinc dendritic growth and propagation from the anode, which significantly reduces its operating lifetime. […]

The necessity of cost-efficient and reliable wastewater treatment processes has increased in order to meet more stringent levels of environmental regulations, increased system reliability requirements and tightening operational budgets. To aid in meeting these operational goals, a strong market for low-cost, high-fidelity sensor technology that can relay real-time information to system operators on all aspects […]

Games have, in the last decade, become an important tool for teaching in both the education and business section. The application of games, and game mechanics, in these areas is often called gamification. The aim of this project is to explore how games can be used to create rich, first hand, experiences that can be […]

Compte tenu de l’accroissement du besoin énergétique auquel le monde devra faire face dans les prochaines décennies, l’industrie de l’énergie tend sans cesse à améliorer le rendement et la fiabilité de ses équipements. Une des avenues envisagées est d’augmenter la puissance des alternateurs hydroélectriques existants, repoussant ainsi la construction de nouvelles centrales. Beaucoup de ces […]

The main goal of this project is to develop a general set of computational solutions that could be used to prevent and manage emergency situations in transportation and water management networks by developing a monitoring and predictive model. This monitoring and predictive model will be based on topological data analysis (TDA) in a fashion similar […]

The proposed research project aims at evaluating and improving a technique in Statistical Natural Processing called Topic Modelling in order to apply it to real-life scenarios. Topic modeling is a techniques that allows the quick discovery of what the main topics of a document collection are, and thus automatically answers the question “What do these […]
