The design of next-generation cleaner and quieter aircraft will rely on accurate simulations of turbulent flows. These simulations, referred to as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), are critical in the design of both the external shape of an aircraft, as well as other components such as jet engines and propellers. The industry partner, ANSYS, develops one […]

Le projet de recherche ci-présent traite de la compromission des identités des clients et des employés au sein du secteur financier et se focalise plus spécifiquement sur trois moyens qui s’y rapportent : l’hameçonnage, le « credential stuffing » et le « password guessing ». Le projet a comme objectif de prévenir ces cyberattaques par […]

Transportation systems are evolving towards intelligent transportation systems and ISR Transit is a leading provider of these systems providing solutions in fleet management. In these systems, one of the enabling technologies is wireless sensor networks in which sensors are used to obtain information about the fleets. For example, sensors are deployed on motor, brake modules, […]

Dans un contexte de manque de main d’œuvre pour répondre à la demande croissante des personnes en perte d’autonomie à domicile ou dans les CHSLD, nous prenons les devants et élaborons un produits qui saura augmenter la sécurité et le confort de cette clientèle. Notre projet est de concevoir le cerveau de ce robot aidant […]

La prédiction est un domaine récent qui connaît de grandes avancées grâce à la démocratisation des connaissances via le web et l’augmentation de la puissance de calcul des ordinateurs modernes. Dans le cadre de ce projet effectué au Mouvement des Caisses Desjardins, ces techniques seront évaluées, documentées et testées vis-à-vis différents cas d’utilisation financiers (gestion […]

Proteins are molecular machines that function inside cells to regulate processes such as cell growth, division and death. Protein function is modified by the attachment of regulatory proteins such as ubiquitin. Ubiquitin modification is important in targeting proteins for destruction in the cell during cell division. Dysregulation of protein destruction can lead to inappropriate cell […]

he on-demand economy now has an expanding global presence, with the growing and widespread use of ridesharing platforms such as Uber and Ola, food-delivery platforms such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Zomato and home-task platforms such as TaskRabbit and Housekeep. On-demand work has proliferated largely in urban spaces across the globe, with the growing recognition […]

Competitive team-based digital games like League of Legends, Overwatch and Dota 2 are increasingly popular. These games require intense teamwork but achieving good teamwork is challenging because teams typically comprise of strangers who need to learn to work together in an extremely short amount of time. The match outcome depends on how quickly teams develop […]

Over 200,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed in Canada each year. With imaging using an appropriate modality, many types of cancer that manifest as solid tumors can be detected, treated or managed effectively. Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) is the primary imaging modality in a range of cancer types. Scientific studies […]

Additive manufacturing (AM), 3D printing, offers flexibility in manufacturing and can process a wide range of materials. In this project, polymers and composites are investigated to increase mechanical performance, and to reduce weight, cost, and lead time of candidate parts. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) can greatly benefit from AM processes in aircraft engine components. […]

The goal of this research is to investigate and build a recommendation system that suggests charities to users based on their previous donations. One of the first successful recommendation systems was Amazon’s “Customers who bought this, also bought…”. This recommendation system focuses mainly on making it easier for users to find relevant information and increasing […]

Cyber insurance is a relatively new and growing insurance product that provides companies with compensation following cybersecurity incidents involving data breaches, business interruption, digital asset loss and/or cyber extortion. The ever-changing nature of cyber technology combined with the lack of a large history of cyber insurance claims makes it challenging for insurance companies to rapidly […]
