Teck Metals Ltd. operates one of the world’s largest integrated lead-zinc smelting operations based in Trail, British Columbia. An important part of Teck’s normal day-to-day operations is to carefully track and report on any pollutants generated on site that are released into the environment. The purpose of this internship is to assist their Company in […]

In mathematics, a group is a set (an accumulation of items) together with a certain operation. For example: the integers with addition, the symmetries of an equilateral triangle. Being one of the simplest algebraic structures, groups are ubiquitous in mathematics and have applications in other disciplines. Informally, a group is called profinite if it can […]

As financial networks grow limiting the spread of illicit funds becomes an increasingly important aspect of security. We model this spread within a network-like structure called a graph and examine how best to defend against the spread of these illicit funds. This problem has been examined in the past and we further that knowledge by […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Due to advanced modern technology for continuously measuring and recording data at multiple discrete locations and times, functional data are ubiquitous such as weather data and stock market data. Such kind of data usually has smoothness characteristics in the form of functions with complex structures and can be analyzed through many different techniques developed in […]

Increased stress, anxiety, and educational disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to the reality that many students are entering university-level Calculus with insufficient mathematical preparation and negative attitudes towards learning math. Researchers have also shown that students from traditionally underrepresented groups are at a particularly high-risk of STEM attrition related to these factors. […]

The power system transfers power from electricity producers to consumers in real time. The demand, generation, and system characteristics dictate how power flows across different transmission lines. Sometimes, the power flow can exceed the capacity of the transmission lines. This would be especially true if a new generator connects at a location within insufficient transmission […]

The candidate will be working with Modellicity to participating in the development and bringing-to-market of the company’s proprietary end-to-end AI model building platform that will enable users to quickly build, validate, and deploy AI models.

The grain sector is a key driver of Canada’s economic growth, with more than 20 million tons of wheat exports and over $20 billion in export sales annually. Many activities required for wheat production rely on laborious manual observation, such as post-harvest assessment of wheat kernels and wheat head detection. These manual, subjective tasks can […]

Animal experiments have made significant contributions to medical advances. However, there is increasing awareness in the scientific community that animal studies are not always carried out with utmost efficiency. When study design is suboptimal and/or errors are made, there is a risk that incorrect conclusions are drawn, and that time, money, and animal lives are […]

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability. One area of injury prevention research is to use geographic information systems to identify at-risk neighbourhoods for targeted intervention. However, few studies have been conducted to investigate the geographical distribution of TBI in Canada. The proposed project is based on the linked trauma […]
