Soyez au coeur de l’expérience muséale! L’Application ÉducArt en VR invite l’usager à découvrir de manière innovante toute une série d’objets et d’oeuvres d’art de collection issus du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, et à participer, en collaboration avec le musée, à la construction de cette exposition virtuelle. Cette “réappropriation patrimoniale” et gamification de la […]

This Mitacs project will support the Alberta Mentoring Partnership in building evaluation capacity across the province of Alberta for their affiliated organizations. The Mitacs intern will engage AMP decision makers in the development of the project, the creation and delivery of two online evaluation capacity workshops for mentoring organizations, the development and delivery of a […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two master’s students who would help advance the methods for modelling energy-climate policies, a field in which EMRG in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research units in the country and in which Navius Research […]

The proposed research will allow any device to contribute its computing capabilities to the general distributed computer. Combined, these devices become a super-computer — providing resources for researchers and scientists in their quest for discovery. This research focuses on the finely calibrated aspects of scheduling slices of computing on this computing network. The intern will […]

The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, which started in Dec. 2019, has so far not been contained due to unpreparedness and unsuccessful development of antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2. In response to this pandemic, we propose strategies for the development of novel antiviral agents against a number of known viral targets using in-silico modeling and laboratory testing to rapidly […]

Checkingin is a publicly available app through which users report their current emotion, energy level, and the context descriptive of this state. The present project seeks to analyze if such self-initiated technology is capable of detecting emotional shifts in well-being under times of great stress, as on-going in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, a comparison […]

Deep mechanized mines can be harsh work environments. In addition to the dust and potential noxious gases, workers are frequently exposed to high heat and high humidity conditions for extended periods of time. Studies suggest that an individual’s ability to maintain a safe body temperature decreases with age, thereby increasing the risk of heat-related injury. […]

totaliQ has developed an expertise management platform that helps organisations save significant time and money by providing them with maximum visibility into the individual expertise that each employee within the organization has and where that employee is located. safetyiQ is a free, light version of this system that will allow employees, managers and occupational health […]

Depression is a common and often devastating illness that contributes to suffering for patients and families and is also the number one cause of disability globally. Many patients do not respond to their first trial of treatment, and managing depression according to best practices can be difficult for clinicians. Using the power of machine learning, […]

With schools closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many education outreach companies that offer in-class summer camps are having to pivot to virtual classes to adjust to the new normal. Their main challenge is how and where to spend their marketing budget efficiently to attract new students. They traditionally advertise locally such as in schools […]

Rapid prototyping, or 3D printing, has inspired the imagination of the general public, from simple build-it-yourself “hobby” machines using polymer-based binder material with inkjet functionality, to portable printers that can fashion components in zero gravity on the International Space Station. The functionality is user-friendly, in that printed material is dropped onto a substrate in viscous […]

Recent studies have highlighted the need to investigate potential for acid generation and metal(loid)s release froth treatment tailings generated at oil sands mining operations. In addition to residual hydrocarbons, froth treatment tailings contain minerals that make them geochemically distinct from sulfide-bearing tailings generated at metal-mining operations. The proposed research will integrate field studies, laboratory experiments, […]
