Le récents progrès dans le domaine de la numérisation 3D (SLAM, Lidar, lumière structurée, photogrammétrie, etc.) ont ouvert de nouvelles portes quant à la possibilité de réaliser des maquettes numériques interactive. Cependant, les outils traditionnels pour traiter les données brutes (nuage de point) de ces capteurs ne permettent pas de générer un modèle numérique adapté […]

Optimal Computational Algorithms, Inc. (OCA) provides the highest quality mathematical software possible. Our goal is to produce scientific software with nearoptimal performance on increasingly parallel systems, while assuring software correctness by construction. This research project continues a partnership with McMaster University, and individual internship projects will focus on extending OCA’s tools to target new computations […]

Le projet vise à identifier les pratiques individuelles d’immunisation qui présentent la meilleure efficience économique dans la réduction du risque d’inondation au Québec pour les citoyens riverains et l’ensemble de la société. Nous allons d’abord quantifier les coûts et les bénéfices de différentes mesures de protection et de réduction du risque d’inondation pour un propriétaire […]

There is a disconnect between the development of advanced research methods in academia, and their use to inform real-world policies. The purpose of this research is to apply rigorous tools to support real-world policy questions at the local, regional, and global level, and assist various types of institutions meet their strategic objectives. At the local […]

The aim of this project is to improve the user experience of clients ordering online on one the portals of restaurants working with UEAT. This improvement will be in the form of smart recommendations based on the restaurant, time and the user themself. This will be done with an emphasis on respect for user privacy […]

Optimal trade execution is a well-known problem in quantitative finance. It helps financial actors who trade large quantities of a given asset minimize their risk and their adverse price impact. The problem’s complexity is multiplied when considering highly fragmented markets, such as those existing today for digital assets. The most recent advances in reinforcement learning […]

Pulp and paper activated sludge is produced in large quantity and its safe disposal in the environment is a worldwide problem. The long-term goal of our research is to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) or bioplastics using sludge as a source of microorganisms or as a raw material and waste materials as an extra carbon source. INRS […]

Au Québec, l’analyse d’un sol est basée sur des propriétés chimiques qui considèrent le pH, la matière organique et les éléments nutritifs. Cependant, pour assurer la productivité et la santé des sols à long terme, les propriétés physiques et biologiques devraient aussi être évaluées. L’objectif de ce projet est de fournir un modèle d’interprétation de […]

The CTD is a rosette structure which is circular in shape and houses a number of elements. These elements include sensors, water sample bottles, ropes and cables to support the CTD structure. The sensors included in the CTD are not limited to conductivity, temperature and depth, but also include sensors to determine other physical properties. […]

HIV prevention is a growing, and essential facet, of halting the HIV epidemic. Reducing the transmission of HIV and ensuring individuals are tested and put on antiretroviral therapy (ART) cannot effectively and efficiently be accomplished without decisions that are founded on high-quality evidence. Current projects focus on data availability and use among decision-makers and actors […]

Advancement of green chemistry, the principles of which are more efficient, cost effective and environmental-friendly processes can be achieved through the use of improved catalysts. In this project, a novel, inherently green synthesis process will be used to produce multifunctional heterogeneous nanocomposite catalyst system that can be applied to facilitate tandem reactions. The synthesis method […]

The objective of the proposed research is to carry out numerical and experimental studies on the performance degradation of propeller blades in three different scales with leading-edge (LE) manufacturing tolerances. In the experimental studies, three single propeller blades in three scales (1:1, 1:2 and 3:4) will be tested in a cavitation tunnel. Flow velocities and […]
