Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are a clean source of energy and a promising candidate for replacing internal combustion engines in automotive applications. However, the commercial use of fuel cells in such applications faces significant challenges on cost and durability. This project aims to address the concerns around fuel cell durability with a focus on […]

For this project, we will develop the statistical theory to support, as well as a full functioning prototype for, a large-scale multidimensional data visualization application. This application, which will be fully scalable, will include an interactive user dashboard with customizable widgets. By taking a methodological approach to research, along with an agile approach to development, […]

Actuellement, les médicaments sous ordonnance sont testés rigoureusement durant plusieurs années, d’abord sur des cellules animales et humaines, puis sur des animaux et finalement chez des humains avant de pouvoir être approuvés par une agence règlementaire telle que Santé Canada. Pour certains médicaments, les études cliniques chez les humains peuvent être difficiles ou même impossibles […]

Buildings have a high share of energy consumption in Canada. Real-time monitoring and analysis of energy use data can assist in improving the performance of the building and help reduce operating costs, lower utility bills, increase equipment life, improve occupants’ comfort, and increase retention and leasing rates; all while lowering carbon emissions. Joule M&V AI […]

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada. A promising new way to treat cancer is through the administration of immune cells that target the cancer – an approach called cancer immunotherapy. The goal of this project is to engineer better culture vessels to produce dendritic cells. Dendritic cells are the “gatekeepers” of our […]

Le projet de recherche a pour sujet Ie developpement d’un modele predictif des elections provinciales du Quebec en se basant sur les donnees historiques des elections 2008 ainsi que sur les donnees de sondages effectuees avant Ie scrutin. L’objectif est de chercher un modele qui va se rapprocher de la realite en predisant Ie mieux […]

La fatigue etant la principale causes de defaillance des turbines hydroelectriques, il devient essentiel d’estimer la performance des methodes d’inspection non destructives presentement utilisees par les producteurs d’energie (inspection visuelle etlou ultrasonore) pour detecter et caracteriser les manifestations de ceUe fatigue. Le developpement de modeles probabilistes, qui lient I’historique des conditions operatoires des turbines, I’evolution […]

Stroke is a devastating disease that causes a loss of blood to the brain and neuronal death. The sustained inflammation caused by stroke is associated with poor outcomes. Currently, there are no effective treatment options. Exciting new studies have shown a link between bacteria in the gut and brain. This has generated significant interest regarding […]

The discrimination between viral and bacterial infections has long been a goal in the field of point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics. Such a diagnostic tool would prevent the over-prescription of antibiotics, a leading cause of antimicrobial resistance. Current standard methods involve sending patient samples (throat swabs, blood, urine) to specialized clinical labs. This usually involves expensive and […]

The integrity of energy pipelines is managed using information obtained from in-line inspections, which are periodically performed non-destructive inspections of the pipe wall to detect and size defects like corrosion, cracks, and dents. The coordinate systems for referencing the locations of the detected defects varies from inspection to inspection. It is therefore necessary to align […]

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a kind of chronic neurodevelopmental disorders that detrimentally affect the behavior and development in children. There is a tight need for efficient treatment. Scientific evidences have shown that the gut microbiota as well as their metabolites may mediate the responsiveness to changes in diet (e.g. ketogenic diet). However, clinically relevant […]

L’utilisation des outils d’analyse du cycle de vie permet de réduire considérablement l’impact environnemental des bâtiments. À l’aide de ces résultats, les concepteurs peuvent améliorer la performance environnementale de leurs bâtiments. Toutefois, l’utilisation de ces outils dans le domaine est encore très peu répandue. Afin de faciliter leur adoption, plusieurs fournisseurs de logiciels proposent des […]
