This project supports relationship development with First Nations communities in British Columbia to facilitate collaboration on a larger flood-risk reduction project, which focuses on integrating Western expertise in architecture, engineering and social science with Indigenous Traditional Knowledge to create a new, collaborative approach for flood risk reduction in Indigenous communities in Canada. Relationship building prior […]

This project seeks to play a role in making fusion energy a reality, a big step in energy decarbonization. The project is in collaboration with General Fusion, based in British Columbia, where a fusion reactor is being designed, based on a spinning cylinder of liquid lithium which is mechanically collapsed around a plasma to produce […]

The proposed research aims to find the optimal application rates of liquid chemicals which are applied to a road surface before and during a snow storm. These chemicals are used to accelerate the melting of snow and ice. The effects of various factors such as traffic, pavement temperature and other environmental factors on the performance […]

This project is a collaboration between Korea’s Soongsil University NDT Lab and Canada’s Waterloo University Computer Vision for Smart Structure Lab (CViSS), aiming to promote new research at each institute and build smart construction and infrastructure monitoring. NDT Lab focuses on developing non-destructive engineering technologies for concrete internal crack width, reinforcing bar diameter and internal […]

In this project, we will be investigating a potential therapeutic target for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is a type of blood cancer and the five year survival rate is less than 30%. We will be studying a receptor called OR2AT4, which has been found in the white blood cells of AML patients. This receptor […]

Thermal fatigue is a problem that can happen when making metal products using a certain tool. The tool gets extremely hot when the metal is poured in, and then it cools down quickly when the metal hardens. This can happen over and over again, and it can make the tool break or not work as […]

Finliti is planning to use AI to improve their business operations. Some areas they are looking into involve using AI to sort clients into the most appropriate persona which will reflect their investing preferences, and assessing the future performance of a proposed portfolio while accounting for a client’s persona and financial goals. AI is intended […]

The intern will be participating in an interdisciplinary project to investigate how recent advances in machine learning, generative AI, and natural language processing (NLP) could be leveraged to improve education outcomes, both within the partner organization’s operations and in the broader Canadian education system. Through partnership with the partner organization (Cansbridge Fellowship) and the academic […]

Analog and digitally synthesized film grain is widely seen in pristine visual content as part of the creative intent of content producers. However, in streaming media applications such as online video-on-demand and live video broadcasting, grain demands excessive amounts of bandwidth to transmit the video streams from the server to the consumer devices while maintaining […]

The intern within this position will work with Indigenous Clean Energy (ICE) to help co-design resources for Indigenous governments, such as research protocols, that will identify Indigenous Nations strategies for offshore wind development approaches to Indigenous Energy Justice to benefit diverse Indigenous seascapes. Additionally, this position will be responsible for coordinating and executing meetings and […]

This research project is a collaborative effort between the University of Waterloo and Oceana Canada and is guided by several core objectives: 1) To define, compile, and assess best practices (BPs) that are commonly used for reducing plastic production in selected international jurisdictions; 2) Explore and examine the mechanisms, barriers, policies, policy instruments, etc. that […]

This research project aims to review the different epidemiological modelling approaches used to predict the spread of COVID-19. The project will conduct a comprehensive search of literature and relevant sources, evaluate the quality of the identified studies, extract relevant data, and synthesize the data to provide a narrative summary of the effectiveness of different modelling […]
