The Canadian Light Source produces a very bright light which can be used to study DNA, viruses, cells, proteins, and other small-scale structures. To generate this light, the CLS needs a beam of electrons which are generated by an electron gun. In 2018, this electron gun failed, and the facility was unable to function for […]

Le projet de maîtrise de la candidate a pour objectif de fournir les connaissances et balises nécessaires au développement d’un outil de suivi de la vache en période de transition. Cet outil abordable et efficace sera développé à partir de la composition en acides gras (AG) du lait. La période de transition étant reconnue comme […]

Manipulation and characterization of ultrafast optical signals are fundamental procedures for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, biology, quantum information science, spectroscopy, and atomic and molecular physics. In this context, the so-called theory of space-time duality offers a powerful framework for the development of important optical signal processing functionalities. One of its key elements […]

Dans ce projet, nous nous proposons de développer un modèle de simulation qui vise à analyser le flux des patients aux urgences, particulièrement le temps d’attente. Cet outil permettra aux responsables de la coordination du CHUM d’être proactifs dans la gestion des urgences. Il leur servira entre autres à comprendre le comportement du système, identifier […]

We are witnessing an explosion in the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms with significant impacts on the world’s economic and social activities. The backbone of a machine learning algorithm is a deep neural network which is composed of hundreds to thousands of neurons. To make the neural networks (NNs) functional, they need to be […]

Pavemetrics, chef de file dans les systèmes de vision numérique pour l’inspection des infrastructures routières, ferroviaires et aéroportuaires, a développé de nombreux capteurs couplés à un logiciel de traitement de données 3D afin de les offrir au monde entier. Parmi les clients de Pavemetrics, on retrouve principalement les intégrateurs de services, les firmes de génie […]

La quantité et la diversité des panneaux de signalisation routière sont en augmentation constante. Parmi les défis posés par cette situation, on retrouve celui de l’inspection. En effet, ces panneaux doivent conserver des propriétés physiques déterminées (comme une réflectivité minimale) afin de satisfaire aux exigences gouvernementales. L’inspection manuelle de chaque panneau étant fastidieuse, des systèmes […]

The goal in medicine is prolong life and prevent disease before it spreads and becomes irreversible. There must be a way to easily self-monitor or to allow medical professionals to continuously remotely monitor high risk patients. The main vital signs that ideally should be constantly evaluated are pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, oxygen saturation […]

The requirement for online communication continues to grow exponentially, primarily a result of the increased demand for information sharing bandwidth. This demand is driven by video-over-internet applications used for both entertainment, and conferencing (felt most recently in the need for remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic). Integrated optical components fabricated in silicon are receiving particular […]

Antibiotic therapy has been the primary approach for strep throat. Although various antibiotics, including penicillin, are effective, bacteriologic, and clinical treatment failures have been reported. Patients are more concerned about soothing the pain during the infection, and green/natural drug therapy with less or no adverse side effects are becoming popular. From preliminary studies and literature, […]

To date, there is a growing attention to the use of plant-food bioactives in disease prevention. Anthocyanin, a colorful plant pigment extracted from purple and blue color fruits and vegetables has been investigated broadly for its cancer preventive and immunity boosting properties. However, anthocyanin degrade during the conventional food processing conditions such as exposure to […]

The proposed research project focuses on developing a solution to penetrate the market with technological innovation. This would require research in marketing segments, understanding the TAM and SAM, and subsequently developing a strategy to quantify the targets. In addition to that, the project also aims in enhancing the management skills of the intern and at […]
