Design Energy Harvesting Circuit and its System-on-Chip Implementation

We have seen the acceleration of global warming in recent years. Green-energy powered electronic devices are more desirable. In this proposal, we propose to develop an energy harvesting circuit and implement it on a system-on-chip. The design goals are low-cost, user-friendly, and portable. By partnering with Hidaca Ltd., our ultimate goal is to have this made-in-Canada technology available on the market as soon as possible to benefit Canadians and the global population.

Scaled Physical Modeling of Geomechanical Implications of Wormholes During CO2-Based CSI in CHOPS Reservoirs Part A: Centrifuge Testing of 3D Printed Specimens

Deliberate massive sand influx used to increase oil recovery from shallow heavy oil resources ultimately results in low oil recovery. This means 85-95% of oil would remain unrecovered during the co-production of oil and sand process, which is referred to as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS). In this project, we looked at the possibility to enhance oil recovery using CO2 injection. By employing a geotechnical centrifuge and additive manufacturing (3D printing rock) technology, this research provides a better understanding of the dominant driving forces during cyclic injection of CO2 for sustainable, responsible, and transformative heavy oil production from these CHOPS reservoirs.

Drivers and early warning signs of biodiversity change in urban ecosystems

With increasingly urban populations worldwide and a growing need to ensure ecosystem service provision, managers must plan not only for the urban woodlands we have today, but also for what they might become. This project will develop indicators to detect changes urban woodland succession and its repercussions on future biodiversity. Using existing environmental monitoring data from the Greater Toronto Area, we will first identify candidate woodland characteristics that are sensitive to urbanization, then test their ability to predict woodland succession and biodiversity for a long-term monitoring dataset in the same area. The partner organization will benefit from this work by being able to include expected ecosystem trajectory into their site characterization and conservation prioritization process, helping achieve future ecosystem services and biodiversity targets and improve urban sustainability.

Digital Audio Multi-Effects Platform for Eurorack Modular Synthesizers

Modular synthesizers are becoming more commonplace in the studios of musicians around the globe. These instruments, first invented in the 1960s, are composed of modules, each of which performs a unique function, such as generating sounds or modifying them by applying effects such as distortion, echo and more. When building a modular synthesizer, the user is faced with a number of choices – which kind of modules do I need?
In lieu of buying dozens of modules to find the correct one for their style, they can instead opt for another solution.
Modern digital technology has given rise to a type of module that can perform many different functions depending on the context. These modules are programmable and can store dozens of different algorithms. This provides the user with a sample-platter of the various offerings in the field of modular synthesizers. The main drawback to these types of modules is that they lose dedicated hardware controls for sound processing and synthesis algorithm variables (one of the main advantages of modular synthesizers).

Managing Shared State for Video Games in a Networked Multi-core Environmen

Video Games require a vast array of different computations to present the desired experience. These computations must be completed consistently to make the software responsive to the user. The industry trend towards many separate processors (multi-core) in the same phYSical device and the emergence of network based ‘cloud’ computing have created many opportunities, but also many challenges for the game industry. The goal of this project is to create efficient techniques to organize and schedule the computations to take advantage of all the processors available. These techniques must ensure that the results produced correctly and are obtained quickly enough to satisfy responsiveness. Each of these techniques will have a corresponding aspect that allows them to be used by programmers who are not experts in utilizing multiple processors. While this project focuses on games, the benefits will be applicable to many domains, especially in the emerging field of mobile consumer-oriented applications.

Diagnostic sectoriel et portrait des entrepreneurs forestiers au Québec

Les dirigeants de petites et moyennes entreprises forestières, aussi appelés entrepreneurs forestiers, sont au coeur du réseau de création de valeur du secteur forestier au Québec. Il s’avère important d’actualiser nos connaissances sur le sujet, car la situation du secteur forestier a grandement évolué depuis le début des année 2010, par exemple le secteur fait face à une pénurie criante d’entrepreneurs et de travailleurs qui met en péril la performance des usines et de l’aménagement des forêts au Québec.
Ce projet propose la mise en place d’une étude rigoureuse mettant à contribution les méthodes scientifiques qui permettront de mettre à jour nos connaissances des problématiques de main-d’oeuvre et d’emploi du secteur forestier ainsi que d’identifier un plan d’action en entrepreneuriat forestier. À la clé, un tel projet contribuera au développement de stratégies favorisant un réseau de création de valeur plus performant pour l’ensemble de la filière forestière canadienne.

Activity recognition and workload estimation algorithm development using the Kinetyx SI insole system

Smart devices can allow active individuals to monitor their training workload in order to reduce injuries and improve performance. However, many devices are geared towards a single activity, which limits their impact. Kinetyx recently developed an insole with multiple sensors that can be worn within a shoe while performing many activities. Using this insole, we will develop algorithms that identify different activities and provide feedback on the workload from those activities. Creating algorithms to turn the Kinetyx insole into a smart insole has the potential to reduce overuse injury risks and improve performance so that people can stay active and healthy.

Project Coordinator

Recently, I applied to the Project Coordinator Internship at TalentClick to contribute to the company to achieve maximum growth in the new global business environment by working on various projects and providing support to the sales, marketing, and operations teams. As a Marketing manager in three different industries, I had the opportunity to coordinate and implement in a successful manner several marketing projects and events from inception to completion. However, my 6 years’ experience has been built only in the marketing and sales departments of the companies. Thus, I believe that participating in this Internship program at TalentClick I will acquire experiential skills in a new department, other than Marketing and Sales because I will be working directly with the Operations department of TalentClick and I am sure that this will be a very enriching experience.
