Création de bases de données et de réseaux de neurones convolutifs pour l’analyse granulométrique par photographies

Au cours de la dernière décennie, les réseaux de neurones convolutifs (CNN) ont révolutionné l’analyse d’images dans plusieurs domaines du génie. Toutefois, on retrouve encore peu d’utilisation de CNN en géotechnique. Une des applications les plus évidentes pour les CNN dans ce domaine est la classification des sols et la réalisation d’analyses granulométriques à partir de photographies. Deux verrous technologiques principaux empêchent le développement de CNN pour ces applications. Premièrement, l’entrainement des CNN nécessite d’imposantes bases de données qui comportent des dizaines de milliers de photographies de sols et de matériaux granulaires et les analyses granulométriques correspondantes. Ces bases de données n’existent pas en géotechnique. Deuxièmement, la structure des CNN doit être optimisée pour la réalisation d’analyses granulométriques. Le projet de recherche s’attaque à ces deux problèmes. Les échantillons reçus dans les laboratoires du partenaire seront utilisés pour construire des bases de données. Les réseaux de neurones multiéchelle développés à l’ÉTS seront ensuite entrainés avec ces bases de données pour prédire la granulométrie et faire la classification des sols et des matériaux granulaires.

Using Remote Sensing and GIS to Better Understand a Copper Porphyry Prospect (Peru)

Elida is a newly discovered copper porphyry prospect located in Central Peru. The overall copper reserves are unknown and cannot be estimated from field inspection alone. The proposed research by the intern is aimed at helping to solve this ‘puzzle’ by using and developing remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques for this problem. RS and GIS will be used by the intern to map and interpret lithological, mineral units and structural features that aid in understanding the movement of copper in this deposit. The partner organization is an exploration and mining company. For economic reasons, it is critically important for the company to know how much copper is emplaced within the system versus displaced. The main benefit to the partner is that the intern study project will help understand the copper retention in the system story.

Computing the flow of suspensions of red blood cells in complex networks of capillaries

We develop a numerical model of blood flow in the microvasculature of the human body as a building block to later simulate targeted drug delivery. The model requires (i) to implement a Front Tacking/Immersed Boundary method to coupled the solution of the fluid flows to the deformation of the red blood cells (RBCs) and (ii) to consider the complex meshed geometry of the network of capillaries described on the fluid grid. The model is implemented in a computing platform that runs in parallel on large supercomputers to later enable massively parallel computing. We validate our implementation against existing data available in the literature on simple flow configurations such as as a single RBC in a simple shear flow. As a proof of concept, we ultimately compute a suspension of RBCs flowing through a Y junction. The numerical model can also be used to optimize the design of microfluidic devices that perform tasks such as high-throughput cell sorting and of processes that produce bio-compatible artificial materials through 3D printing.

Vancity Community Foundation

The Vancity Community Foundation, through its Living Wage for Families BC initiative, addresses the pressing issue of working poverty in British Columbia. Despite economic growth, many workers struggle to meet basic living costs due to the rapidly rising expenses of essentials like food and housing. Living Wage BC strives to bridge the gap between merely surviving and truly thriving by advocating for fair wages that allow workers to live without financial stress, participate fully in society, and enjoy economic security. However, as the costs of living surge, the organization faces a complex challenge: how to expand its influence to address the broader conditions affecting workers’ ability to earn a living wage. The innovation challenge for Living Wage BC is to enhance public awareness and engagement around the importance of a living wage, while strengthening partnerships with businesses, unions, and governments to create lasting impact across communities. This project aims to support Living Wage BC in advancing its mission beyond its current operations by amplifying its voice through impactful storytelling and digital content creation. By recording and publishing stories of low-wage workers and living wage employers, the Living Wage Intern will deepen public understanding of the real-world impact of fair wages, thus encouraging wider adoption and advocacy for the Living Wage initiative. This project requires expertise in multimedia content creation, project management, strategic communication, and social policy awareness to effectively communicate the complexities of working poverty and drive meaningful change in the policy landscape.
