The objective of this strategic project is to define investor and customer value propositions of a new AI-powered offer and a business model for a commercial environment disrupted by COVID-19. The new offer integrates signals from plants’ photos and thermal images with a controller that regulates the flow of food and water administered to the […]

The internship will be impactful because it will launch an online sales program for environmentally friendly products that will generate additional revenue and marketing insights.

The agglomeration of nanoparticles under flame conditions is numerically simulated. The focus is placed on the interaction forces between particles. These forces are suspected to play an important role on the agglomeration rate, agglomerate’s geometry, and particle size distribution. This is particularly important in the context of aggregates (chemically bound nanoparticles) or agglomerates (physically bound […]

Aging adults want to age in place in their homes to remain in their community of friends, family and activities. This independence for many depends on the support of family care givers such as spouses or adult children that may live separately or work outside the home. The use of ambient sensors in the home […]

The project examines internet fraud as a practice engaged in by individuals who are economically disadvantaged, are unable to find regular jobs, and are not able to migrate to developed countries where work might be found, often because of border restrictions that exclude them. It proposes to study how literary writers have been thinking about […]

The proposed research project focuses on developing a solution to penetrate the market with technological innovation. This would require research in marketing segments, understanding the TAM and SAM, and subsequently developing a strategy to quantify the targets. In addition to that, the project also aims in enhancing the management skills of the intern and at […]

The student is currently performing a study in Canada investigating the usability of thermostat interfaces with a focus on the differences between old and new devices. Working abroad enables the comparison of Canadian findings with German buildings/climate/interfaces. The student will work with the Fraunhofer Institute to develop state of the art approaches for the use […]

Structural integrity assessments play a key role in ensuring the safe service of oil/gas pipelines. In recent years, significant developments in pipeline strain-based design have taken place to account for the large plasticity involved in the installation and operation of pipelines. However, current methodologies cannot properly address the effects of anisotropic material properties and weldments […]

Low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations require high levels of security and resilience to provide high quality, reliable and trustworthy global connectivity services to customers. For these systems to develop customer trust and find widespread use, developers must demonstrate compliance to a variety of security standards, policies, and regulations. However, because these systems are very large […]

The proposed research project focusses towards developing and implementing a method to incorporate a company-specific safety program by incorporating the government-specified guidelines and working through the parameters of the program. The Government of Canada has recently released an enormous amount of data in lines with the safety measures, which needs to be evaluated and extensively […]

During COVID-19 Connected Canadians has expanded its programs to serve seniors in a variety of different ways, including helping to reduce isolation and loneliness amongst the senior population. Research will be done to analyze any operational inefficiencies and weaknesses that may be present and create a strategy to best address them. Connected Canadians is growing […]

The goal of the project is to use the data collected by Ericsson field tests to gain a better understanding of the wireless medium through which the signal travels. Such information will include physical parameters, and the direction for which the users’ signals arriver, their locations and velocities. The study will enable Ericsson to build […]
