CertifiedStack Inc – Business Strategy Internship

The onset of COVID 19 has created disruption in many business sectors and it is strongly believed that the changes brought forth by the Pandemic are here to stay well after the situation is under control. The education and learning industry is one that has seen considerable changes in the fashion in which it operates; Online tools and platforms have become inevitable in the education and skill development space. This situation is seen to be a stimulus to the already fast growing online learning platforms. However, as there is more focus on online platforms than ever before, it is important to grasp the customer needs and changes in the business environment at a time of such formidable change. Hence, the main focus of the project would be 1. to identify and create new markets for the client organisation 2. understand the on going disruption/changing customer needs and what it means to the company’s growth 3. identifying partnerships and forging relationships that align with the strategic goals of the company. These initiatives and the feed back from the efforts are considered central to help steer the organisation’s strategy and growth plans.

Initiatives locales en environnement et en aménagement urbain (ILEAU) : des innovations sociales et techniques pour des villes résilientes et en santé

ILEAU (Interventions locales en environnement et aménagement urbain) est une campagne portée par le Conseil régional en environnement de Montréal ayant pour objectif d’améliorer la qualité des milieux de vie, en réduisant les ICU et en créant une trame verte et bleue active qui augmentera la biodiversité locale et favorisera les déplacements actifs sécuritaires dans l’est de Montréal. Différents partenariats ont été mis en place avec une cinquantaine d’organisations publiques, privées et communautaires. Le but de ce stage de recherche est d’identifier les interventions sur le territoire et les procédés de collaboration qui se démarquent et de systématiser le tout en constituant une boite à outils de référence permettant de transposer «le modèle ILEAU» à d’autres projets de réduction des ICU et de quartier en santé sur de nouveaux territoires.

The impact of human disturbance on habitat selection and social behaviour in Manitoba elk

We live in a world that is increasingly dominated by humans which places wildlife under extra pressure to cope with changes to their landscape. One of the most important ways that animals can cope with these changes is to show plasticity in their behaviour. Altering their social behaviour to allow them to reduce the risks of using human-modified areas while utilising energy-rich food sources improves their ability to cope. This project will use a new combination of techniques to investigate whether elk in Manitoba alter their movement patterns and social behaviour in response to agricultural land use. This will allow us to provide local stakeholders with information on how best to conserve these declining elk populations in terms of their land-use decisions.

Mentorship Needs in the Ontario Manufacturing Industry

This project will identify the necessary components for a high-quality mentorship program for workers in the Ontario manufacturing industry. Through review of existing mentorship programs, interviews with mentors and mentees, and a job analysis procedure for the mentor role, this research will assess the mentoring needs of manufacturing workers. The project will produce a task-based training guide for mentors so that they can most effectively engage with mentees in order to maximize recruitment and retention. The project will focus specifically on creating a mentorship program to best support underrepresented groups in the industry such as women, young workers and members of racialized groups. This work will contribute to Trillium core program of work that
manufacturing workforce.

Locating Trauma Through Resilience: Accessing Marginalized Narratives in a Global Pandemic

This 3-month project will be realized at Ryerson University in Toronto, under the supervision of Professor Irene Gammel. The project aims to contribute to the study of trauma by using resilience as an analytical lens. It will offer theoretical and context-informed understandings of marginalized narratives by drawing on my expertise in the arts, humanities and the political sciences. The project will, therefore, generate fresh theoretical understandings of trauma and resilience thinking; facilitate analysis and enrich awareness of marginalized narratives as cultural and literary responses to global pandemics; and enhance the capacity for interdisciplinary research and collaborations in the UK and Canada. The expected outcomes are as follows: a co-written journal article, a virtual network for postgraduates and early career researchers, and a series of creative outputs.

Design and Evaluation of Compact Nano-Enhanced LHTES for domestic heating radiators

Globally buildings are one of the sectors that consume the most energy. Thus, strategies and technologies are currently being developed to improve the energy efficiency of this sector and to work towards a low carbon economy. Latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTES) are a viable solution to improve the overall performance of renewable heating and electrification of heat systems. However, limitations such as the lack of proper design guidelines and cost have restricted the deployment of LHTES devices. The project aims to evaluate the use of nano-enhanced phase change materials (NEPCMs) in a compact LHTES to be fitted in commercially available domestic radiators to improve the overall efficiency of the conventional system. The gathered data will contribute to the development of design guideline LHTES systems.

Symbolic Model-Based Design of a Semi-Autonomous Vehicle Prototype Implementing Independent Wheel Torque Vectoring for Training an Advanced Driver Assistance System

There is a strong belief that autonomous vehicles will play a vital role in the future of the global transportation economy. There, however, exists many open challenges which need to be overcome to realize this future vision. One such challenge is the acceptance from the driver to relinquish full control of a vehicle and ultimately putting one’s safety in the hands of a computer. This foreseen inertia to change has prompted the development of a staged transition strategy by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with the extremes on a spectrum represented by i) no automation, to ii) fully autonomous vehicles. Potential Motors™ seeks to support this gradual transition by developing semi-autonomous vehicle technology that allows the driver to still be in control of bulk driving decisions while their Advanced Driver Assist System, RallyAI™, responds to events in the environment at a speed faster than any human could ever respond, augmenting the driver’s reaction time and ultimately making them safer. This project seeks to support Potential Motors™ in their mission, through developing an advanced computer simulation of a vehicle to test and train RallyAI™ to enable that safer future.

Les systèmes de partage de données et leurs architectures techniques

Le partage des données revêt aujourd’hui une importance majeure pour de nombreux secteurs de l’économie tout comme pour les grandes administrations et le monde de la recherche. Les attentes qui lui sont associées vont de la promotion de l’innovation et de la compétitivité en passant par l’amélioration des services publiques jusqu’au développement des connaissances. Les promesses qui lui sont attachées sont nombreuses: avènement d’une médecine plus personnalisée, meilleure saisie et capacité d’action sur le climat et ses variations, meilleure maîtrise de la propagation des virus, pour prendre quelques exemples tout droit sortis de l’actualité. Ce partage repose sur des systèmes informatiques, lesquels disposent d’architectures, dont les variations de forme (centralisées versus distribuées, par exemple) ont d’importantes implications sociales, politiques et économiques. C’est à l’examen approfondi de cette notion d’architecture que se dédie le projet de recherche, et partant de la perspective de ceux qui a priori en savent quelque chose: acteurs de terrain et/ou théoriciens de ces architectures.

Co-production of an eHealth application to improve the identification and prediction of early life health risk and resilience

The project aims to progress the development of a cloud-based application that will help healthcare professionals to identify and predict exposures in early life that might affect the chances of their patients experiencing ill-health in later life. It will do this by incorporating the views, values and requirements of its intended users (and those who will be affected by it) in its development, as this has been shown to improve the chances of technology being adopted and used. This will consequently improve the chances of this application achieving its aims of improving communication between patients and caregivers, and of improving population health and reducing disease burden through more targeted interventions.
