FFUN Group Human Resources Internship

In these times with reduced staff count, FFUN Group needs “A Players.” They cannot continue to hire people to fill a hole, we need to be sure they have the right skill set and the right values for the company. I am going to re-evaluate and change how FFUN Group recruits and fills vacancies in order be successful in these new times. This process requires research into best practices and development/rolling out tools, and processes. Provide direction and a clear process to follow, and training for new and existing managers. I will help source high quality applicants that will help make the company as great as it can be, and avoid hiring those that are not a fit.

Simple proxies for risk analysis and natural hazard estimation

This research is aimed at better characterizing the exposure associated with three particular natural hazards – earthquake, flood and wind. The work represents an unprecedented collaboration between three leaders in the field of natural hazards at Western University and the insurance industry through the efforts of individual interns and the associated projects aimed at evaluating risk and the resulting exposure from a practical and relatively simplified perspective. The Property and Casualty Insurance Compensation Corporation (ICLR), in cooperation with member insurers, will provide industrial support and training to three interns in the applied field of insurance risk assessment. The goal of the associated research program is to develop simple proxies for exposure based upon the most important factors associated with each hazard – earthquake, flood and wind. These proxies will be evaluated for various population densities, infrastructure properties and governmental policies.

Development of an integrated foundation for precision medicine for the Atlantic Region with a focus on Colorectal Cancer and Lung cancer

Atlantic Canada has the highest rate of CRC in Canada and NL has the highest incidence of familial CRC worldwide. This study is being undertaken primarily to reveal the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with the high rate of CRC in Atlantic Canada, particularly the well-documented familial CRC in NL. We expect to define novel genetic and epigenetic lesions in tumors that may help inform treatment for patients in the Atlantic region and elsewhere. Additionally, Atlantic Canada already has an established system of lung cancer molecular profiling but, the conventional approaches fail to capture additional molecular lesions that are emerging as having clinical implications, including global assessment of tumor mutation burden (TMB). We aim to achieve adequate tissue sampling for diagnosis and molecular profiling and implement advancements through specialized tools.

Analysis of the potential application of the shortwave infrared and near-infrared cameras to the weld temperature measurements

Temperature is a critical parameter in welding and related processes such as metal additive manufacturing. The real-time temperature measurement systems based on infrared thermal cameras have a potential to significantly improve the existing process control systems and, consequently, the quality of the welds and additive manufactured products. Conventional thermal cameras work in midwave (MWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) part of the infrared spectrum. They require sophisticated sensor systems and special optics. Cameras that work in the part of the infrared spectrum which is closer to visible light (shortwave infrared SWIR and near-infrared NIR) are less sensitive at lower temperatures, but potentially may be used for temperature measurements at temperatures typical in welding. They can use regular glass optics and their sensors do not require cooling to low temperatures and are made of less sophisticated materials which makes them significantly cheaper and easier to use. These features of the SWIR and NIR camera systems indicate their potential for the real-time welding and metal additive manufacturing temperature measurement systems. The objective of the project is to study the ability of the camera systems working in the SWIR and NIR spectrum ranges to capture the thermal emission during welding and provide temperature measurement.

Développement d’un algorithme d’apprentissage profond pour la modélisation 3D des bâtiments à partir de photographies aériennes et de données lidar

Le projet proposé vise à développer un système automatisé de modélisation 3D des bâtiments par intelligence artificielle, et plus particulièrement par l’utilisation des réseaux de neurones convolutifs. Ces derniers sont reconnus pour leur performance en vision par ordinateur, notamment dans la segmentation d’objets fournis à travers des exemples d’entrainement. Le système de modélisation 3D utilisera la combinaison de photographies aériennes et de données lidar afin d’améliorer la segmentation des bâtiments. Les algorithmes développés seront intégrés dans un système opérationnel qui permettra d’automatiser la reconstruction 3D des bâtiments, et ainsi de réduire le temps et les coûts de cette opération pour la compagnie.

Lithium titanate nanocomposites for hybrid supercapacitors

Rapidly diversifying technologies are driving demand for power supplies that can meet a wider range of and more intermittent power needs. Main drivers include transportation, renewable energy grid connections, energy storage, and consumer electronics. Tesla has recently purchased a top supercapacitor company, Maxwell Technologies, to streamline these advancements to product integration. Supercapacitors are an important technology used in the power supply industry, supplementing conventional batteries by offering higher power and longer lifetime. Hybrid supercapacitors are undergoing accelerated development and expected to surpass current market options due to their promise of high energy and power density, and long cycle life. In this project we investigate fabrication process variations to improve their performance. Our industry partner intends to scale up the processes to establish Canadian supercapacitor R&D and manufacturing that will position us as a global competitor in this expanding high tech market.

Ownership of Content in an Overlay Platform

The notion of ownership is fundamental and essential in a number of settings, including the setting that is the focus of this proposal: information over the Internet. Ownership of some content, in turn, endows the owner with certain rights over the content. The intent of this proposed research project is to (a) precisely enunciate what properties we associate with the notion of ownership in the software platform for structuring content over the Internet that our partner organization, Scrawlr Inc., is developing, and (2) incorporating into their software using sound software engineering principles elements of this notion of ownership. Our research will be of value to both our partner organization, and more broadly, to Canadians, as management and generation of new ways of presenting content over the Internet has now become a norm, and we seek to give owners of information meaningful control over it.

Fault Diagnosis for Gas Turbine Engine Systems Using Model-Based Techniques

The ability to find fault in engine systems and proactively monitor their progression to remedy the root-cause before it fails is of paramount importance in today’s industry safety. An effecting change in current engine monitoring methods will require insight and understanding of the level of robustness and engineering rigour required to maintain safety and airworthiness standards. A model-based fault detection method compares the engine’s output data to that of a model running simultaneously. A suitable threshold should be selected to avoid false alarms due to measurement non-repeatability and current model uncertainty. Any difference beyond a threshold value signifies that a fault has occurred. This project aims to develop novel methods for fault diagnosis of gas turbines that require fewer data/parameters to work while maintaining or improving the detection and isolation schemes’ accuracy.

Luminescent Solar Concentrator Waveguide Encoded Lattice (LWELs)

The principal objective of this project is to design and fabricate optically functional, slim, flexible, dielectric coatings – luminescent wavelength encoded lattices (LWELs) – that enhance sunlight harvesting and therefore, within the short term, have a measurable, significant impact on the efficiency of commercially available solar cells. LWELs will combine two powerful approaches to incandescent light-collection: (i) lumophores that convert ultraviolet light – normally wasted as dissipated heat – into visible wavelengths that can activate the photovoltaic cell and (ii) dense, complex 3-D polymer waveguide architectures that impart near-hemispherical fields of view (FOV), enabling efficient light collection despite the diurnal solar trajectory. This is fundamentally different from typical solar cell configurations, which are efficient only when the Sun is incident along the surface normal and therefore must be physically rotated to track the Sun across the sky.
