The manipulation of light has been a key driving factor in human progress since the beginning of our species. Each industrial advance in the world has successively become more and more dependent on the manipulation of light and concomitant advances in our understanding of related phenomena: advances and discoveries in electricity, electromagnetic technology, wireless communications, […]

Central mountain populations of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have been in decline due to logging, mining, and gas development within their range and are designated as Threatened under Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. This project will develop a caribou habitat restoration model (CHRM) for the Quintette Mine located in British Columbia. […]

The objective of the proposed project is to develop economical and sustainable technologies which contribute to the energy needs of the mining industry. The Tesla turbine is simple in construction, compact and tolerant to the working fluid composition. These advantages make it a potential ideal solution for use in energy recovery from industrial sites or […]

The world has many ageing bridge structures which are being used well beyond their design service life time. It is of essential interest for the governments and public to insure safety and sustainability of bridges. One of the most advanced techniques used to investigate the conditions of bridges is the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The […]

La recherche vise à formuler un cadre d’analyse et d’intervention destiné à soutenir le développement du domaine agricole dans les régions de l’Est-du-Québec. Cette contribution consistera 1) à l’identification des principales caractéristiques socioéconomiques de ces régions, 2) à l’analyse des difficultés rencontrées par les acteurs locaux impliqués dans le développement du secteur agroalimentaire, 3) à […]

Skin-tone detection has received considerable attention in recent years and applied in wide range of image processing and computer vision applications. The objective of this research project is to develop a real-time skin-tone detection solution optimized for consumer devices, allows for a deliverance of high detection performance at minimal computational costs. The proposed solution will […]

Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are thin layers of organic chemicals with that emit light. As a novel form of technology, OLEDs can be used to manufacture flexible and ultrathin visual screens for mobile phones and televisions. They are extremely efficient; they produce very bright lights while producing very little heat. Designing better and cheaper […]

This research project deals with the development of the next generation of a set of chemicals on an industrial scale that form a catalyst in conjunction with a metal. The new catalysts are intended to be employed by Digital Specialty Chemicals’ customer in the manufacture of plasticizers, paints, and detergents. The intern will focus on […]

The intern and organizational partner are looking for unique and interesting ways of using mobile devices to help authenticate users and methods of cooperation between a mobile device and another device, a PC for example. The intern will research and implement different authentication techniques on mobile devices. Additionally, it is prudent to study and develop […]

Newfoundland oil and gas industry needs unique engineering solutions for offshore structures and operations because of harsh environment. Drifting icebergs, if collide with an offshore structure, may cause serious damage leading to economic losses, ecological problems and loss of human lives. To protect the structure, icebergs can be towed away; however, it is a complicated […]

ATB Financial is a large Alberta based full service financial institution. The Card Services department was formed 5 years ago and is growing rapidly. The Card Strategy team within Card Services is developing models and processes to manage marketing campaigns, credit risk management, collections and fraud effectively. The intern will support the team by providing […]
