BlueNode is a SaaS company focused on the sanitation and analysis of marine shipping data. The research project is focused on increasing the precision and accuracy of shipped goods processed through Canadian ports. Should the research prove the be successful, the technical methods used with be directly incorporated into the BlueNode system.

In this proposed internship project, a new methodology towards the use of game metrical data to rate player’s behavior and motivate behavioural change will be explored. Together with the Ayogo Games (a game development company which takes special interest in the development of serious and health games, see http://ayogo.com/), a concept for an adaptable game […]

Lead scoring is essential for lead management. The result of lead scoring is a list consists of leads with scores assigned indicating how likely each lead can be converted into the next stage of sales process. The Lamb or Spam and the Rule-Based are the two lead scoring methods that have been discussed in the […]

The main objectives of this one-year study are to enhance systems in data management and integration in three ways: 1) create secure networks that can support BYOD; 2) create a data pipeline system for ETL; and 3) integrate ML content generation into a content management system. An Agile methodology will be used to plan and […]

Mitigating climate change will need to decrease the demand on fossil fuels and developing low carbon fuels. Co-processing biogenic feedstocks in existing oil refineries could provide significant amount of low carbon fuels as well as displacing the demand on fossil fuels. The proposed research work with an oil refinery who is commercialising co-processing oleochemical feedstocks […]

Rare Earth Elements (REE) are a group of 17 elements in the periodic table including 15 lanthanides and two transition metals: Scandium and Yttrium. These elements are used in a wide variety of products including light-emitting diodes, wind turbines, fiber optics, lasers, batteries, guidance systems, and superconductors. Due to supply restrictions, the elements are classified […]

This research project will examine the key factors contributing to the financing success of Canadian rare earth producers from both private and public markets, including Initial Public Offerings on Toronto Stock Exchange and Mergers and Acquisitions transactions. The results from the research will be used to provide an analysis tool for Byron Capital Markets investment […]

Down hole tools in the oil and gas (O&G) industry has long been used to increase the oil recovery and limit unwanted products like water, sand and steam. RGL is a world leader on both Sand control and Flow control products, with a focus on technology driven solutions. Various sand screens, slotted liner designs, flow […]

The proposed project will tackle the following inter-related research topics regarding localization, monitoring, and motion coordination of autonomous indoor service robots: (1) adaptive coverage-planning of arbitrary and uncertain non-convex indoor regions, (2) accurate and robust indoor localization of service robots using vision-based technologies, (3) deep learning based depth estimation and high-precision path-tracking control of service […]

Les végétaux demeurent de nos jours une source incontournable de molécules bioactives pour le développement d’agents thérapeutiques novateurs. Par contre, l’étude et l’utilisation des molécules d’origine végétale sont souvent limitées par leur manque de solubilité dans l’eau et leur faible biodisponibilité. Pour surmonter ces limitations, l’ajout de groupements polaires sur les molécules appelé dérivatisation est […]

The intern will research and develop an Energy Harvesting Device (EHD) prototype. This device will be used to power a Cargo Security Device (CSD) as well as charge the battery for the CSD. The reason for the battery is that the proposed EHD will not produce energy at all times but the CSD needs to […]

Healthcare infrastructure plays a key role in the recovery of communities in a post-disaster scenario. In seismically active regions, such as western Canada, an understanding of the seismic performance of hospitals is essential to inform emergency management and effectively mitigate earthquake risk. This research project aims to develop new methodological approaches to integrate seismic risk […]
