Covid-19 has emerged as a major health concern in 2020, with a mortality rate of 11%. Covid-19 is due to a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which enters the human body through a receptor called ACE-2 in the airway. Asthmatics are usually at increased risk for viral infections, which exacerbated their asthma symptoms, however early clinical studies […]

Calixa Technologies est une jeune entreprise montréalaise utilisant l’intelligence artificielle pour améliorer la découvrabilité des produits de mode, de beauté et de style de vie. Magasiner ce type de produits présente souvent de nombreux points de friction, notamment passer de longues heures à faire défiler de nombreux articles pour ne finalement obtenir que des résultats […]

Energy-efficiency upgrades of existing buildings offer substantial energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions. Infrared thermography (IRT) of the building envelope is a non-destructive test that can be used to target retrofit actions and motivate energy efficiency improvements. Recent advances in IRT technology include using drones to collect thermal imaging data from the buildings efficiently, thoroughly, […]

We develop advanced computational models of particle-laden flows and flows through porous media at the scale of the particle/pore to better understand the momentum, heat and mass transfer that govern these flows. We use the models through performing parallel computing on large supercomputers and generate a large quantity of detailed data in the core of […]

Carbon capture and storage is a feasible, reliable and economic approach to reduce CO2 emission. Llydiminster area on the boarder of the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta is an area with significant heavy oil production and a large amount of CO2 resources from thermal operated heavy oil production facilities and oil upgraders. Deploying CCU technology […]

As the perceived threat from HIV has declined over the decades, many AIDS service organizations have closed. Solidarity around HIV has lessened within queer communities. However, HIV rates and HIV stigma remain high. There is a need to rebuild solidarity in the HIV response. As part of the “HIV in My Day” project, this research […]

L’indsutrie minière vit actuellement d’important changement en raison des nouvelles technologies des communications qui permettent maintenant la transmission efficace de données dans les mines souterraines. Ces nouvelles technologies faciliteront l’automatisation des équipements d’extraction, rendront accessible l’interopérabilité entre ceux-ci et permettront la numérisation des opérations. Le projet de recherche présenté dans cette demande souhaite tirer profit […]

Recently, I applied to the Project Coordinator Internship at TalentClick to contribute to the company to achieve maximum growth in the new global business environment by working on various projects and providing support to the sales, marketing, and operations teams. As a Marketing manager in three different industries, I had the opportunity to coordinate and […]

Les dirigeants de petites et moyennes entreprises forestières, aussi appelés entrepreneurs forestiers, sont au coeur du réseau de création de valeur du secteur forestier au Québec. Il s’avère important d’actualiser nos connaissances sur le sujet, car la situation du secteur forestier a grandement évolué depuis le début des année 2010, par exemple le secteur fait […]

Video Games require a vast array of different computations to present the desired experience. These computations must be completed consistently to make the software responsive to the user. The industry trend towards many separate processors (multi-core) in the same phYSical device and the emergence of network based ‘cloud’ computing have created many opportunities, but also […]

With increasingly urban populations worldwide and a growing need to ensure ecosystem service provision, managers must plan not only for the urban woodlands we have today, but also for what they might become. This project will develop indicators to detect changes urban woodland succession and its repercussions on future biodiversity. Using existing environmental monitoring data […]

Deliberate massive sand influx used to increase oil recovery from shallow heavy oil resources ultimately results in low oil recovery. This means 85-95% of oil would remain unrecovered during the co-production of oil and sand process, which is referred to as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). In this project, we looked at the […]
