Thermal analysis of heat capture and upgrade systems for thermochemical hydrogen production

In order to meet Canada’s need for emissions-free hydrogen fuel, we aim to develop the Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical hydrogen production cycle into a pilot-plant which can be used to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of the process. An important portion of this development is research into how to integrate the Cu-Cl cycle with a waste heat source. By utilizing waste heat capture and upgrade, the Cu-Cl cycle can generate hydrogen fuel using energy that otherwise would be radiated into the environment. This project will involve a thermodynamic model of the Cu-Cl cycle which integrates waste heat capture and upgrade systems, allowing for multiple industrial waste heat sources to be considered. This model would also help the integration of the Cu-Cl cycle with dedicated thermal sources to generate large amounts of clean, emissions-free hydrogen fuel.

Effect of V on the fir-tree zone and Fe-rich intermetallic phase selection in AA1xxx DC cast alloy

Rio Tinto Alcan, the industrial partner of this project, is slowly faced a challenge to produce AA1XXX DC cast ingots with much higher impurity levels than before. The present project is aimed to investigate the influence of impurity elements, particularly V levels, on the fir-tree zone and its related Fe-rich intermetallic phase selection. This project will study the effect of V and Ca on the fir-tree zone and distribution of Fe-rich intermetallics in the function of the distance from the chill surface in order to better control the fir-tree zone at higher impurity levels to improve the cast quality. This project will provide the best guidelines to the industrial partner, Rio Tinto Alcan, forimproving the production of AA 1xxx alloy with high impurity levels to meet the highest standards in the marketplace.

Structural Controls of Mineralization of the Sixtymile, Yukon Gold project

Demand for metals, including gold, is ever increasing particularly as modern technologies, including sustainable energy production, rely on such finite resources. As easily accessible surficial deposits in traditional mining areas such as the Sixtymile gold district, YK, deplete ever more advanced approaches to exploration are required that search deeper in the ‘bedrock’. However, exploration for gold in the bedrock of the Sixtymile gold district requires advanced knowledge of the subsurface distribution of rock types, which is controlled by geological processes such as faulting. As such, this project aims to identify, locate, and characterize the faults and related geologic structures in the bedrock that may host gold in the Sixtymile gold district. Faults are important geologic structures that provide pathways for the flow and depositions of large volumes of gold-forming fluids in the otherwise impermeable bedrock. Gaining a better understanding of these structures increases the rates of gold exploration success. Such knowledge also helps design efficient extraction designs/techniques to minimizes environmental effects of mining.

A lab-on-chip fish welfare sensor for application in aquaculture

We propose using the Cortisol hormone, secreted from the fishes during stressful events, to provide ongoing monitoring of fish welfare while in their habitats. Instrumented aquaculture pens will allow operators to continuously be aware of threats to fish health, including harmful blooms, predators, and/or poachers. As Canadian aquaculture capital investments are remote and offshore, a low-cost and low-maintenance Cortisol sensor would be ideal for these sites. By utilizing lab-on-chip technology, we aim to provide a sensor that consumes minimal reagent per measurement permitting longer deployments. In this research project, we will perform appropriate de-risking activities to address the key questions that would enable a Lab-on-chip Cortisol sensor. These include reagent shelf-life/stability, microfluidic chip material compatibility, seawater matrix effects on accuracy of the chemistry, and proof-of-concept instrumentation. Such a sensor would provide much needed insight for safeguarding aquaculture investments and ensuring responsible stewardship of our farms around the planet.

L’égalité de fait : Application et pérennité de l’analyse différenciée selon les sexes avec la perspective intersectionnelle (ADS+) en débat à la Ville de Montréal.

L’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes demeure un enjeu considérable dans la Ville de Montréal. La participation des femmes à la transformation de leur ville n’est pas égale à celui des hommes. Mais depuis, 2019, la Ville amorce un projet pilote de formation en Analyse Différenciée selon les sexes Intersectionnelle (ADS+) en partenariat avec Relais-femmes pour contrer les inégalités et le manque d’inclusion que subissent les femmes. Néanmoins, à la lumière de certains enjeux et défis rencontrés dans le cadre de ce projet pilote, Relais-femmes souhaite poursuivre, parallèlement au projet pilote, une démarche d’analyse réflexive concernant la portée tangible de l’ADS+, son potentiel de pérennité et de changement social en matière d’égalité et d’inclusion aux instances démocratiques de la Ville de Montréal pour l’ensemble des citoyens et citoyennes.

COORDINATION, COLLABORATION ET CONCERTATION DES ORGANISMES DE CORPORATIONS DE DÉVELOPPEMENT COMMUNAUTAIRE : VERS UN MODÈLE DE LEADERSHIP DISTRIBUÉ

Les Corporations de Développement Communautaire (CDC) jouent un rôle central auprès des citoyens par leur offre de services complémentaires aux programmes des gouvernements. Au Québec, on dénombre plus de 60 CDC regroupant plus de 2500 organismes. Ceux-ci agissent d’une manière autonome dans différents champs d’activité (p.ex., santé et services sociaux, éducation, famille, employabilité, alphabétisation, défense des droits, logement, culture, environnement, immigration, etc.). Dans le contexte la pandémie, il parait que de plus en plus de citoyens sollicitent au même moment plus d’un organisme ; une situation qui révèle le besoin d’augmenter la capacité de ces organismes à coordonner, collaborer et concerter (3C) leurs efforts afin, d’une part, d’optimiser l’utilisation de leurs ressources, et d’autres part, de servir davantage d’usagers. Pour ce faire, la présente étude se propose d’explorer le modèle d’action (individuel et collectif) des organismes CDC afin de dégage un modèle plus intégrateur (coordination, collaboration et concertation ou 3C) favorisant la transversalité et basé sur un leadership distribué entre tous les acteurs de l’écosystème des organismes CDC. Une approche méthodologique à la fois qualitative et quantitative sera suivie et un échantillon de 50 organismes CDC opérant dans des champs variés.

Marketing Project for Admission Advisors

Admission Advisors is an international student recruitment agency founded in 2004 located in Toronto. They mainly recruit students for over 40 different educational institutions across Canada. Their key main focus areas are academic advice & counseling. They provide academic advice to students including information on courses and programs offered by their partners’ institutions. By working with the partner organization, not only I was able to increase their revenue as a business but alongside I’ll be contributing an impact while helping the organization to find the best-fit students who can come to a country like Canada and create their future and ultimately contributing in Canada’s economy. Overall, the pandemic has had a significant impact on international students and the Canadian institutions and communities that host them. Canadian universities and colleges are facing a potential budget crunch as they try to assess the impact of COVID-19 on international student enrolment, a multibillion-dollar enterprise that has come to represent a significant portion of many schools’ budgets.

YYC Growers and Distributors Cooperative Inc. – Summer Analyst

The disruption we all faced in 2020 was deeply experienced in the food system. As shoppers saw empty grocery shelves they understood on a visceral level the fragility of the global food system. YYC Growers did not experience this disruption and in fact increased our reach with our delicious local food. We have a vibrant, though small, local food shed that is proud to be growing food in ways that improve ecological outcomes. The project we are proposing will quantify both the economic and climate impacts of eating locally. These two impacts will be considered as the foundation to clarify the right organizational structure to scale this important work of access to clean food that improves life on the planet to other communities around Alberta and across Canada.

Making Data Science Easy for Everybody

Open science is the concept of freely sharing data to the public. With large-scale data becoming more easily accessible to everyone, it is important to create a platform where the public can visit to analyze and interpret data. And although open science increases the accessibility of data and reports to the public, it does not reduce readers’ language barriers or increase statistical literacy. In order to responsibly promote the use of data among the public, this project aims to create a platform that allows users to answer a series of data-relevant questions, so it can automatically build code to analyze and visualize data. The platform will then provide the results using plain language and visualizations rather than test statistics. In other words, our aim is to create a platform that makes data science easy for everybody.

Criterim Group – Analyst/Junior Consultant

Since the first case in Alberta, COVID-19 has impacted everyone, especially the most vulnerable. At Criterium Group, we pride ourselves on our resiliency; with our agile structure and ways of working, we have been able to adapt to these challenging times. In light of the pandemic, we have focused on working with our clients to support their strategy development and adapt their structures and processes, so they too can be resilient. In addition to supporting current projects in both the private and public sector, one client and partnership we want to support even further and highlight is the United Way of Calgary and Area (UWCA).
UWCA has had to shift their focus on dealing with the crisis at hand and requires consultancy support in paving the way for even greater resilience in the future. Criterium Group is proposing to hire four to five interns from the top Canadian universities to consult for UWCA. Criterium Group would cover the costs and would provide consulting services to UWCA as pro bono. Specifically, the Criterium Group interns would support the Social Impact Lab (Lab) and Digital Transition initiatives.
