Astrophysical simulations require significant computational resources. Most high-performance supercomputing clusters nowadays include a complement of graphics processing units (GPUs), as these have been shown to be highly efficient in terms of computation for the amount of energy consumed. Using only the CPUs (central processing unit) of a supercomputer leave the GPUs underutilized, wasting their potential. […]

This project will help Voronoi Health Analytics improve and refine their advanced artificial models used for automating interpreting and analyzing medical images. The intern will help with data collection processes that are required in order to train state of the art AI models for automating medical image analysis, resulting in more efficient and effective health […]

This project aims to answer the research question “can existing AI/ML models from other domains be applied to help address marine bioacoustics challenges?” One of the key challenges is that marine bioacoustics lags behind terrestrial bioacoustics in the level of research attention and technical advancement. Additionally, bioacoustics as a field has been slower in leveraging […]

Outport Reviews develops an affordable review management platform for Canadian SMBs that filters negative feedback before public posting. This project will validate market fit, optimize acquisition channels, and build strategic partnerships to strengthen Canadian businesses’ digital presence and competitiveness.

The proposed project focuses on helping Storelx, a peer-to-peer storage marketplace, grow its user base and improve its online platform. The intern will work on attracting new users through digital marketing, making the website easier to use, and launching a referral program to encourage more people to join. By testing different marketing strategies and collecting […]

This project focuses on developing an AI-powered remote energy assessment platform that makes home energy audits more accessible, affordable, and efficient. By leveraging satellite imagery, smart meter data, and AI-driven models, the platform will provide homeowners with personalized energy efficiency recommendations and automatic rebate matching. The partner organization, Springboard Atlantic Inc., will benefit by supporting […]

The Town of Fogo Island (TOFI) is a municipality formed in 2011 after the amalgamation of 11 small communities across an outport island on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland, which provides a unique set of challenges and special opportunities. Fogo Island’s economic development plan is to assess the local value-chains, labour market and industry ecosystem, […]

The goal of this research project is to explore the current definition of obesity along with the association of body fat distribution and biochemical markers with serious health conditions. Our investigation will employ the utilization of the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (the current gold standard to measure body fat percentage, subcutaneous body fat and visceral body […]

Connections for Seniors (CFS) is a nonprofit organization in Newfoundland and Labrador dedicated to helping seniors maintain dignity, independence, and quality of life through essential services like housing, transportation, and meal programs. To meet growing demand, CFS is expanding its social enterprise efforts with the goal of generating more revenue for its programs. This project […]

This research aims to explore the role that Indigenous cultural centers could play in Mealy Mountain National Park Reserve in preserving Indigenous culture and promoting Indigenous tourism. Key objectives include understanding lessons from successful Indigenous cultural centers, determining how these lessons apply to the NunatuKavut community, and developing strategies to integrate cultural preservation into tourism […]

The proposed research project aims to address the significant natural hazard of large-scale landslides in sensitive clays, which can cause substantial economic loss, environmental disaster, infrastructure damage, and fatalities. The partner organization, WSP, specializes in geotechnical engineering services, including geohazard assessment from landslides and slope failure. This project will explore the applicability of advanced large-deformation […]

For this application, Solace has developed a hybrid inverter topology which incorporates a half-bridge synchronous buck converter into the inverter. The buck converter is a pain point in the topology — to limit the size of magnetic components, it is desirable to operate the buck at relatively high frequency (>300 kHz). However, switching loss in […]
