The intern will contribute to data analysis for briefs and reports published on the MHRC website and shared with key stakeholders and will prepare publications to be submitted to peer-reviewed journals. MHRC benefits from this partnership by increasing internal data analysis capacity to its polling efforts, allowing a deeper, more timely and thorough analysis of […]

Current communication means such as; Spreadsheet, the internet and Emails are not good enough when a change happens in a Billion $ oil and gas project where hundreds of technicians, engineers, managers, contractors from various disciplines in different locations are involved. The solution is an automated workflow process. Simply put, workflow is the step-by-step procedure […]

AltaML is an innovative company capitalizing on a major technological trend: artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, enabled by big data, are driving a fourth industrial revolution. AI will transform all industries, but traditional industries face challenges in implementing AI. AltaML has a unique business model to overcome barriers to adoption of AI solutions by industry, which […]

The objective of the SILO research project is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in STEM education by trialing the various STEM units in classrooms. A sub-objective of the SILO research project is to critique and refine the units according to the principles of Provisional Multimodal Research (PMR) in the context of creating […]

Spero Analytics is an IoT startup which deploys wireless environmental monitoring systems for the waste management and oil and gas industries. The core of our technology is a proprietary mesh network which can transmit data from sensors without the need for cellular infrastructure, using little energy, and requiring minimal maintenance. This project will focus on […]

The objective of this research is to develop novel polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites with enhanced performance attributes intended for exterior cladding in the construction industry. The partner, Cornerstone Building Brands Canada Inc., through this work is continuing their relentless pursuit to align with future construction demands, thereby enhancing the value of polymeric siding in the […]

Transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide, can be thinned down from bulk crystals into few or single atomic layers that exhibit unique optoelectronic properties due to quantum confinement. The proposed work aims to exfoliate these materials into single to few layers using a new electrochemical exfoliation technique and to study their optoelectronic properties when […]

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can be charged and discharged much faster than batteries while also being more reliable and exhibiting nearly indefinite cycle-life. Graphene-based materials which are a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibit the highest surface area of any material and have the potential to form the ideal supercapacitor electrodes, if we […]

Graphene and related materials remain the most promising electrode materials and additives for use in energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors due to the potentially high surface area, high aspect ratio and electrical conductivity. Unfortunately, it remains challenging to achieve single layers of graphene using scalable methods of production. The proposed work aims […]

The energy demand of the residential sector in Canada represents 12% of the total energy use. About 64% of such demand is assigned to space heating requirements. Adoption of energy-efficient systems is usually driven by long-term savings. Many passive energy reduction measures haven’t been implemented due to the decreasing credibility of simulation software which lacks […]

This project aims to edit and publish a work authored by Elizabeth English entitled Arkhitektura and Mnimosti (the Imaginary) : The Origins of Soviet Avant-Garde Rationalist Architecture in the Russian Mystical-Philosophical and Mathematical Intellectual Tradition. . The project will study a series of architects and support understanding of the revolutionary physical, intellectual, and cultural Russian […]

The Hart Group, a privately-held enterprise headquartered in Smithville, Ontario, produces specialty chemicals for concrete and pavement applications. Our project aims to support the development of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for several of the Hart Group’s products. EPDs are a form of environmental disclosure, or “eco-labeling,” used for marketing purposes, that are becoming increasingly important […]
