The use of aluminum alloys in automotive applications is increasing since the weight of the vehicle can be decreased. This is beneficial for both internal combustion and battery powered vehicles, to increase fuel economy and increase vehicle range, respectively. However, in general, aluminum alloys are more difficult to form and their performance during a vehicle […]

Currently, the service provided by GRAD4 allows buyers to upload their designs for quotes from the suppliers. However, there is no initial manufacturability check for buyers to evaluate their parts before submitting their quotes. Buyers may get feedback from the suppliers, which indicates that their parts are not able to be manufacturable after a several-days […]

La cueillette de champignons ectomycorhiziens comestibles gagne beaucoup en popularité dans le Bas-St-Laurent. Il est nécessaire d’acquérir des données fiables sur les besoins des champignons, afin de développer un nouveau modèle de foresterie intégrant cette ressource. Ce projet vise à identifier les espèces végétales qui s’associent à l’appareil végétatif de certains champignons comestibles via des […]

Multiplayer video game refers to games in which more than a single person can play at the same time, either by collaboration or competition. The number of available multiplayer games is tremendous and is still growing. They can range from 2 players to few thousands (e.g., massively multiplayer online role-playing game). In order to ensure […]

This project aims to develop a new technology for the production of biodegradable plastics that can decompose under various natural conditions, including soil and oceans, by up to 90%, which minimizes plastic waste and its environmental footprint. The technology will first target application in food packaging and drink containers, which is a main market for […]

CAP Immobilier, over the years, has greatly extended the number of characteristics entering into the real estate valuation formula, and has digitized all this data within their database. With the help of JACOBB and this internship, CAP Immobilier expects to be able to quantify the contributory element component value a property accurately and having never […]

Flyscan a pour mission de révolutionner la télédétection des hydrocarbures liquides au sein des réseaux de pipeline afin d’assurer la protection des infrastructures énergétiques, et ce, grâce à une technologie de pointe et aérienne qui permet d’automatiser le processus de détection, d’augmenter la rapidité de la détection des fuites, d’améliorer la prise de décision pour […]

HyperMabs is a biopharmaceutical company that designs and develops innovative therapeutics targeting lung diseases. HyperMabs is currently evaluating a drug candidate developed using in-silico methods to target lung disease. For this project, we aim to study the biodistribution of HyperMabs therapeutic, currently in its pre-clinical stage designed to treat several lung diseases. To achieve this, […]

We study a novel type of optical transistors using metallic nanohole arrays. The transistors operate based on strong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons and excitons via the metallic nanofeatures. One such transistor can act as a control unit, a photo-detector or a modulator and can open innovative practical applications in many fields. The physical structures […]

A climatic chamber can replicate the weather conditions for an entire year, which allows tests to be performed faster, in weeks instead of years and thereby speeding up the product development circle. In traditional climatic wind tunnels, the test vehicles are usually strapped to the floor, and there is no relative motion, with the associated […]

This research project builds on a strong partnership with Parallel Architecture, an architecture and planning firm interested in exploring the role of private city-builders in redressing the housing affordability crisis and finding progressive ways of leveraging current federal, provincial, and local policies. This project seeks to examine: (1) how can new mixed-use suburban development meet […]

This project concerns the efficient simulation of constrained-multi body systems with applications in training simulations. For instance, a crane on a construction site can be modeled and simulated as a collection of rigid bodies connected by rotational joints. Simulation of contact and friction is similar but a challenge because the force is bounded (i.e., forces […]
