Semiconducting polymers (SPs) are at the forefront of the next generation of organic electronics. They enable seamless integration into various biological and industrial applications. SPs can be engineered to be mechanically compliant and soft, giving them an advantage over silicon-based electronics. Their electronic and solid-state properties also make them promising candidates for emerging organic electronics. […]

Le présent projet répond à la nécessité de développer des outils visant l’autonomisation et l’amélioration de la santé générale des jeunes atteints de pathologies chroniques. À cet effet, la plateforme Inpowr est un espace web qui permet de jauger son bien-être personnel par l’entremise de questions générales, de se fixer des buts précis, des comportements […]

In this project, we explore using augmented reality avatars for supporting learning in low-traffic makerspaces. While makerspaces primarily provide community members with access to tools, they also serve as places to learn where community members build expertise with the equipment and fabrication processes. This learning process can either be guided formally using the makerspace as […]

Wind energy technology plays a crucial role in the global strategy for a green transition, with a significant acceleration in deploying new wind power plants being essential to meet global CO2 reduction targets. In this context, research in numerical simulation can provide the renewable energy sector with reliable tools for new wind farm design, land […]

While mountain biking is a sport of growing popularity among adolescents and adults alike, it is also notoriously injurious. Mountain biking is associated with high rates of head injuries, and exposure to sub-concussive head acceleration events. Despite this, limited research has investigated the extent to which mountain biking participation contributes to brain injury and cognitive […]

La mesure de pression artérielle en continue et sans brassard est largement convoitée par le milieu clinique. Ce stage permettra de contribuer à une preuve de concept qui pourrait permettre cette mesure. Plus précisement, ce stage consiste à développer l’electronique permettant l’acquisition des données provenant de différents capteurs utilisé dans une telle mesure.

Le réseau électrique d’Hydro-Québec est protégé par un peu plus de 9000 disjoncteurs haute et moyenne tension. La maintenance des disjoncteurs est d’une importance absolue pour assurer leur fiabilité et leur longévité de service. Cependant, le réseau est vieillissant et une maintenance systématique n’est pas une solution optimale pour garantir leur fiabilité qui change avec […]

TERRA FIRMA (TF), an InterAccess-led project, aims to grow relationships between arts organizations and Black, Indigenous, and Disability Justice-centred (BIDJ) communities by platforming, learning from, and supporting these communities’ techno-cultural knowledge stewardship, accessibility, and harm reduction models. The project will prototype and implement organizational tools collaboratively with these communities, sharing resources and knowledge within artistic, […]

Le numérique est désormais omniprésent dans nos activités quotidiennes. Nombreuses de nos actions sont numérisées, analysées et assistées par un ordinateur. Or, nous produisons de plus en plus de logiciels et les bugs (ou souvent les défauts de spécification) sont largement sous-estimés. La tendance en effet et à produire des mises à jour (parfois quotidiennes, souvent hebdomadaires) plutôt […]

This research project is mainly concerned with maximizing distributed multiteam performance in the context of “extreme” work conditions. These conditions are those in which the human workforce is faced with safety-critical decisions, work overload, stress, complex peer interactions, uncertainty, and the prospect of serious consequences for error or delay. Fulfillment of project’s objectives will be […]

QUBER, a financial wellness program addressing financial stress and promoting short-term saving habits. QUBER generates revenue by charging a per employee per month fee to employers/organizations. Organizations offer QUBER as a financial wellness benefit to their employees. With large growth expected in 2024 and beyond, our systems and team must scale to support the onboarding […]

In power systems, dynamic simulation studies are required to ensure safe and secure operation of electrical grid. In these studies, different devices, such as generators and transmission lines, are represented by a mathematical model with a number of predefined parameters. The accuracy of the simulation studies highly depend on the models used for different components. […]
