Efficient Distributed Learning for Autonomous Multi-Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Operation

The sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks promise transformative advancements in various sectors by enhancing speed, reliability, and connectivity to support applications like autonomous vehicles, smart healthcare, immersive augmented reality (AR), and the Internet of Everything (IoE). Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technologies are pivotal in 6G, enabling advanced applications through intelligent metasurfaces. The deployment of AI and machine learning (ML) within 6G networks is essential for managing complex network tasks, enhancing security, and optimizing performance. These technological advancements collectively contribute to the realization of intelligent, context-aware, and user-centric applications across various domains, heralding a new era of connectivity and smart services.
Integrating and operating passive RIS into 6G communication networks presents several challenges, particularly in the search space for optimizing RIS-aided communication networks. We therefore seek to design an efficient distributed learning approach over a novel hybrid RIS architecture with energy-efficient sensing capabilities. This work builds upon the previous MITACS Accelerate project # IT29537 where a passive RIS prototype operating at 3.75GHz (n77 and n78 TDD 5G frequency band) has been developed and integrated to the 5G Open radio access network.

Enhancing User Interaction in VR Striking Sport Games through Haptic Feedback and Visual Immersion

Our project addresses challenges in VR striking sports games, where the lack of accurate physical feedback limits VR’s ability to promote physical activity. Building on an existing NAIST project, we propose to enhance their haptic device into a sport-universal tool that improves realism and immersion by replicating real-world sports interactions (e.g., striking a ball) across various VR striking sports games. We will refine the device, develop software for user experiments, and employ iterative design processes to optimize performance. By the end, we plan to have a fully developed haptic device and user study. This study will determine the best approach to enhance realism and immersion in VR striking sports games and evaluate our device’s potential as a universal tool for multiple sports. The student will work at NAIST CARE Lab under Prof. Kiyokawa’s supervision, gaining access to cutting-edge equipment and mentorship from leading haptic experts. This opportunity will deepen their knowledge of haptics, foster international collaborations, provide professional growth, and prepare them for pursuing a PhD in haptics. This experience also benefits both institutions. The partnership strengthens research ties, encouraging the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and resources. It also drives joint innovations, establishing their reputations and contributions in research communities.

Developing ROV-based Workflows for Coastal Monitoring in a Changing Climate

In many parts of the Great Lakes, including southeastern Lake Huron, coastal bluffs are eroding. This poses a significant threat to homes, infrastructure, and the region’s tourism industry. To reduce damage to infrastructure, local conservation authorities create development setbacks to try to prevent new structures from being built in harms way. However, these setbacks are based on historical patterns of bluff retreat, which may not persist in our changing climate due to lower lake ice cover, more frequent storms, and changing water level cycles in the Great Lakes. This project aims to develop a “toolkit” within ArcGIS Pro to assist coastal managers in collecting, analyzing, and doing modelling with coastal data. This will allow coastal researchers to generate process-based predictions of how quickly the bluffs may retreat in the future under a variety of climate change scenarios.

Facilitating Institutional Investment in Emerging Markets Infrastructure Projects

Well-functioning infrastructure, broadly defined as the basic physical structures and facilities needed for a society to function efficiently (like roads, bridges, and power plants), is integral to the economic and social wellbeing of a nation and its citizens. Unfortunately, in the post-2008 world of austerity and increased global banking regulation, governments and banks have been unable to provide the necessary capital to keep up with the world’s infrastructure investment needs. However, in recent years there has been a strong push for institutional investors (like pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies) to help fill this investment gap. As the rationale goes, the long term stable cash flows offered by infrastructure projects are highly compatible with the long term liabilities of institutional investors. Though this trend has been picking up speed, the vast majority of institutional investment in infrastructure is flowing to developed countries, and not where it is needed most, emerging markets.

Advancing Sustainability: Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Development for Delta M’s Recyclable Air Filters

This project focuses on advancing sustainability in the HVAC industry by completing an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Delta M’s innovative recyclable air filters. These filters are designed to reduce waste, enhance energy efficiency, and lower operational and health-related costs compared to traditional cardboard filters. By conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and aligning with international standards, the project will enable Delta M’s filters to be listed on the UL SPOT database, increasing their visibility and marketability. Ultimately, this work supports the broader goal of promoting sustainable products and reducing environmental impacts in air filtration systems.

Découvrir l’ADN du CEP de l’Estrie : Comment les adultes apprennent autrement ?

Dans le cadre de ce projet de recherche, un ou plusieurs stagiaires examineront comment le modèle de formation du Centre d’Éducation Populaire (CEP) de l’Estrie aide les adultes à améliorer ou maintenir leurs compétences en lecture, écriture et calcul. Actif à Sherbrooke depuis plus de 40 ans, le CEP offre divers ateliers, notamment en alphabétisation, francisation et informatique, ainsi que des activités sociales et culturelles. Cette recherche permettra de mieux comprendre l’impact de ces services sur les participants et d’aider le CEP à se faire connaître, ce qui pourrait attirer plus de participants et de partenaires financiers. À terme, le CEP espère que cette visibilité accrue favorisera l’insertion sociale et professionnelle des adultes dans la région.

The Effect of Group Singing on Pain in Persons Living Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a challenge for many as the world’s population ages. Pain is a common problem for
people with PD, and usual pain treatments often have side effects. Some PD patients find relief in singing, which
also helps with voice difficulties related to PD. There’s evidence suggesting that group singing might even reduce
pain for people with PD. To understand how singing helps with pain, a study will look at how hormones like
oxytocin and the nervous system affect pain. Both PD patients and healthy individuals will sing in group sessions,
and their saliva will be tested for oxytocin, cortisol, and other markers. It’s expected that both groups will
experience pain relief from singing due to increased oxytocin levels, but for PD patients, it may also involve a
decrease in certain stress hormones, indicating a shift in their nervous system activity.

Bonnes pratiques pour favoriser une participation accrue aux activités sociales et de loisirs : vers une vie communautaire plus connectée, interactive et accessible

modes de régulation (ex. coconstruction d’un plan d’action avec la participation des personnes aînées
ou en situation de handicap), ainsi que les indicateurs de leur mise en oeuvre et de leurs effets. De
plus, un plan d’action en vue de potentielles menaces et urgences sanitaires sera créé. Enfin, des
suggestions de balises pour signaler comme une signalisation sonore, de fiches synthèses pour un
cadre de référence en accessibilité universelle sera élaboré. En outillant la Ville sur les meilleures
pratiques en accessibilité universelle, le présent projet permettra d’augmenter l’accessibilité aux
infrastructures et aux activités sociales et de loisirs, et aussi de favoriser une participation accrue des
Sherbrookois.
