The A100 is dedicated to supporting the technology and innovation ecosystem in Alberta. By measuring the growth of our industry and benchmarking our progress against other jurisdictions we will be able to use a fact base to assist the way we advocate for tech and innovation companies in Alberta. We intend to measure the impact […]

The increasing consumption of pharmaceutical to combat wide variety of diseases have caused pharmaceuticals as an emerging pollutant (EP) in water bodies and also in wastewater samples. The non-biodegradable nature of pharmaceuticals results their ineffective removal in biological systems including biological wastewater treatment units (BWTU). To combat the problem of secondary effluent from BWTU containing […]

Our ability to model the air-sea exchange of CO2 with confidence in the Polar Oceans, a key component of global climate systems, is currently limited due to critical gaps in our understanding of the relationship and interactions between the air, sea, atmosphere and ice. This includes ice-driven CO2 fluxes during Spring melt season. Eddy covariance […]

An exploration of undergraduate Black students’ experience of higher education at the Univerisity of Calgary. In order to explore the experiences of Black students who specifically study English or Science at the univeristy, we intend to recruit at least five undergraduate students from each subject, and conduct a group semi-structured interview with each group about […]

We lost all of our paper documentation in the floods and are now setting up an electronic system to prevent future loss and to enable staff to work remotely and efficiently with new processes. We will need someone to look at how our processes were /are setup and find new ways for us to work […]

When a company has excess power generation at its disposal, a natural course of action will be to seek to market that power. However, power markets are notoriously volatile, and this makes the cash flows that result from selling the power unpredictable and hard to plan for. The aim of this project is to help […]

The proposed research will involve studying the carbon footprint (i.e. the carbon emissions) involved in the preparation of magnesium oxychloride (MOC) cement materials. MOC cement has been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditionally used Portland cement (PC), however many discrepancies arise as there is no work directly comparing their carbon footprints. In […]

Lipids are biological molecules that have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic headgroups. Along with proteins, lipids constitute the complex fluid mixture of biological cell membranes. There are hundreds of types of lipids in cell membranes, each with a different combination of tail and headgroup, and many serving important biological functions. The lateral organization of lipids – […]

We need to analyze how to maintain the value propositions since campus life is not active and events are mainly online. This would entail looking at what users want, use currently, and are missing. Further, we need to be ready for the situation to get better and have a plan for spreading to other campuses. […]

We continue to build our capacity but at a slower rate to ensure that we survive the slowdown that the pandemic has created. We have focused on internal projects but are now returning to client projects as the market picks up. The Intern will research markets to understand evolving customer needs, market size, trends, and […]

In the era of COVID 19, businesses survive as long as they reinvent themselves, and change their operating model considering new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud, and Blockchain. Synanos is the first North American startup converting petroleum waste to advanced hydrocarbons. With this internship opportunity, we will expand our industry research and […]
