Internet of things (IoT) systems require significant management related to external intrusions, internal threats, device failures, access management, and performance monitoring. In addition to network management issues, quality of service (QoS) must be maintained to predict changes and determine device and network performance. A good IoT system should be able to identify, track, and mitigate […]

This project is a study of the impacts of climate change on the economy of Alberta. The partner organization is a financial services company. They need information on climate risks to the largest and most climate-sensitive sectors, such as the oil and gas and agricultural industries. To assess these risks, the intern will collect information […]

Chemical-assisted enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has recently received a great deal of attention as a means of improving the efficiency of oil recovery processes. Since heavy oil production is technically challenging due to its high viscosity and high asphaltene content, therefore, new recovery techniques are often tested and applied in lab-scale. This study will contribute […]

This project explores methods of engagement and communication that bridge the science, public and policy gap in respect of the nuclear ecology: medicine, mining, and meeting climate change commitments (through nuclear energy small modular reactors (SMRs)). Saskatchewan, the home of uranium mining and where scientists helped develop the world’s first cobalt-60 nuclear medicine scanning machines, […]

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular because of their high efficiency and sustainability. However, EVs represent an intensive electric load. Their penetration to the power system poses significant challenges to power distribution system operation and control, such as voltage drop and transformer overload. This study will evaluate the impact of EV penetration on Saskatchewan’s […]

Recent research has confirmed the lethal ‘acute’ effects of the COVID-19 virus on the heart, but there is a growing concern and increasing number of those individuals infected by the virus to remain ‘chronic’ as long-haulers, i.e., Long COVID. There are estimates that as many as 40-60% of individuals infected continue to experience symptoms for […]

This project will produce a useful simulation of a 5G mmWave Cell site. This simulation will allow the Industrial Partner to evaluate and optimize the operation of a typical 5G Cell site. The simulation will model a 5G phased array antenna connected to a Base Station which will be able to create focused beam radiation […]

Since 1960, System engineering has been used as an approach for multidisciplinary and concurrent design of complex systems. It relies on a system-centered thinking to solve problems and different design process models have been used for system engineering such as V-model. Model-based System engineering (MBSE) was developed to replace documents with models. AIS is developing […]

AIS Inc. is at the forefront of developing practical mobile robots for various markets. Mobile robots are considered as very complex systems comprising of hundreds of interacting components in complex system architectures. Developing such complex robotic systems, particularly in large scale, requires a coherent collaboration and engagement on various specialized areas. All of the complex […]

Through this Mitacs Internship, the City of Regina, members of Regina’s performing arts community and researchers from the University of Regina are combining forces to cultivate a post-COVID climate for creative work in the city that gives them a viable livelihood and maximizes the benefits they offer to the community. The specific focus of this […]

This research project sets out to conduct a comprehensive literature review on Indigenous agriculture in Canada. We collect information about different sources of data that could be put in use to provide insight into Indigenous engagement in the Agriculture/Agri-food sector across the country. We will review the current Statistics Canada’s databases to explore data overlaying […]

Protein Industries Canada is a member based organization that serves not only the base of 240 current members, but also an extended ecosystem of contacts, connections and stakeholders. Much of our value proposition is deep knowledge of that membership base and the extended ecosystem. This knowledge drives research collaboration, capacity building activities, gap identification and […]
