In recent years, clean and renewable energy sources are urgently needed to partially or completely replace the fossil fuels (e.g., natural gas, petroleum, and coal). Bio-oil derived from fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass usually contains a high oxygen content (30-50%), leading to a relatively low heating value, high viscosity and poor stability. […]

Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and micropollutants are primary environmental stressors that pollute lakes, drinking water wells, and streams. They originate from human activities and come through point and non-point sources. In the case of point sources, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must remove these stressors before discharge into water bodies. Driven by population increase and climate change, […]

There is a large interest in the more accurate snow loss estimates for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems as large-scale deployments move into northern latitudes. There have been many studies on different types of PV systems and different types of modules. Preliminary results show bifacial modules may clear snow faster than monofacial PV. This study will […]

Remote sensing of Earth using hyperspectral imaging satellites has become an area of key interest for civilian end-use applications in areas like agriculture, forestry management, flood risk assessment, minerology, and environmental monitoring. The aim of this project is to research and develop a hyperspectral camera payload for a CubeSat constellation. The success of this project […]

The Data Science/Analytics team at Voices is looking for a Data Analyst Intern to join the team and support analytics initiatives from developing Tableau reports to provide an in-depth/holistic understand of the platform, leveraging our datasets to provide insights/recommendations to decision makers, and producing predictive models on KPIs (i.e. retention, hire rate) to surface prescriptions/improvement […]

A nuclear reactor to a nuclear power plant is the same as the heart to a living human. Safe operation of the plant is directly related to the health of the reactor. Just as human heart where blood circulates through to deliver oxygen to the other parts of the body, coolant passes through the reactor […]

The coasts of Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) are used extensively by migratory songbirds (including species at risk) for both breeding and migratory fueling. We will study how adult and juvenile songbirds use and move among islands and the mainland during the post-breeding period when juveniles are still developing and adults moult flight and body feathers. […]

To reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, significant efforts have been made to increase the efficiency of gas turbines. Likewise, the use of hydrogen is suggested to replace hydro-carbon-based fuels. To achieve these goals, it is mandatory to use advanced manufacturing techniques to produce the key components of turbines. Laser power bed fusion additive manufacturing […]

House crickets are a promising sustainable source of protein for human food and animal feed in a changing world. A current focus is to scale up and automate cricket production, and to optimise production for specific outcomes (e.g. maximise biomass production or protein content). Insect growth rate, nutrient content and survival are all dependent on […]

The objectives of this project includes: 1. Determine the level of customer satisfaction of using different channels for their banking services and what is the factor(s) impacting their experience positively and negatively. 2. Determine the composition of various transaction types and the differentiator(s) behind the behavioral result. 3. Determine the types of devices customers used […]

InvestorCOM is well known in Canada and are capitalizing on the opportunity to expand into the US market. My project will assist InvestorCOM in expanding their compliance solutions into the US market by creating market awareness of InvestorCOM through social media channels, analyzing data to help inform and adjust the marketing strategy, creating marketing materials […]

As the company is actively looking for scaling opportunities, the business data quality assessment & monitoring project aims to unlock the unrealized value of data from internal systems such as CRM and Inventory Proprietary Inventory System to discover high-impact insights for internal stakeholders. The data project is looking to align data extracted from such systems […]
