Collaboration entre les équipes de recherche NeuroPoly et Empenn pour la modélisation de trajectoires neurodéveloppementales typiques via la création d’outils basés sur l’intelligence artificielle dédiée à l’imagerie par résonance magnétique

Le projet de stage chez Empenn a pour objectif de modéliser les conséquences des traumatismes crâniens chez les enfants en se basant sur des données d’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Ce stage sera mené par la stagiaire Andjela Dimitrijevic, se concentrant principalement sur l’acquisition de données liées au traumatisme crânien léger (TCC) chez les enfants, ainsi que sur la validation du modèle développé. L’accent sera mis sur la détection de trajectoires de développement cérébral atypique à la suite de ces traumatismes chez les enfants de 0 à 5 ans, en utilisant des techniques d’apprentissage profond pour cartographier une déviation par rapport au neurodéveloppement typique. Utilisant des données IRM longitudinales, l’objectif est de modéliser ces trajectoires cérébrales chez les jeunes enfants, en mettant l’accent sur la détection de changements régionaux. La méthodologie implique la création de courbes de croissance cérébrale et l’évaluation de données IRM post-TCC. Ces efforts de recherche renforceront les liens de collaboration internationale entre les équipes de recherche Empenn de l’Inria et NeuroPoly à Polytechnique Montréal.

Détection des Anomalies des Mesures Météorologiques par Apprentissage Automatique

Le but du projet proposé consiste à développer des méthodes de détection des anomalies des mesures de températures et de précipitations enregistrées de façon automatique par les réseaux des membres de Solutions Mesonet. Les méthodes de détection qui seront proposées seront basées sur l’apprentissage automatique et plus particulièrement sur des modèlesstatistique spatio-temporels. Ces modèles permettront notamment de regrouper les informations provenant de toutes les observations afin de détecter les données suspectes et de proposer des valeurs de remplacement dans le cas où les données suspectes sont aberrantes.

L’Architecture de la mémoire dans l’imaginaire stambouliote construitd’Orhan Pamuk

Ma recherche doctorale porte sur la représentation de la mémoire et de ses fragments au sein de l’espace urbain dans l’oeuvre romanesque et autobiographique de l’écrivain turc Orhan Pamuk, un des auteurs phares de la littérature mondiale contemporaine. La facture singulière de ses écrits repose sur le déploiement kaléidoscopique de la mémoire (individuelle, familiale, collective, culturelle), de l’histoire (islamique, ottomane, républicaine et turque) et de la tradition (entre autres littéraire). Ma contribution inédite et essentielle au champ des études culturelles et littéraires actuelles s’inscrit dans le sillage de nouvelles approches sur l’intermédialité et la mobilité. Il s’agit de repérer, dans un corpus (constitué des écrits pamukiens publiés depuis 1982) peu étudié par la critique, l’imaginaire mémoriel stambouliote dans une perspective interdisciplinaire originale en m’appuyant sur les théories anthropologiques de l’espace qui mettent l’accent sur la double interaction entre l’être et le lieu. La particularité de cette recherche provient aussi du fait que j’étudie les manuscrits dans leur langue d’origine et en traduction (anglaise et française). Ma réflexion, qui sera nourrie par une étude approfondie du corpus critique tant français et anglais que turc, créera ainsi des rapprochements encore inexplorés.

Towards Developing an Optimal Fluorescent Protein-Based Extracellular Glucose Biosensor

Optogenetics, or the process of controlling biological processes through light and specialized proteins, is a revolutionary technology that allows for remarkable scientific advancement. Metabolic processes in the brain, and the role of glucose, are under-studied, despite their connections to a wide range of debilitating diseases. Some fluorescent protein-based biosensors are available presently for optogenetic applications, but they are far from ideal. The goal of this project is to develop an optimal fluorescent protein-based biosensor that can be used to explore the role of glucose in brain metabolism. Developing an optimized glucose biosensor would allow for real-time manipulation of metabolic activity in the brain, with the end goal of learning more about the mechanisms underlying metabolism and the ways in which it is disrupted. This research would contribute to the foundation of knowledge of brain metabolism and, hopefully, lead to the development of therapeutic applications in the future.

Evaluating the Short-Term Implementation of CWELCC from an Equity Perspective

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) agreements are part of a recent policy by the Canadian government. The goals of CWELCC are to increase spending on and access to early childhood education and care (ECEC) across the country. Children from low-income families receive the most benefits from access to high quality ECEC, past experience has shown that these populations are often squeezed out of care when supply of licensed spaces is limited. This study explores how low-income families will be impacted by CWELLC brining an equity lens to the analysis of the short-term implementation of this policy.

Capturing patterns of cortical hierarchy and dual stream architecture based on precise 7T MRI

This project aims to explore the mysteries of the human brain’s microstructure and functions by using advanced imaging technology and computational models. The researchers will collaborate between different institutions, bringing together expertise in computational neuroscience and neuroimaging from McGill university with the renowned knowledge in cognitive and brain sciences at the Max Planck Institute. The project’s success will deepen our understanding of how the brain works, providing new insights into cognitive processes. This collaboration will not only benefit the participating institutions by expanding their research capabilities but will also contribute to the broader scientific community’s knowledge of the human brain. This knowledge has far-reaching implications for the field of neuroscience, as it can shed light on how neurological disorders, including those characterized by altered brain structure and function, manifest and progress.

Advancing the Cryptanalysis of the HPPK-THR Public Key Cryptosystem

The Homomorphic Polynomial Public Key over Two Hidden Rings (HPPK-THR) is a new method of encryption developed by Quantropi to secure communications against advances in quantum computing. While highly efficient and comparing excellently against rival encryption schemes HPPK-THR was only recently developed in 2022. It thus still needs thorough investigation to show its strong security claims are well-founded. Our project will pursue this investigation from the level of abstract mathematics down to concrete software code. We’ll begin with researching the latest results in cryptology, but with eyes to evolving and testing new attacks. We’ll document our findings and suggest means of improving beyond any such attacks. Such rigorous demonstrations and any improvements would greatly benefit Quantropi in distributing HPPK-THR, serving its mandate of developing cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions.

Advance directives at the end of life in people with cancer in palliative care

In Colombia, advance directives are a right regulated by the health system. However, little is known about the implementation of advance directives in clinical practice and from the perspective of cancer patients. This is why this study seeks to know the experiences with the implementation of advance directives in a group of cancer patients in palliative care. The results of this stud will contribute to improving the quality of care at the end of life in people with cancer.

Sustainability Analysis of an Urea-Bioethanol Production Plant using Renewable Resources

The global installed capacity of nitrogen-based fertilizers is about 190 million tons and is projected to grow by about 6 per cent by 2027. Approximately half of the world’s population relies on these fertilizers to produce food. At present, the production of urea relies on natural gas that corresponds to approximately 1-2% of the annual energy supply worldwide. It also results in considerable greenhouse gas emissions. As the cost of urea is heavily influenced by the price of natural gas, geopolitical events have a crucial bearing on the economic performance of urea production. The price of urea changed significantly in the past three years, reaching a maximum of 925 USD/MT in April 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Developing an alternate green process for urea and assessing their techno-economic and environmental feasibility is a challenge. The goal of this project is to create a conceptual design of a green urea plant that is integrated to a bioethanol biorefinery using renewable lignocellulosic biomass as the main feedstock and use the fermentation carbon dioxide as feedstock for urea production. This will lead to a sustainable system from an economic and environmental point of view.

Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel and other renewable transport fuels via a modified Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Technology: Phase 2

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a description increasingly used to refer to aviation turbine fuel (jet fuel) that is produced from renewable and sustainable resources. The use of SAF for commercial air transport holds the promise of reducing the fossil fuel footprint of this industry. However, in North America it is at present not legal to commercially operate an aircraft with 100% SAF. The purpose of this project is to produce fully formulated synthetic jet fuel in sufficient quantity for it to be submitted for qualification under ASTM D4054, which describes the standard practice for qualification and approval of new aviation turbine fuels and fuel additives. For this purpose, batches of kerosene must be produced and pre-qualified to the amount of 300 L (80 gal) that can be submitted for qualification under ASTM D4054 for tier 2 testing. Specifically, the fuel process must reflect the process description for which the fuel is qualified. Due to the importance of having 100% SAF qualified, this project leads investment in a demonstration scale facility. The conversion steps involved in the process include acid catalysis, metal catalysis, and bifunctional metal-and-acid catalysis. Separation will be by distillation. Pre-qualification analytical work will include all major jet fuel properties.
In addition, the project will evaluate the characteristics of other by-products particularly and synthetic renewable diesel and test the compliance with ASTM D975. This will contribute even more to the GHG emission reductions from transportation sector in relation to heavy duty vehicle emissions.
