While the Refresh Wellness App (RWA) is in the research and development phase, Refresh has begun to build a marketing strategy that will aid in the launch and distribution of the app to ensure a positive impact on society as a whole. While the RWA will eventually be available to the public, Refresh plans to […]

Research is currently underway to develop evidence-based resources that will populate the resource section. In the meantime, a robust infrastructure must be established within the app to adequately support an extensive selection of resources for a variety of users and environments. Because not all of the resources will be relevant to all users, a dynamic […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are key technologies in the development of a new recommendation framework that is able to identify the association between users and items with greater accuracy. This link prediction algorithm can be used in economics, marketing, networking, and social media. It would decrease the rate of mispredictions and would […]

The agronomy intern will be an important member of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision AI now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The intern will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying his/her expertise to more quickly identify crop and weed plants in the images we have collected. […]

The grain sector is a key driver of Canada’s economic growth, with more than 20 million tons of wheat exports and over $20 billion in export sales annually. Many activities required for wheat production rely on laborious manual observation, such as post-harvest assessment of wheat kernels and wheat head detection. These manual, subjective tasks can […]

This project will bring together a motivated intern, an experienced researcher, and a nationally-ranked coach to solve a unique problem in the world of health and fitness. High-intensity functional training is a highly popular method of training, but is one that needs research on the physical and mental aspects to best design individualized training programs. […]

Ignite athletics is a strength and conditioning company that works with thousands of athletes every year. Ignite has developed new technology to improve the tracking and reliability of strength metrics, while simultaneously improving the cost, portability, and credibility. The goal of the project is to bring together Engineers, Sport Scientists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches […]

The proposed research focuses on developing biochar-plastic composite materials to support the product development goals of the industry partners. In this study, the intern will be accessing the effect of biochar properties and extrusion conditions on the properties of biochar-plastic composite materials and identify an optimum operating condition and formulation that results in higher mechanical […]

Animal experiments have made significant contributions to medical advances. However, there is increasing awareness in the scientific community that animal studies are not always carried out with utmost efficiency. When study design is suboptimal and/or errors are made, there is a risk that incorrect conclusions are drawn, and that time, money, and animal lives are […]

TuniStrong is developing commercial system for the utilization of tunicates (an invasive species) to produce cellulose nanocrystals. The cellulose nanocrystals from tunicates have higher aspect ratio as compared to plant-based cellulose nanocrystals and provides higher reinforcement when used as a filler in composites. The proposed project focuses on understanding the effect of operating conditions of […]

Cubresa is building the BrainPET, the world’s first commercial brain-dedicated positron emission tomography (PET) insert for a magnetic resonance imager (MRI). The BrainPET will give doctors and scientists a powerful tool to visualize the human brain with near-unparalleled resolution and sensitivity, providing a clear picture of the interconnectedness of structure/function in this complex organ. This […]

Geosynthetics are rolls of man-made products that are used in roads and earthworks. These are often used to improve drainage and work very well in many instances. In some cases such as silt soils or silt-sized mine tailings, geosynthetic drainage doesn’t work well because of the naturally hydrophobic nature of the synthetic fibres. This project […]
