Le projet de recherche entrepris par l’étudiant durant son déplacement au Canada visera à produire des nanocomposites cellulosiques pour le champ d’application diélectrique par impression 3D sur une durée prévue de 4 mois. Ce projet vise à répondre à trois questions scientifiques : 1-Évaluer l’imprimabilité 3D de nanocomposites à base de nanocellulose dans une matrice […]

My project is a comparative history of water development in Chile and British Columbia during the twentieth century. It explores how different societies conceptualized and responded to climatic uncertainty by comparing how Chilean and Canadian engineers involved in water infrastructure projects – namely, hydroelectric and irrigation development schemes – anticipated and dealt with extreme floods […]

A Montréal, la démarche Transition en commun porte au coeur de ses objectifs la volonté´ de construire collectivement une vision de la transition socioécologique partagée par les citoyen.ne.s engagé.e.s dans les différents quartiers de Montréal. Notre projet de recherche vise à nourrir la démarche de Transition en commun en produisant une catégorisation des visions et […]

Jake is going to join the projects using a large-scale boundary layer wind tunnel, a thermally stratified wind tunnel, a climate chamber, and wind tunnel projects conducted at various companies if possible. Lastly, based on the understanding of wind tunnel technologies, he is going to conduct research on the evaluation of wind loading on tall […]

Our research is related to developing mathematical tools for analyzing power systems with massive penetration of renewable power resources, mainly wind, solar and small hydropower: that convex optimization, dynamical systems, model predictive control, optimal control, and passivity-based control. The objective of this small project is to develop model-predictive controls for the integration of renewable energies, […]

Floods have been considered the most common and leading cause of natural disasters worldwide. In Vietnam as well as in Canada, more frequent and severe floods have been documented to growing number of negative health outcomes. Alongside concurrent mitigation efforts, developing accurate methods to identify the health impacts of flooding to adapt will be crucial. […]

The research project, guided by Professor Stephen Smith, focuses on addressing environmental challenges related to water pollution and debris detection in the water areas, with a specific emphasis on garbage and waste detection on the water surface. The project entails a systematic literature review and analysis of various computer vision models to detect and classify […]

The overall objective of this study is to generate lignin-derived sustainable emulsion systems for coating applications. The main focus of this study is on the generation of functional lignin derivatives and then the conversion of these lignin derivatives to lignin nanoparticles. Afterward, the use of lignin nanoparticles in oil-water emulsions will be studied for coating […]

Augmented reality (AR) allows us to add virtual artifacts into the physical world. For example, we can place a 3D medieval castle onto the floor of a classroom, allowing students to explore it. AR supports collaborative learning since students can all see the same virtual artifact, and can interact using natural gestures like pointing. In […]

La stagiaire devra aider les étudiants à la maitrise et au doctorat dans leurs projets pour leur terrain ainsi que leurs laboratoires. Elle devra donc assister les étudiants dans leur prise de données sur le terrain sur les lacs boréaux et en forêt boréale. Elle sera formée sur l’utilisation de nombreux appareils de mesure pour […]

This project will investigate the effects of biostimulants on the response of soybeans to abiotic stress (frost and drought) during germination and early development. The ability of the biostimulants to improve the stress response of soybean will be assessed by comparing the germinative vigor, nitrogen fixation within root nodules, growth and development of roots and […]

Metal contamination in inland waters is of key concern for lake and human health. Unfortunately, our present understanding of metal contamination in lakes across the world is fragmented, as long-term monitoring programs are rare. The study of lake sediments offers an opportunity to address this gap, as sediments preserve a record of the environmental dynamics. […]
