Optimization of an Engineering Information Retrieval System using Topic Models and Knowledge Graphs

The oil and gas industry is in the top five largest sectors in the world in terms of dollar value, generating an estimated $3.32 trillion in revenue annually. It is estimated that 40-60% of workforce in the oil and gas industry will retire in the next five years, so preserving the knowledge stored in documents is an important objective. The industry partner (WESI — Waterford Energy Services Inc.) has been developing a document management system to support this objective. In this project we focus on enhancing IR system for historical well reports by exploring different topic modelling and ontology building approaches. Topic modelling (TM) has a wide range of applications in domains such as social media, microblogging data, historical documents, biomedical data, etc. However, the practice has shown that there is no “one-fits-all” algorithm. Standard models usually do not perform well in domain- specific settings and our goal is to evaluate and develop recommendations for best-fitting TM algorithms for the well reports.

Biobased Mask Filtration Material

This proposed project seeks to develop a bio-based alternative, made from Canadian wood pulp, to the current petroleum based non-woven filtration materials used in face masks. The waste issue associated with petroleum based disposable face masks is becoming a significant issue in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the need for disposable masks is a tremendous business opportunity for PPE companies like Supermax, the development of a bio-based alternative has the potential to transform them into a market leader for socially and environmentally responsible masks. Canada’s supplies of personal protective equipment will depend on the sourcing of local materials and the manufacturing capabilities of its local companies. A bio-based material utilizing Canada’s vast pulp fiber supply, and thereby supporting an industry hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis, will give further benefits the Canadian economy, and importantly the environment.

Leveraging lessons learned from the front lines to inform policy and practice in hospital and community healthcare settings in the context of COVID-19

Among the many significant effects of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), Vancouver General Hospital’s (VGH) Department of Psychiatry has observed the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of patients and providers. These circumstances have created unprecedented demand for decisive and rapid action to avert hospital admissions related to mental health, maximize efficiency within hospitals in the context of physical distancing requirements, and improve wrap around care in partnership with community-based psychiatrists and family physicians. The pandemic has also forced a swift adoption of telehealth technologies, transforming care provision to reduce person-to-person contact while continuing to support patients during this critical time.
The Mitacs intern will join our team of healthcare providers and researchers to conduct a series of virtual focus groups with psychiatrists and family physicians providing care in VGH outpatient settings during the pandemic. The intern will help analyze and compile the findings into a report submitted VGH’s department of Psychiatry and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority leadership, and prepared a publication for an academic journal.

Explorations into the mechanism and potential of the antiviral activity of BOLD-100 as a treatment for COVID-19

BOLD-100 is a promising new drug that initial studies have shown has potent activity against the SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19) in cell culture experiments. Before being able to start clinical studies with BOLD-100, additional research into the mechanism of action is required, plus testing the safety and efficacy of BOLD-100 in animal models of COVID-19. The purpose of this project is to utilize a range of cell culture and animal models to test BOLD-100 against COVID-19 to better understand the drug. Additionally, investigations will look at other viral diseases that BOLD-100 might be utilized in. The results of this project will help define the potential of BOLD-100 as an antiviral drug for use in COVID-19 and beyond, and accelerate it’s development.

Ayrshire Capital – Financial Analyst

Ayrshire is an investment management firm focused principally on real estate investing in Alberta. We own retail, office and residential properties in multiple markets. Our portfolio is performing above expectations with respect to rent collection but Covid19 has materially slowed investment demand associated with new acquisition or developments. This is a cyclically opportunistic time to be investing in Alberta and we need an intern to help prepare a investment deck that thoroughly supports our thesis to invest in Alberta. This deck may be specific to some opportunities in our deal pipeline but will generally be focused on relative fundamentals important to real property markets. Even before Covid19 Alberta was viewed generally as a terrible place to invest. Covid19 exacerbated the negative sentiment and has made underwriting new opportunities very difficult. Our view is that the broader private capital “market” is mis-pricing this risk and that a foundation for strong returns can often be attractive pricing in contrarian circumstances. We are note pivoting our business away from real property but will be restore National investor confidence in Alberta with a thoughtfully prepared investment package.

Dynamic Mathematical Modeling for Control of Film Gauge for Tedlar® Film Casting

The objective of the proposed research project is to develop a mathematical model that can be used to predict, monitor and control the thickness profile of extruded Tedlar® film, particularly during product transitions and batch switches. Development of this model will require a detailed understanding of the extrusion and film casting process, as well as identification of key polymer and process parameters that influence film gauge. Existing and new process data from grade and batch changes will be collected and used to explore the influence of polymer properties and process conditions on dynamic changes in film thickness profiles. This data set will be used to make decisions about the types of phenomena that will be included in the mathematical model, to estimate model parameters and to validate model predictions.
