May 2, 2019 Well done Parisa! We thank you for the great work over the years, and wish you good luck in your future endeavours!

April 18, 2019 We would like to congratulate Alberto Prud’homme and Amit Gour who received best poster awards at the LACIME Annual Congress among 35 participants.    Alberto achieved 1sr place for the master’s students competition, while Amit Gour received the 3rd place for the PhD students competition. The work on MEMS resonator by Alberto

March 19, 2019 In recent years, there has been a growing interest in piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) as an alternative to conventional transducers for ultrasound imaging. These transducers offer many advantages in terms of cost, size, and efficiency. This is a summary of two recent publications in the field. Read More

November 29, 2018 Interview with Frédéric Nabki, professor at ETS in Electrical Engineering and founder of SPARK Microsystems. Through our interview, we will focus on a study launched by Propulsion Québec, on the development of the lithium-ion battery industry in Quebec. Our guest will talk to us about the efficiency of these batteries. We will

June 26, 2018 Prof. Michaël Ménard and Reflex Photonics are proud to announce that they will collaborate to build on the technological advantages of silicon photonics (SiP) for optical transceivers. Reflex Photonics and UQAM have signed a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Engage research agreement to explore the use of SiP in their next

Octobre 6, 2017 Aeponyx owes its stroke of genius to two UQAM researchers, Michaël Ménard and Frédéric Nabki, who have combined silicon photonics with electromechanical microsystems (MEMS). “We find these MEMS everywhere. These are tiny mechanical devices that form the gyroscopes, accelerometers or camera sensors of cell phones, for example, “explains François Ménard. The researchers have

June 8, 2017 Frederic Nabki, professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), and member of the Communications and Microelectronics Integration Laboratory (LACIME) and the Microtechnology and Microsystems Laboratory, combines two specialties: analog,  mixed and radiofrequency integrated circuits, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). These two key areas also open the way

October 2, 2016 EIGHT QUESTIONS ABOUT CHARGERS They have become essential in our digital lives and yet we know very little about how they work. Isador Buchmann, president and founder of Cadex Electronics, Kamal Al-Haddad, professor in the electrical engineering department of the École de technologie supérieure, and Frédéric Nabki, professor in the computer science department
