3-D Mesoscale Imaging of Turbine Runner Alloys

In the project, we will use an advanced microscope instrument, called a plasma focused ion beam to image the three dimensional structure of turbine materials used to generate hydroelectric power, with the aim of design a method for predicting damage and maintenance schedules in the long term. If we can understand the microstructure of these steels, we can figure out how they will deform over the long term.

Optimising Green Rainwater Infrastructure for Rain City Strategy Targets

The City of Vancouver’s Integrated Rainwater Management Plan and Rain City Strategy provides rainwater management targets and design standards for public spaces (streets, public spaces, parks) and private spaces (private property, City-owned property) in the City of Vancouver. To reach these targets, the City has adopted several Green Rainwater Infrastructure (GRI) approaches to achieve the design standards in both types of spaces. The GRI types that will help the City meet its targets sustainably include green roofs, rain barrels, and rain. The City however, is coming up against barriers to implementing these types of GRIs so to overcome these issues, this work will increase the understanding of how these GRIs can be used on different building types and spaces to meet the Rain City Strategy targets. A handful of case studies spanning the range of Tier 1 type GRIs will be selected and analyzed to demonstrate how these GRIs work and why. The case studies analysis will be developed to demonstrate to the public the benefit to both the public and private sector, and to promote their use in future planning.

Ecology and Conservation of Grassland Songbirds in the Waterton Park Front Area

The objective of this project is to establish a long-term study on the ecology of grassland songbirds in the Waterton Park Front Area (just outside of Waterton National Park), Alberta. The student will examine how different grazing regimes and other management actions influence birds. Fieldwork, which will occur from approximately May to July each year, will involve bird surveys, vegetation monitoring, and interacting with a variety of stakeholders. The Nature Conservancy of Canada will benefit by learning how different management strategies on their properties influence grassland songbirds. This could influence future management actions on these properties, and will help ranchers and conservation organizations find common ground from which we can ensure ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

Freight consolidation and container loading optimization

This project investigates a complex freight consolidation and loading problem faced by Frontline Carrier Systems Inc., a leading transportation and supply chain provider in North America. Frontline seeks to optimize their transportation costs by minimizing the number of trucks required to ship a set of customer orders within a finite planning horizon. The problem integrates freight consolidation decisions to assign skids to trucks, scheduling decisions to determine the departure time of truckloads, and three-dimensional (3D) loading decisions to determine how these skids should be placed inside each truck. Skids weight, volume and lead time constraints are considered to ensure feasibility and effective truck capacity utilization. The main objective is to develop algorithms based on the latest advances in artificial intelligence and analytics – including optimization, probability and statistics. These algorithms will be at the core of an advanced planning system capable of quickly generating feasible shipping plans and 3D animations of the truck loading patterns.

Stochastic Optimization Approach for the Multi Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem

Vehicle scheduling is one of the main planning problems for transit agencies. While it is relatively simple to solve in the deterministic and single-depot setting, these assumptions are unrealistic in real-world applications. Specifically, ignoring major sources of uncertainty (such as travel times) and making decisions over average predictions can lead to inferior schedules that incur additional costs and reduce the quality of service during execution. In this project, we consider the multi-depot vehicle scheduling problem under uncertainty. We propose a mathematical model that receives a timetable and historical data (e.g., travel times) to generate a long-term schedule while taking into account the day-to-day operational stage and potential future scenarios of various uncertain parameter realizations therein. The resulting schedule is optimal in terms of average total (scheduling and operational) cost and the rescheduling needs on a day-to-day basis due to uncertainty.

Supply Chain & Industrial Cluster Analysis for a particular metallurgy industry in the lower columbia region

CoVID-19 has impacted the businesses in the region at multiple dimensions. The mandate of the project is to research and analyze the impact on the supply chain. There are many small focused businesses in the region and most of them don’t have a dedicated R&D section for understanding the market dynamics. The purpose of this project under the supervision of LCIC will be to fill that void for the existing and thriving businesses. This study will make an integral contribution to the Metal Tech Alley’s initiative of making an industrial circular economy in the region with a focus to reduce waste and promote recycle. Metal Tech Alley is an initiative led by LCIC in collaboration with metallurgy companies in the region

Oyate Tipi Boutique Marketing Plan

I will oversee their new online store called the OT Boutique. My tasks will include creating a marketing plan for their new online store. The plan must be simple and sustainable so that once my internship is over, the staff will have no problem continuing it. I will also be in charge of deciding how the items should be priced, under the help and guidance of Rosalie Harms. This will include a lot of secondary research so that I can better understand the external competitive environment. The success of the project will eventually mean that the organization will be able to help more women, children and other people leaving homelessness or abusive situations. Moreover, funds raised through the OT Boutique will help cover non-funded expenses and potentially cover some employee salaries in the future. Alex Beasse envisions the OT Boutique to be sustainable enough so that the organization doesn’t have to fully rely on public funding which can be very unpredictable at times.

LIAM First – Accounting Assistant

We would like a student to work through our accounting processes and recommend areas for improvement and also to help digitize the processes so that the accounting work can be done remotely if any staff were not able to go to the office or even be located in Fort McMurray. We will rely on the student to research alternatives that could be available for digitizing our invoice receipt, approval and entering process.
