Agri-Food Process Improvement

The Agri-Food Process Improvement internship was developed to provide a holistic view into the aspects of food processing and manufacturing for undergraduate students in science based fields directly related to, or adjacent to, agricultural and food sciences (e.g., physical sciences, engineering). We believe that by increasing exposure into the possibilities of a career that has a foundation in feeding a growing population, more young professionals will understand both the value and the potential of a career in the food industry. The interns will be working through a series of modules and/or units that will first establish a knowledge base in the science of food and food processing/manufacturing (and related professions such as food safety and quality), and then will move onto supervised project work. Each intern will have the individual opportunity to conduct at least two projects that will consist of [1] a literature review on a specialized topic (e.g., low carbohydrate direct expanded snacks, novel protein extrudates, industry knowledge gaps in training and certification programs, best sustainable practices, automation and smart technologies), [2] developing a detailed data collection and/or trial plan, and then [3] summarizing and presenting their findings. The overarching goal of this program

Education Assistant at Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is an organisation that is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of Canada’s wilderness. Through their advocacy they aspire to protect 50% or more of Canada’s wilderness for future generations. Sharing knowledge about the importance of Canada’s wilderness and the challenges that conservation efforts are facing is one of the most important aspects of their work. Through the outdoor learning program, the organisation will teach children and youth about the importance of Canadian Wilderness. As an intern with CPAWS, I will be creating and delivering programming to children and youth in outdoor settings in order to foster life-long appreciation for nature and science. CPAWS is piloting their after school outdoor learning program to increase accessibility and broaden the scope of their unique and inspiring program. This will bring instructors and programming directly to students in their learning environment in order to achieve this goal.

Obesity and Macrovascular Complications of the Heart and Kidneys: the Emerging Role of Genetics to Predict Risk and Treatment Outcomes

Globally, obesity continues to be a growing public health challenge and has been associated with cardiometabolic diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Current strategies aimed at reducing these cardiometabolic diseases include treatments aimed at controlling hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. In more severe cases, bariatric surgery is used to decrease obesity in order to decrease these macrovascular complications. Mendelian Randomization (MR) can assess the genetic association between a trait and a downstream outcome. Using two-sample MR, we hope to analyze how genetic traits for obesity are causally linked with cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases and if these genetic links can inform more effective, personalized treatments.

Decoding geometrical structures from neural population recordings using Machine Learning and Deep Learning

Neurons situated in a brain region called the hippocampus have been discovered to represent information related to numerous aspects of space and navigation. The activity of these neurons is referred to as the cognitive map, a complex brain representation of space, navigation and other associated physical clues. The aim of this project is to design, develop, implement and test artificial intelligence algorithms to decode neural data recorded from the hippocampal formation. The neural data considered is, among others, recorded from rodents freely moving and navigating in a complex environment. The developed algorithms will aim to analyse and better understand how space is
represented in rodents’ and humans’ brains and how the cognitive space representation reacts and adapts to different topologies and different external stimuli. Finally, understanding how cognitive maps dynamics change and, in particular, how spatial memory is negatively affected by time and external stimuli shall lead to a better understanding of neurological dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Numerical simulation for hydrate management in offshore pipelines

One of the major problems listed by many energy companies is flow assurance which involves significant efforts and costs to prevent hydrate blockages in the oil and gas facilities. Gas hydrate forms so rapidly and without warning in the offshore pipelines relative to waxes, scales, or asphaltenes. Although the hydrate plug formation rate is fast, remediation may take days or months. This research may help to understand further the hydrate formation behavior in the pipes. Conducting tests on the experimental setup is the best way to see hydrate significantly where and when it will be formed. Numerical simulations of the fabricated flow loop are one of this research’s objectives. However, the results of the model will be validated and compared with experimental data in different conditions. The MITACS support will be used to hire a Postdoctoral fellow (PDF) to support the activities in this project. The PDF will support computational modelling and operations of tests systems at C-CORE.

Development of anti-fog and anti-icing coating by plasma on PET films for helmet visor applications

Fogging and icing of surfaces is an issue that abords applications as diverse as the medical, the automotive, or the photovoltaic field. Even, it can represent a risk when present lenses and windshields, it dangerously reduces the field of view for the user. To address this problem, surface treatments based on coatings and chemical modifications of the surface have been developed. However, they present some drawbacks including the use of hazardous reagents, production of harmful residual products, and lose of properties. This project intends to employ atmospheric pressure plasma treatments for the synthesis of transparent anti-fog/ice coating on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for helmet visor applications for the Canadian company KIMPEX Canada Inc.. Plasma approach reduces the use of chemical products while PET with anti-fog/ice properties can be easily sticked over lenses and windshields avoiding the treatment of the material of interest, then reducing the cost of treatment, making it removable and remaining transparent.
