Gazifère is focussed on large scale implementation of RNG as fuel as it owns and operates a 1?000 km gas system. It is true that utilization of a waste such as pulp and paper mill sludge is a beneficial approach for the environment as it helps in waste management and related emission to air, water, […]

The notion of ‘self-regulation’ in the development of children and young people and the health of adults has taken on considerable importance, especially in education, as the science investigating this feature has made significant advances over the last decade. One nationwide initiative, the Canadian Self-Regulation Initiative (CSRI), has been working since 2012 to support educators’ […]

This internship, in collaboration with the Public Actions Group of ICESI University (GAPI), focuses on the critical study of climate change’s impact on human migration and human rights. Our investigation will cover seven key topics: natural phenomena driving human mobility, the effects of climate-induced migration on human rights, the vulnerabilities of migrating groups, livelihood losses […]

Imagine shoes with built-in sensors that can track how your feet move! This internship project is about developing insoles with special air pockets that sense pressure. These insoles would be 3D-printed for a perfect fit and could be worn during regular human movement. By comparing this data with existing methods like pressure plates, we’ll see […]

This research project aims to help the Bank of Canada understand how people in Canada are using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular, but their prices often have large fluctuations, which can make them risky to use. By studying survey data, the project will explore how Canadians include cryptocurrencies in their investments and […]

Our research leverages large language models (LLMs) to analyze text data from Reddit and StockTwits, exploring differences in investing styles between Republican and Democrat retail investors. Building on Cookson et al. (2020), we will use advanced LLM techniques to classify political affiliations based on language patterns and analyze retail investor sentiment from 2010 onwards. Cookson […]

Numerous barriers exist to participating in sports, and a study by the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute has shown that 12% of respondents cited not having anyone to participate with as an obstacle. (Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, 2013). With this project, we aim to leverage algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) to better […]

GPS – the Global Positioning System and similar positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems, referred to as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), have dramatically improved productivity and safety in our daily lives. Calian GNSS Ltd. has developed a range of novel, low-cost GNSS antennas with advanced technologies. Further improvements are possible to increase antenna performance […]

Our research project focuses on monitoring crops using satellite images. To address the problem, we leverage a fast-growing field of graph signal processing (GSP), which expands upon traditional signal processing techniques such as Fourier transform and wavelets to accommodate the graph domain. Specifically, we propose to unroll a designed graph-based algorithm into an interpretable feed-forward […]

Vaccination is an important preventive measure against influenza infection during both seasonal epidemics and pandemic outbreaks. This research aims to evaluate the health benefits and costs associated with a new vaccine developed by Sanofi for seasonal influenza. This vaccine provides better efficacy and higher protection for individuals over 65 years of age. The vaccine is […]

The project I will be working on involves colouring the faces or facets of regular symmetric polytopes (generalizations of polygons and polyhedrons) and how colourings change under automorphism transformations like reflections and rotations. I intend to develop as comprehensive an understand as possible of these colourings

Soil and groundwater pollution with harmful petroleum contaminants such as BTEX is a global concern. BTEX has carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, therefore, it is essential to remove such contaminants for a healthy ecosystem. Microorganism-mediated bioremediation is an extremely promising technique that is cost-effective, efficient, and safe for the environment. However, limited biological knowledge about the […]
