This project aims to develop advanced hybrid cooling strategies for electric vehicle (EV) battery systems by integrating turbulence-enhanced flow control with passive air and active liquid cooling methods. Using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes k-omega model, the research will investigate the role of turbulence in improving heat dissipation, temperature uniformity, and overall thermal performance. By combining […]

Le projet vise à identifier les modalités technologiques (ex., application mobile, messagerie instantanée, jeux sérieux, etc.) utilisées dans les interventions existantes pour prévenir les TCA; et comparer leurs efficacités. De plus, ce projet examinera les différents publics cibles et les caractéristiques des individus ciblés par les interventions numériques existantes pour prévenir les TCA. Cela inclut, […]

Guide´ par cette mission, Laura Le´merveil exploite de´jà le potentiel de l’art et notamment la musique au sein de son offre de services. (2) Ce projet émane de la volonté de […]

This project aims to enhance Independence Robotics’ assistive robotic system by making it more powerful, modular, and reliable. We will upgrade the system’s hardware by transitioning from an Arduino Mega to an ESP32 microcontroller and integrating CAN bus communication for better sensor and actuator support. On the software side, we will develop real-time teleoperation controls […]

This project aims to develop advanced machine learning models to analyze arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms from patients in intensive care units (ICUs). By using a large dataset and cutting-edge techniques like transformer architectures and contrastive learning, the goal is to create models that can accurately predict patient outcomes, such as ICU mortality and hospital […]

This research project pioneers the development of novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/copper hybrid materials through electrochemical intercalation and exfoliation techniques. By transforming readily available powdered molybdenite—a byproduct of Canadian mining operations—into atomically thin layers with enhanced properties, the work creates a sustainable pathway for producing high-performance two-dimensional materials without organic additives that typically compromise conductivity. The […]

This project aims to develop and evaluate an advanced augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based system designed to enhance conversational fluency for intermediate-to-advanced language learners. By integrating language practice into everyday environments, the system will offer immersive and interactive learning experiences without reliance on traditional classroom instruction or physical conversation partners. Existing literature indicates […]

The increasing adoption of blockchain technology, particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi), highlights the critical need for automated and efficient auditing tools for smart contracts and transaction monitoring. Traditional manual auditing methods are slow, labor-intensive, and insufficient to manage the growing complexity of smart contracts. By integrating AI-based techniques, this project aims to develop automated tools […]

A common symptom of Parkinson’s Disease is freezing of gait (FoG), which entails that patients freeze while walking and cannot continue to walk. A way to stop the FoG is to prove some sort of external stimulus (cueing). This project entails the creation of a device to detect FoG (based on previous devices) and provide […]

The proposed research project investigates how the Telepresence technology (Connected North) has an impact on Northern students’ and teachers’ educational experience. Our goal is to assess the impact of its implementation within three contexts: connecting students to students, connecting students to experts, and connecting teachers to teachers. To this end, we will administer questionnaires to […]

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among women, with over 30,000 new cases diagnosed across Canada every year. Most patients undergo breast conserving surgery to remove the tumour, but in over 20% of cases, some of the cancerous tissue is missed, requiring the patient to have a second surgery. We are currently developing […]

This project aims to help bring a new type of filtration membrane—made from a strong and reusable material called PEEK—to the market, specifically for use in making biopharmaceutical drugs. The main goal is to understand the current market, talk to companies and other key stakeholders to identify their specific needs, and develop a clear plan […]
