The “Drone-Based Search and Rescue (SAR) System in Dense Forests” project aims to transform SAR operations using a coordinated swarm of drones equipped with advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms. These drones, launched from DJI dock stations and connected via Starlink satellite technology, will efficiently locate missing persons in densely forested areas. By processing […]

Le circuit innovant de mycoremédiation que nous proposons permettra non seulement de décontaminer plusieurs gisements de résidus problématiques provenant des industries du textile, de l’alimentation et de la construction, mais aussi d’éco-concevoir une alternative au polystyrène pour la protection et l’isolation. Déjà au stade de la preuve de concept avancée, ces myco-matériaux, littéralement tissés par […]

The general goal of this research is to analyze how linked phenomena to climate change are affecting the vulnerable communities in Latin America, what triggers forced migrations, and evaluate violations of human rights faced by environmental migrants in all stages of their movement. We will also examine existing policies and practices aimed at protecting their […]

Printed electronics has the potential to deliver low-cost, high-volume fabrication of electronic devices, but is currently held back by the lack of a specialized quality control solution. Today, verification of functional properties such as conductivity is done with teams of technicians using simple multimeter probes, lacking the speed and accuracy required to characterize roll-to-roll production. […]

Waste paper is considered to have no value, destined for landfills. There is significant potential to process this waste and convert it to value added carbon-based products that will be developed, tested, and produced, namely Biochar, activated carbon, and carbon electrodes. Biochar is used in the agriculture industry for soil remediation to promote plant growth, […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

My Ph.D. research with Prof. Hanan focuses on developing first-row (3d) transition metal complexes as photosensitizers for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (PHER). This is crucial due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. PHER is crucial in global material, physical, and chemical science research. We are designing organic ligands to fine-tune the coordination sphere of […]

Carbon dioxide (CO2) atmospheric concentration has increased by 50% (from 280 ppm to 420 ppm) in the last century. Despite efforts to reduce emissions, industries vital to our economy, such as mining, marine transportation, and aviation, remain dependent on fossil fuels for their operations. These sectors are considered hard-to-decarbonize because they lack viable alternatives to […]

This project aims to quantify defects in the probability framework for 2-dimensional (2D) materials with superior performance using optical techniques, primarily focusing on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Additionally, defects are an important factor influencing the performance of single-photon emitters (SPEs), a type of quantum device. This project will directly relate the SPE performance with defect concentration. […]

This internship, in collaboration with the Public Actions Group of ICESI University (GAPI), focuses on the critical study of climate change’s impact on human migration and human rights. Our investigation will cover seven key topics: natural phenomena driving human mobility, the effects of climate-induced migration on human rights, the vulnerabilities of migrating groups, livelihood losses […]

Les cornières en carton sont des produits d’emballage. L’entreprise Abzac et l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières travaillent conjointement à rendre ces produits plus écoresponsables et à développer des essais pour évaluer leur performance. La norme actuelle pour évaluer les cornières en compression présente une lacune majeure en négligeant le flambement, sous-estimant ainsi la performance réelle […]

Notre projet vise à développer un mécanisme formel d’aide à la décision, permettant aux développeurs de systèmes informatiques d’optimiser la stabilité de leurs systèmes en considérant leur durabilité économique et environnementale. Ce mécanisme se basera sur les objectives de stabilité des systèmes, les composantes disponibles pour réutilisation et le contexte de développement. Cela permettra d’améliorer […]
