Current and near-future D-Wave processors implement optimization using quantum effects on a fixed processor layout. This layout can be modeled as a graph with certain constraints, and the optimization is applied to a specific problem: fixed-topology Ising spin optimization. It is therefore important to study how best to use this hardware to solve combinatorial optimization […]

The main aim of this project is to utilize chitin and its derivatives to fabricate super-macroporous bioinks using our mist-based printhead technology. The proposed project fosters a circular economy by expanding the bioink and bioprinting market and contributing to sustainable economic growth, while simultaneously addressing environmental challenges associated with crustacean shell waste. Additionally, it opens […]

Canada’s international marine trade, accounting for 80% of its commerce with countries beyond North America, surged to an impressive $205 billion in 2015. In this dynamic industry, the maintenance and repair sector assume a pivotal role in managing the life cycle costs of marine vessels, with approximately 72% of the budget allocated to its operation. […]

In this research endeavor, our goal is to develop user-friendly software tailored for scientists and engineers specializing in the study of fluid dynamics, particularly within oceanic contexts. Imagine it as an adaptable and comprehensive toolkit designed to simplify their intricate experimental tasks. Initially, we will meticulously craft the software, prioritizing ease of use and efficiency. […]

Marine data is vital for protecting fisheries, understanding climate change’s impact, and supporting ocean industry. However, collecting data is costly, challenging, and time-consuming. Renewable energy powered unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a promising solution for marine data collection due to their maneuverability, sensor payload, and ease of use. Yet, uncertain environmental factors lead to intermittent […]

Our research initiative, titled “Tech-Law Synergy: A Roadmap for Blockchain Regulatory Compliance,” aims to bridge the gap between blockchain technology and Canadian and Ukrainian legal frameworks. Interns on this project will explore the most recent advancements in blockchain while scrutinizing existing laws that apply to this technology. Through interviews with industry professionals and hands-on workshops, […]

Les technologies liées aux systèmes d’aide aux prises des décisions dans des navires intelligents ont atteint un niveau de maturité élevé dans les dernières années. Pendant ce temps, les navires autonomes et sans pilote ont aussi été largement étudiés en parallèle aux véhicules autonomes, comme les chargeuses autonomes dans les mines. Bien que la technologie […]

Icebergs pose serious risks to subsea infrastructures operating in the Arctic and Atlantic regions. They can damage pipelines, cables, and foundations by scraping the seabed or directly colliding with offshore structures like floating systems and platforms. To prevent such impacts, icebergs are towed away from the facilities using specialized vessels and equipment. However, this process […]

En biologie, tout comme dans le monde des machines mécaniques, la fonction découle de la structure. Dans le domaine biologique, les “machines” sont constituées de protéines. En altérant leur structure, il est possible de leur conférer de nouvelles fonctionnalités. L’entreprise 9Bio combine une expertise de pointe en modélisation IA avec l’ingénierie structurelle biologique pour créer […]

My research project at ASIIA would focus more on the properties of the ISM for PSR J0621+1002. Scintillation is caused by inhomogeneity in the ISM, known as scattering screens. The main objective of the project is to map the scattering screen between us and the pulsar and how it changes over 8-10 years of observed […]

L’entreprise Nadeau Design a développé le SNAD, un véhicule urbain qui s’utilise avec des équipements sportifs actuels tel que la planche à roulettes ou le patin à roues alignées pour bénéficier d’une assistance motorisée électrique lors des déplacements. Comme plusieurs éléments du SNAD ont toujours des lacunes sur le plan de l’utilisabilité, ce qui compromet […]
