Ultra-low-power edge-AI circuits and systems for intelligent biomedical sensors

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the world. One person dies in Canada every five minutes from heart conditions, stroke, or vascular cognitive impairment. There have been 2.6 million CVD-related hospitalizations in Canada between 2007 and 2017. CVDs alone cost totaling $21.2 billion a year in direct (medical) and indirect (lost earnings) costs. Stroke costs the Canadian economy $3.6 billion a year in physician services, hospital costs, lost wages, and decreased productivity. This project aims to develop a single chip solution for wireless smart electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor that minimize the power consumption and reduce the size and cost of the flexible ECG sensor.

Design, synthesis and characterization of conjugated organic materials for printed electronics applications.

During this dual internship, I will be involved in the PIONEER project (PhotoactIve OrgaNic polymErs for watER treatment). It has been demonstrated that through light irradiation, BTI (benzothioxanthene imide) in water generates hydroxyl radicals (OH•), with their recombination product being hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide serves an antifouling function due to its compatibility with living organisms and its oxidizing effectiveness against certain pollutants present in water. The internship’s title is “Synthesis and Characterization of Conjugated Organic Molecules for Printed Electronics.” During my internship at Moltech Anjou, I will synthesize several molecules belonging to the BTI family, which will be functionalized with monomers to immobilize them via photopolymerization within a polymeric matrix. These molecules will be sent to the team led by Professor Welch in Calgary. Upon arrival, I will continue the project in Canada by characterizing these molecules using printing methods to fabricate functional coatings for bio related (anti microbian) applications and greenhouses (antifouling). During the internship in Calgary, I anticipate gaining insight into the operations of a university research laboratory within an Anglo-Saxon system. My objectives include refining my English proficiency, immersing myself in a different culture, and primarily enhancing my autonomy within an international research project, while gaining a deeper understanding of how such projects are structured and executed.

Proteomic Profile of Dental Pulp Cells in Contact with Chitosan-Calcium Scaffolds for Pulp-Dentin Regeneration

In cases of reversible inflammation due to dental caries, direct pulp-capping therapies are an attempt to keep the tooth vital. Cell-homing regenerative therapies have been investigated in order to develop new biomaterials for a more successful treatment. Our scaffolds based on chitosan and minerals shows good in vitro results in terms of regenerating mineralized tissues, such as dentin, as well as controlling the inflamation of pulp cells. However, the mechanisms of cellular activity need to be better understood, wich can be achieved through the investigation of the proteins involved in the process. So, the aim of our project is to formulate chitosan scaffolds with the minerals calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate and evaluate the mechanisms involved in controlling inflammation, odontogenic differentiation and mineralized matrix deposition in contact with a pool of dental pulp cells, through proteomic analysis at different time-points (0, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days). The benefits to the institutions consists in a collaboration that provides new information for other investigations in field, through a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in this process, and could result in the establishment of a new effective-low-cost therapy for advanced cases of dental caries, improving the Regenerative Dentistry.

Exploration et Cartographie Côtière Assistée par l’Intelligence Artificielle à l’Aide de Données Satellitaires dans le Littoral du Nunavik

La région du Nunavik, situé au nord du Québec, abrite écosystèmes côtiers d’une importance écologique et culturelle considérable, mais demeure largement non cartographiée. Le défi principal réside dans la complexité et les coûts élevés associés à la cartographie précises de ces régions isolées et difficile d’accès. Néanmoins, les progrès réalisés dans l’observation de la Terre par satellite (OT), couplés à l’intelligence artificielle (IA), offrent une opportunité de combler cette lacune. Notre recherche vise à développer une méthode basée sur l’IA pour la classification précises des images satellitaires afin d’identifier les écosystèmes côtiers du Nunavik. Cette méthodologie intègre l’utilisation d’images multispectrales du satellite Sentinel-2 et des données à très haute résolution spatiale (THRS), la correction des images, l’apport des connaissances locales autochtones, et l’application de modèles d’IA pour la classification. En outre, la surveillance régulière permettra de suivre les éventuels changements écosystémiques. Cette approche non seulement promet une cartographie précise et continue, mais également valorise l’expertise des communautés autochtones. En cas de succès, cette recherche pourrait révolutionner notre approche de l’étude et de la préservation des écosystèmes côtiers dans des régions éloignées

Development of a Fuel Cell Test Protocol for faulty GDL material with varying GDL/MPL defects

This project aims to develop a standard that relates the loss of functionality in the porous transport layers (PTL) due to the presence of defects to the performance of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell. This work attempts to screen defects in the PTL using previously developed testing protocols. Currently there are no existing protocols that specify when to reject defected PTL material from external suppliers. These results will help to avoid falsely rejecting material by developing such guidelines for a failure screening method based on experimental data. This will aid to reduce cost and time of the production process.

Artificial Intelligence and Cinematographic Collaboration

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has permeated various sectors, including the creative industry, moving traditional workflows, offering economic potentials, and introducing novel social problems (or upscaling previous ones). In the film industry, AI technologies are increasingly employed for tasks ranging from screenwriting to VFX, in situations ranging from the management of major investments in film production for blockbuster movies to experimental filmmaking.
Most of what is said and written about AI and society, especially in the film industry, is speculative. There are few studies based on actual descriptions of the uses of AI applications. Those would give a better understanding of the current state of AI technologies, how they are integrated into creative workflows, and how they affect the production and distribution of films. For my Globalink Research project, I am going to work in a group that is providing such studies: the “AI and Cultural Production” research group at the University of Amsterdam. By learning from their critical approach to studying AI in European filmmaking practices, and mixing it with my previous work in a film cooperative, I will propose a theoretical framework based on the possibility of a Cooperative AI.

Optimization of the Design of Coke Drum Support Structure

Delayed coking is an integral process in upgrading heavy, unusable crude oil to lighter, usable products such as gasoline. Coke drums are insulated, vertically oriented cylindrical pressure vessels that facilitate such a process. Due to the process of delayed coking, these drums are subjected to cyclic thermal-mechanical loading and episodes of thermal shock. One of the potential areas of failure is the shell-to-skirt junction. A skirt assembly is used to support the vessel while allowing for the drum to transition from cylindrical to conical in geometry at the bottom of the coke drum. It also allows the drum to be supported on a raised platform in order to easily remove the petroleum coke. Recently, several designs have been drafted in an effort to mitigate failures at the shell-to-skit junction. The objective of the research project will be to evaluate these designs for their reliability and then to optimize the most effective skirt assembly design. The partner organizations will then be able to implement the results of this project into their new skirt designs and maintenance of existing skirt structures in order to make them more reliable in the future.
