This project aims to tackle the challenge of finding different ways Viva could optimize its existing work processes to generate maximum results, as well as innovating in the marketing domain. This requires the intern to observe technical insights such as user interaction and behaviour, as well as traffic across various virtual platforms. This understanding would […]

To address the global concerns regarding climate changes and increase of earth temperature, carbon dioxide emission has to be removed/reduced. A major source of Co2 emission is transportation vehicles, which account for close to 30% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. An active method to reduce this significant contribution to global warming is electrification of transportation […]

Toxicity testing of ophthalmic products is an important step in developing new eye products. Microfluidic devices, such as lab-on-a-chip, are an effective way to evaluate the toxicity of new products prior to animal testing. However, the current methods to create these microfluidic chips are too time-consuming and expensive for high-throughput screening. The objective of this […]

The intern will help guide technology start up MateMachine with regards to their content strategy. This strategy will focus on the benefits of MateMachine to marginalized folks including LGTBQ+ and disabled persons. This technology will provide new ways for individuals to connect and share their feelings with one another.

The proposed research project aims at technology for environmentally benign recycling of nickel. The process entails conversion of nickel found in the “black mass” from recycled Ni-based batteries into nickel carbonyl, Ni(CO)4, by reaction with CO at modest temperatures around 50-120°C (pressuredependent). Only nickel carbonyl is volatile under these conditions and is easily separated from […]

This project’s goal is to build an algorithm that is able to understand and summarize content and sentiment from multiple sources based on a given topic or opinion. This algorithm would then be adapted into TrafficSoda’s existing infrastructure allowing them to maintain and grow a competitive advantage in our marketplace. It would also save the […]

Advanced civil engineering research, design and simulation related to a microgeneration wind turbine guyed wire tilt tower system suitable to be install anywhere in Canada.

Infrasonic signatures are long wave acoustic signals in the under 20Hz range (below human hearing). The partner organization has been experimenting with infrasonic sensors to achieve 2 key outcomes: a) detection clear air turbulence to benefit commercial air travel and b) detection of ‘dark vessel’ marine traffic, i.e., illegal fishing. The ability to detect clear […]

MHRC is conducting ongoing polling of Canadians to assess the effect of COVID-19 on mental health. We require additional support to expand our capacity to analyze the datasets we are creating. Our poll is extensive including a number of markers of mental health along with an array of demographic controls and is rolled out every […]

The proposed research will develop cost-effective substrates for application in Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. The substrates will be made using self-assembly methods for nanomaterials in aqueous medium and a final step of simple filtration. The nanoscale material will provide high sensitivity as a SERS substrate for detection of specific chemicals and microbes. The developed SERS […]

Modern video games are composed of different types of artifacts, such as images, sounds, and software code. All these artifacts are developed at the same time by different teams. While the independent creation and modification of each artifact allows different teams to make changes without blocking each other from making progress, how artifacts are combined […]

Improving and optimizing a full scale prototype which is being used to develop electric vehicle control software
