The Children’s Link Sociery – HR Project Lead

This is an opportunity for The Children’s Link to further expand our ability to support children and families through early prevention and intervention with the entire family. Alberta children and youth aged 0-21 years and their families will have equitable access to services that support child safety, well-being and development, and caregiver capacity and support. We are looking to develop a fee for service for some of our programs and need some strategic thinking and vision to support this. We recognize the need to expand as there is no agency offering services like ours in Canada. We believe this is the time to incorporate a hybrid business model and engender revenue as a social enterprise and/or fee for service at the same time, maintain grants and donations. The objective is to recognize other revenue sources such as membership, Workshop training etc. that is sustainable in long run and aligns internally and externally for a sturdy brand equity.

Product Strategy

The proposed business strategy internship involves working closely with the founders of Fairom (www.fairom.com Canadian financial technology company) to map the current landscape of products / technology used in financial services firms, primarily banks, insurance, hedge funds/ money managers for derivative transaction processing and trade life cycle management. It further involves researching the feasibility of blockchain technology in derivative life cycle management where distributed ledger technology (DLT) could be efficiently used to reduce manual processes and introduce a more technology efficient and cost-effective process flow. The internship provides an opportunity to wear multiple hats and take a deep dive into distributed ledger technology and its applications in financial services. The project is expected to produce significant inputs to the product strategy at Fairom. Based on the market study, Fairom’s platform will be enhanced to address the most relevant and cost intensive challenges of the derivatives market participants. The project is further expected to identify business opportunities in related areas like confirmation and trade settlement operations, collateral management and regulatory reporting areas.

Mitacs Intern at Spiridon Technologies

The technology landscape has changed as a result of the ongoing pandemic. Spiridon must analyze the current market to determine whether acquisition opportunities exist and must evaluate the performance of previous acquisition targets. The overall goal of redefining Spiridon Technologies strategy for business acquisition will be accomplished in two steps. The first step revolves around the analysis and forecasting of the performance of M&A targets. This step involves an evaluation to determine which targets will prevail in a post-COVID environment. In addition to assessing the resilience of M&A targets, the first step will also incorporate market and industry research. The bulk of the research will be focused on the technology sector. The second step revolves around the identification of new business opportunities. COVID-19 has produced various opportunities for technology firms to serve, whether it be a new market or an existing market that has been impacted negatively. The identification of new business opportunities will comprise of financial modelling and an analysis to determine both business implications and possibilities for growth. As a consolidator of North American technology companies, Spiridon Technologies has the opportunity to serve new or existing markets that have been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Revision of Socio-Spatial Conceptions for Designing Public Spaces and Built Environments in Post Pandemic Alberta – Year two

This design research project explores existing and ongoing perspectives on (post) pandemic conceptions in built environment settings in Alberta, from an architectural design perspective. The results will add to the scholarly research on sustainable design of “public spaces” to support (post) COVID-19 period health concerns and recommendations, thereby contributing to the development of healthier design and more equitable, sustainable communities in Alberta. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a global public health crisis, which is coupled with the “new normal” of social distancing guidelines and health measures. The project suggests that this new normal, instituted to manage the spread of COVID-19, will generate new socio-spatial conceptions in post-pandemic design. This project invokes theory and practice, conducting design research that will be applicable to Manasc Isaac Architects’ recent and upcoming public space design projects, which include designs, renovations, and programming of congregate public space (spaces where people gather, e.g., institutional learning, cultural, and/or theatre space) in Alberta. In sum, this design research project will include a referential framework and develop in-depth case studies to create healthy built environments that represent the required synergy between sustainable design practice and post-pandemic public health needs, critical to re-visioning, re-designing, and re-programming congregate public spaces.

Techna Nanotechnology Cluster

The first successful clinical application of nanotechnology was the use of a nanoparticle container to
deliver a drug to a tumour. That basic strategy of using a nanoparticle to carry a treatment or indicator
molecule has a lot of potential, but requires continued research to determine the therapeutic
effectiveness and potential toxicity of each container and payload combination. DLVR Therapeutics
and Merrimack Pharmaceuticals focus on the development of nanotechnology-based chemotherapeutic
and imaging agents. For each new formulation, the drug delivery characteristics, biological distribution
and interaction with cellular targets in tumours need to be determined. These properties will be
investigated in tumour models with various imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance
imaging, positron emission tomography, and optical microscopy. Successful testing of the properties of
these nanostructures in preclinical models is a vital step for the industrial partners, as this allows them
to readily translate new nanotechnology solutions to the clinic.

Large deformation finite element analysis of as-laid offshore pipelines using Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach for dynamic embedment and lateral displacement

Subsea pipelines playa significant role in transportation of hydrocarbon. In deep water trenching is
difficult and therefore pipelines are often laid on the seabed. However, these pipelines could be
penetrated into the seabed a fraction of its diameter during installation. Pipelines might experience
thermal expansion due to low ambient and high internal temperature during operation cycles which can
cause pipelines to expand axially and buckle laterally. The main objective of the proposed research is
to perform finite element analyses of partially embedded offshore pipelines in cohesive soil for lateral
displacement of pipelines in undrained condition using Coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL) approach
with an advanced soil constitutive model.

Evaluation of species specific success for fish passing through fishways

Irving Oil Ltd. (IOL) manages impounded wetlands on company owned properties including a wetland located on the Little River at the site of the Saint John Oil Refinery. IOL in partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) manages this wetland and other impoundments to provide proper habitat for wildlife including fishes and ducks. To do this this IOL must know the most cost effective way to manage physical factors (i.e., water flow and temperature, fishway structure) that affect the viability of wildlife in its wetlands. Adjusting physical variables is costly, both in capital costs (i.e. materials for new fishways) and operations and maintenance (i.e. adjusting water flow).

Development of novel therapeutics for multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens by targeting indel-containing essential proteins Part 2

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens are ubiquitous in hospitals and community settings. New antibiotics against unexploited targets are urgently needed to better control such infections. The proposed research aims to identify novel, drug targets and therapeutics for antibiotic-resistant nosocomial pathogens, capitalizing on a proprietary indel-targeting approach that takes advantage of structural differences between homologous essential human and pathogen proteins. The intern will help identify inhibitors for two of Indel Therapeutics’ microbial drug discovery programs through a number of biochemical and biological assays aimed at identifying the most potent and selective inhibitors for the development of potential antimicrobials for the treatment of multidrug-resistant pathogens. The participation of the intern in the Company’s drug discovery efforts will accelerate the Company’s milestones and increase its internal resources towards higher priority advanced projects.

Using machine learning to identify and contextualize residential rainwater downspouts and guide stormwater outreach programming

Municipalities are seeking ways to reduce the effects of uncontrolled rainwater and one of the primary contributors to the problem is residential downspouts. Downspout disconnections and redirections are low-cost ways to reduce the overall imperviousness of urban and suburban landscapes and ameliorate stormwater issues. This project will use machine learning to analyze Google street view data to find all visible downspouts and contextualize the areas where they drain as permeable or impermeable. The analysis is relevant to almost every municipality in Canada, because stormwater management is a responsibility of the municipal level of government under the Municipal Act of Ontario (2001) and other legislation elsewhere in Canada.
