Projet supervisé – Élaboration d’un référentiel de compétences pour les activités clés de démarrage d’une entreprise technologique

Les entreprises en démarrage au Centech sont formées d’équipes multidisciplinaires dont les membres fondateurs possèdent des formations de premier et second cycle en ingénierie et en administration. Ces individus qui passent du statut d’étudiant à celui d’entrepreneur ont besoin d’acquérir rapidement des connaissances et une expertise solide, afin de faire croître rapidement leur entreprise à travers les trois phases du cycle d’incubation : l’émergence, le prototypage et la commercialisation. Pour évoluer rapidement et efficacement à travers ces trois phases, les entrepreneurs doivent développer des compétences dans quatre domaines clés :
Commercialisation
? Financement
? Prototypage
Gestion des ressources humaines
Objectifs du projet de recherche : Dans cette optique, le mandat consiste à accompagner le Centech et ses entrepreneurs à développer un modèle de compétences pour chacun des quatre domaines clés du modèle « Growth Wheel » utilisé au Centech. Pour chaque domaine de compétence, trois niveaux d’expertise associés seront élaborés. En fonction du diagnostic qui sera posé sur le niveau d’expertise que possède chaque entrepreneur, il sera possible de formuler des recommandations concernant les compétences analysées.

Optimizing Optical Coherence Tomography Scanning Efficiency with Low-Rate Acquisition and AI-Based Image Synthesis

Perimeter Medical has been developing a novel optical coherent tomography (OCT) technique combined with AI to analyze tissue edges quickly. This project aims to make the method faster by acquiring images more efficiently. This will help surgeons assess tissues quicker and shorten surgery times, which in turn will lead to less time for patients to remain under sedation. Using an AI synthesis approach, we strive to speed up the OCT scanning process. The proposed strategy is to test this approach using some existing OCT images to teach an AI algorithm how to generate the missing ones. We will compare the predicted OCT image results to the originals using image quality metrics to ensure the generated images are accurate. This project will be the first step in evaluating the feasibility of a faster OCT imaging in helping surgeons and patients alike.

Living Archives, Histories and Futures of Alternative Book Publishing (part of Archives / Counter-Archives)

PUBLIC was founded in 1988 by Public Access Collective, a Canadian charitable nonprofit organization committed to curating and producing innovative artistic research-creation projects and public interventions. Living Archives, Histories and Futures of Alternative Book Publishing is a research-creation project focused on developing PUBLIC Books and PUBLIC Online, including the further development of a more hybridized and integrative platform for PUBLIC Access’s publications and projects. This research-creation project will draw upon PUBLIC’s archives, engage new works emerging from the vast Archives/Counter-Archives network of artists, curators, educators, scholars, librarians, archivists, etc., and investigate connections between these resources. These original works will take form as publications, interviews, reviews, criticism, podcasts and podcast series, exhibitions, curatorial engagements, public interventions, setting new experimental forms of writing and publicity alongside canonical readings in art theory, exploring the interactive possibilities of contemporary art works within the public domain as well as open source sites and support for PUBLIC Online, a hybrid research-creation (intellectual and creative forum) that investigates critical interactions and intersections with art and public culture.

Narrations augmentées en littérature jeunesse : processus créatifs multimodaux et mécaniques collaboratives

Ce projet vise à documenter et analyser les processus de création et mécaniques collaboratives impliqués par la mise en place de livres augmentés jeunesse, et ce à travers le développement d’une séries d’oeuvres associant animation, texte, musique, et fonctionnalités interactives. Effectué avec le partenaire Les Éditions André Fontaine, en particulier dans le cadre de sa collection jeunesse Fonfon, il s’attèlera à analyser et compiler des données précises permettant, à terme, de dégager d’éventuelles perspectives d’adaptation dans des contextes d’apprentrissage, notamment en ce qui concerne les propres activités de création des jeunes. Dans une dimension plus technique, il visera à développer un nou

Development of lead-free journal bearings

To operate, the surfaces inside an aircraft engine must withstand several conditions, such as temperature and pressure, which will cause the components to wear over time. To prevent wear and reduce maintenance costs, the manufacturer of such engines usually uses several different techniques to enhance the surface’s resistance. However, some of these techniques, such as lead-based surfaces, may not be environmentally friendly. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to understand how wear is caused in journal bearings, a major component inside aircraft engines, and so propose strategies to develop environmentally friendly surfaces. The project will use as basis actual parts from these engines provided by the partner organization and characterize them by how the wear occurs in these components. Understanding how these components wear, materials will be proposed based on the literature and interfaces tested.

La requalification des églises en projets collectifs au Québec

L’étude empirique porte sur le processus de transformation des églises en projets collectifs par les citoyens au Québec. L’enjeu de l’étude est social car il s’agit d’une réflexion sur le présent et l’avenir de l’héritage bâti religieux au Québec, en contribuant à la compréhension de sa sacralité et de sa redéfinition dans la société québécoise contemporaine laïque.
Dans la diversité des manières nouvelles d’investir l’église collectivement et autrement que par les activités de culte, on s’intéresse aux expériences multiples de cette transformation du bâti religieux à l’échelle de la province, pour étudier au prisme du vécu de ses acteurs citoyens, les modalités et les mécanismes concrets dans l’appropriation de son espace. Un dispositif d’enquête multisites permettra l’observation des lieux et des usages multiples, ainsi que la rencontre des acteurs des transformations plurielles de l’espace religieux. La réflexion anthropologique portera sur la reconfiguration des rapports à l’espace de l’église dans le contexte spécifique du Québec.
