Asper School of Business – Mitacs BSI – Carbon Block

The day to day will be conducting research into (1) What the existing carbon offset methodologies are and how they are composed,( 2) how solar specifically reduces coal/natural gas, (3) How to prove solar production by location, (4) how to calculate grid CO2 intensity from different grid inputs, i.e. 50% coal, 25% natural gas, 20% wind, 5% solar. The latter half of their time with Carbon Block will be to assemble/summarize their research into a report that details how the carbon offset calculations are made. We will use this report to quantify the carbon offsets our technology is creating. As technical lead, the student will report to the co-founder, Alex Stuart and he will be able to give specific instructions as necessary, however the student will need to be self-motivated. The student will not be presenting or speaking with customers, so verbal command of English is not critical.

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of sludges/biosolids for the production of bio-crude oils – Development of low-footprint energy-selfsufficient new sludge treatment processes based on HTL

Conventional wastewater treatment process includes primary treatment (clarifier), secondary treatment (aeration tanks) and anaerobic digestion (AD) of primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS), followed by disposal of the bio-solids from of the AD process. It is estimated that the sludge treatmenUdisposal processes account for approximately 40% of the costs for a wastewater treatment plant. Currently three main approaches are: land application, landfill disposal, and incineration/thermal technologies. These approaches are facing great challenges due to various concerns related to the secondary emissions, limited land availability and costs. Compared with the conventional sludge disposal approaches, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology using hot-pressed water converts sludges/bio-solids into valuable products such as bio-oil, bio-char and aqueous product (AP). The HTL technology is particularly promising for processing high-water-content biomass resources such as sludge and bio-solids as it eliminates the need of costly de watering/drying process that is otherwise required in other thermal/thermo-chemical processes.

THz Characterization of Size and Shape Selected InN Nanoparticles and Their Alloys

The main objective of this project is to integrate technological advances emerging from two major scientific fields, synthesis of nanomaterials and THz characterization to correlate material properties with single photon emission. The focus of this project is to design, and synthesize nanomaterials based on group-III nitrides and oxynitrides and study their material properties using THz radiation for single photon emission. Using THz scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM) available at the Photon Science Institute (PSI), University of Manchester, UK, we propose to simultaneously map the topography and local dielectric function with <30nm spatial resolution, generating 2D images of individual InN nanoparticles as well as their clustered assemblies. This will provide unique insight into their make-up at the nanoscale and uncover any nanoscale inhomogeneities (e.g., due to defects) in optoelectronic properties of the nanoparticles. Further, electron mobility, carrier concentration, and scattering rates will be extracted for nanoparticle ensembles using far-field THz time-domain spectroscopy. Similar THz measurements conducted in the near-field in conjunction with nano-tomography on core-shell nanoparticles will yield information about shell thickness and its effects on the optoelectronic properties at nanoscale lengths.

Community Futures Marketing Internship

Project objective is to develop an actionable Marketing Strategy for CF FFG.
Activities will include:
1. Market research (where do business owners or future business owners, in the Fraser Fort George region, look for information?)
2. Development of a Marketing Strategy based on knowledge of CF FFG and the market research.
3. Establish a ‘branding theme’ (must use the CF FFG logo as this is a pan-western brand).
4. Notations of how to recognize funders in marketing materials.
5. Update the website – thus, making it more user friendly and intuitive.
6. Identify potential campaigns for marketing – i.e. loan campaigns, small business month, international women’s day, disabilities day, etc.
7. Develop campaign materials – ‘plug and play’ for CF FFG to use in the future.
8. Several generic marketing templates that a picture and words can be changed and reused for different notice and/or events (posters, Instagram, FB, Linked-in, other identified sources for marketing)
9. Set up Hootsuite (or other identified platform) and support two members of the CF FFG team in learning how to utilize this effectively

Metal Mixtures – Data for Field-Relevant Soil Quality Criteria to Protect Plant Health

Environmental quality criteria (EQCs) for soils are not designed to protect ecosystems from multiple contaminants that co-occur. EQCs are overwhelmingly based on dose-response studies of single contaminants, and lack mechanisms for scaling EQCs to accurately predict metal mixtures toxicity. The inability to predict risk for metal mixtures in soils at Canada’s many current and legacy extractive mining sites, as well as federally managed contaminated sites, is a high priority for base metal mining companies (e.g. Vale), as well as for Environment and Health Canada. The Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) is being used to evaluate toxicity of metals mixtures to aquatic organisms; however, its application to soils, for predicting even single metal toxicity to plants, has been of limited success. The objectives of the proposed research are to develop a BLM-type framework for predicting actual dose of soil metals mixtures to plants.
