Intern

Through my work with the Women of Windsor, I hope to inspire more women to become a part of this organization that does a great job of uplifting women all around. It is important, especially in these times, to support each other when we can encourage one another to take on leadership roles in the community. Women of Windsor allows for women in great places to become a mentor to those who may one day wish to be in the same position. I would have personally loved to have someone who guides me along the way through my academic and professional career and still hope to make such a connection one day moving forward. Through my work with this project, I also hope we can overcome obstacles in the way due to the global pandemic that no one person or organization could have prepared for. For example, we have planned to have a focused seminar involving inspiring women leaders coming together to share their experiences and wisdom through a virtual platform.

Silverberry Genomix is a health platform company that is slowly expanding its business to integrate its product into various different systems. Our COVID-19 Impact Risk Reports are being delivered across senior care facilities in order to better equip managers with the tools to control and prevent the pandemic from causing harm to their residents. So far I’ve been responsible for creating a whitepaper document addressing the current industry climate and challenges, while also being able to reach out to prospective industry experts to interview on the subject. I also just received my own project that I will be developing over the coming months and its related to integrating Silverberry Genomix’s service as a part of employee wellness and benefits program across different companies in order to help employers promote a healthier lifestyle for their employees who’ve switched to remote work.

Integration of Safety Analysis into Model-Based Systems Engineering

In recent years, there has been a rapid advancement of technology and an increased use of computer models to develop aircraft and aircraft systems. Unfortunately, safety assessment procedures have remained largely document-based, and thus have struggled to keep up with such rapid design changes. The objective of this project is to develop a solution that will enable safety assessment to be conducted more efficiently and reliably, and hence decreasing development time and cost. As a result, this will allow the partner organisation as well as other companies in the aerospace industry to deliver safer systems, and ultimately producing safer aircraft.

Developing a watershed approach to manage anthropogenic and environmental stressors in an eastern Lake Ontario watershed

Water quality in the watersheds of the Great Lakes are under ever-increasing pressures from population growth, urban expansion, economic development, nutrient enrichment, and climate change. We aim to develop a statistical model to understand the relative influence of anthropogenic stressors on water quality for the central Lake Ontario watershed surrounding the cities of Oshawa, Whitby, and Ajax. The project will: review potential ecological, water quality, climate, population, land cover, social, and economic data sources from global re-analysis data, open-access databases, government, industry, environmental networks, and scientific literature; and develop a basic prototype of a machine-learning data intensive watershed analytical approach to understand how anthropogenic stressors impact water quality. These models will be used to forecast water quality conditions under different scenarios of population growth and climate change. The results of this research will be useful for non-profit government organizations, conservation agencies, and urban planners to manage water quality in the Great Lakes watershed.

Mental Health Series: Addressing the mental health concerns of medical radiation technologists in Canada

In 2018, the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) identified that there were high levels of emotional exhaustion and among medical radiation technologists. Research has shown that such burnout can lead to significant personal implications, reduced quality of patient care, and can have financial implications for organizations due to absenteeism and low job satisfaction.4–7 There are significant gaps in the literature surrounding the mental health of MRTs and a lack of resources to support them. This research project will help to rectify this situation by gathering mental health information (national survey, interviews and focus groups) and creating guideline resources on how to deal with mental health issues in the workplace. The proposed intern will be involved in all stages within this project. CAMRT will benefit, in alignments with its mandate, by providing valuable mental health information and resources to its membership at the personal, organization and system level to support change that may ultimately improve patient care.

Quantifying Environmental and Anthropogenic Impacts on Coastline Instability at Point Pelee National Park (PPNP) and Peninsula

The focus of this project is to measure the historical and current rates of shoreline change around Point Pelee National Park (PPNP) and Peninsula. This information, combined with survey, climate, land use, and statistical data, will provide a better understanding on the primary causes, locations, and timings of significant shoreline change trends observed within the region. A conference or ‘Hackathon’ will be conducted to gather local scientists, engineers, and stakeholders to collectively discuss potential strategies designed to mitigate the environmental impacts of shoreline erosion around the peninsula. The primary goal of this work is to provide baseline data and methodologies that will be used to inform and guide continuous coastal monitoring and managements strategies in the region.

Condition Assessment of Concrete Bridges using GPR Technology

Bridge Management Systems are being used worldwide by transportation agencies as a means to effectively manage the stocks of existing bridges. Quebec Ministry of Transportation own and maintain a huge inventory of over 9,600 bridges, i.e. provincial: 5,300 and municipal: 4,300 bridges. MTQ uses visual inspection, which is always subjective to operators’ technique, experience, and interpretation, to record defects on bridges and assess their conditions. Although visual inspection can find most of the external flaws; however,
it cannot detect internal defects in structures. Many efforts have been made to solve such problems using nondestructive evaluation technologies, which is still rather limited. In addition, most of the developed techniques focused on condition rating of bridge decks neglecting to include the other bridge elements. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to develop a condition assessment system for concrete bridges based upon the inspection outputs of Ground-Penetrating Radar as a NDE technology.

Iterative and hypothesis driven optimization of Bull Semen Cryopreservation Media

Cryopreserved (frozen) semen provides optimal genetics to cattle and especially dairy farmers, facilitating improved breeding programs. The sperm cryopreservation process significantly reduces fertility compared to fresh sperm. Each percent of reduced fertility amounts to a significant financial loss to farmers. Thus there is great pressure on semen providers to improve post thaw fertility, as it is a significant market decider. In order to be successfully cryopreserved, sperm must undergo a number of damaging processes. Many previous researchers have looked at specific processes individually, but we believe that all parts of the cryopreservation process must be considered in an interconnected whole. Therefore, we propose a novel whole-protocol optimization strategy combining novel biophysical research with a novel experimental optimization design. This will result in an improved sperm cryopreservation protocol for SEMEX, and improved understanding of sperm damage so that well designed follow-up studies can be implemented.

Application of Light Detection and Ranging in Right-of-Way Management Program

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances. These pulses are combined with other data (Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and inertial navigation system (INS)) to precisely obtain the position of points over the shape of the earth and its surface characteristics. The capability of LiDAR to collect an enormous amount of data makes it perfect for pipeline right-of-way (ROW) management. However, handling a large dataset and extracting the features of interest is challenging and it requires intelligent and fast algorithms to automate the process. Machine and deep learning models are able to efficiently and progressively classify different objects from LiDAR datasets which enables us to check the surroundings of the pipelines which will be addressed in this research project.

Assessment of the Stoko Novel Supportive Tight

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), located in the knee, is commonly injured during sports. Patients who experience ACL tears often delay or choose to forgo surgery, which can reduce knee stability and alter movement patterns. Knee bracing is a commonly used treatment method to stabilize the knee. A novel method of knee bracing has been designed by Stoko to incorporate structural support in a supportive tight. The objectives of this research are to determine the efficacy of the Stoko supportive
tight in stabilizing knee mechanics in ACL deficient patients.
30 ACL deficient patients will be recruited from a local clinic and outfitted with Stoko supportive tights. These patients will then undergo movement analysis during walking, running, and jumping withand without the supportive tights. The differences in movement patterns with and without the tights will determine the effects of the Stoko supportive tights to stabilize patients without an ACL.
