Mise en œuvre d’un jumeau numérique de la Place Ville Marie pour l’optimisation de l’exploitation et de la gestion immobilière – Phase de préparation et pilotage

Ce projet de recherche aura pour objectif d’optimiser l’exploitation et la maintenance de l’un des actifs d’Ivanhoé Cambridge, présent sur la Place Ville Marie.
Pour ce faire, ce projet étudiera la piste du jumeau numérique comme outil principal afin d’atteindre l’objectif fixé.
Un jumeau numérique est un modèle informatique de l’objet réel permettant de réaliser des simulations, modifications ou analyses sans avoir à modifier le modèle réel.
Dans le cas de la recherche, il sera utilisé afin d’optimiser la gestion et l’exploitation du bien immobilier choisi, en réalisant des simulations basées sur les données récoltés par différents capteurs au sein du bâtiment. Cela permettra à l’organisation partenaire de créer des espaces répondant parfaitement aux besoins de ses utilisateurs, tout en étant capable de voir en temps réel les données de différents capteurs (qualité de l’air, taux d’occupation, …), mais aussi de pouvoir intégrer les informations liées à la maintenance de l’immeuble directement dans le modèle virtuel, permettant ainsi une gestion plus efficace des données.

FITZBA SPRINT TO PRODUCT-MARKET FIT

We have recently launched an MVP (prototype) of fitzba.com: a two-sided marketplace whose mission is to support shopping local and to be the most convenient way to shop. The intended outcome of this project is to find “product-market fit”, a desired state whereby fitzba.com will have implemented a set of features which customers will value and pay for. This project requires four full-time software development interns who will work as the software team to design, code, test, and deploy multiple software versions as we add features and functionality to improve the platform and thus attract customers.

Gated Parametric Images using 82Rubidium Cardiac PET for More Accurate Measurements of Ejection Fraction

One crucial measure of heart function is how well it can pump blood from its ventricles, referred to as the ejection fraction (EF). One method of estimating the EF in Cardiac PET is to segment the myocardium of a ventricle on static gated images and compute the difference of the inner volume of the segmentation at end diastole and systole, relative to the volume at end diastole. However, because radiotracer signal in Cardiac PET is much higher in the myocardium of the left ventricle (LV) than the right ventricle (RV), current day imaging software typically only segments the LV and computes the LV ejection fraction (LVEF), thereby making RVEF estimates inaccessible. One method of improving LVEF and RVEF estimations is to acquire cardiac-gated dynamic images and perform kinetic modeling to yield parametric images of blood flow and blood volume of the LV and RV cavities. In this manner, LV and RV blood volumes can be directly estimated throughout the cardiac cycle and enable more accurate measures of both LV and RV EF….

Design and fabrication of hierarchical Pickering emulsions

The concept of hierarchy can be applied to a wide range of immaterial and material systems, including living organisms and artificial constructions, to enhance their performance through hierarchical materials design and synthesis. However, this approach is currently limited by the lack of strategies that provide hierarchical control of matter across all size regimes, from nano to macro scale. As a result, the structural complexity of materials that can be created is limited. Advanced methods are needed to design and fabricate hierarchical materials with multi-scale control over their structure and properties. By developing novel strategies for the synthesis of hierarchical materials, we can overcome the current limitations and create materials with superior performance and unique functionalities. Such materials have the potential to revolutionize material design and synthesis and open up new avenues for various applications, ranging from electronics to biomedical engineering. That is, this proposal aims to design and fabricate hierarchical Pickering emulsions by employing nanomaterial synthesis, and microfluidic three-dimensional droplet printing to have control in all size regimes from nano to macro and apply those materials for flexible electronics and electromagnetic (EM) shields…
