This research project will explore how advanced artificial intelligence technology, specifically large language models (LLMs), can improve the Mental Health Assessment Tool (MHAT) developed by Harrison Healthcare. MHAT is a secure online tool designed to help primary care doctors identify and diagnose mental health conditions based on structured questionnaires and clinical guidelines. The project will […]

Rosetta Stone Canada collects user demographic and performance data from Fit Brains Trainer (brain fitness training games), Cognitive Assessment, and Lifestyle Assessment mobile apps. Data from the three apps can be linked and analyzed to answer research questions such as how lifestyle factors can influence brain training habits and outcome. This internship will: 1. Statistically […]

In many industries, particularly those using steam to heat or move heavy oil, keeping pipes and equipment as hot as possible is very important. When heat escapes, it lowers the efficiency of the operation, raises costs, and increases the carbon footprint. Insulation is supposed to keep heat inside, but it does not always work well […]

Weather is a significant driver of daily natural gas and electricity price moves in various North American markets. Weather drives retail energy consumption, which in turn drives market prices through a supply and demand process. The combined volume and price uncertainty is one of the main financial risks for an energy retailer like Direct Energy […]

Biobased products, mostly derived from plant biomass, have the potential to improve the sustainability of Canada’s natural resources and environmental quality while competing economically. Plant biomass, composed primarily of cell walls and modification of cell wall properties has the potential to improve biomass conversion to biobased products such as biofuels. Progress towards achieving this goal […]

This project will develop accessible wayfinding practices for an interdisciplinary art exhibition. The project combines research-creation and auto-ethnographic methodologies to explore and develop accessibility practices within the Canadian arts sector. The intern will work with partner organization Mass Culture to adapt and revise “Access in Counterpoint,” an accessibility framework intended for a broad interdisciplinary arts […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision-making are finding widespread applications in various sectors, and pig production is no exception. In this fast-evolving landscape, there is a need to assess which areas would benefit the most from AI and to evaluate their impact on productivity and sustainability of the Canadian swine industry. There is also a […]

The research aims to develop a new computer algorithm for automating simulations of complex power systems when simulations are used for design. The new algorithm will be able to find multiple optimal solutions, which will give the designer the ability to scrutinize and select the most suited option. Additionally the algorithm will be parallel in […]

Water distribution networks, which provide clients drinking water, are prone to leaks. Leaks are a critical area of concern, as they cost billions of dollars each year, and can allow water-born pathogens into drinking water, which is a public health concern. Current leak detection methods are very labor intensive, as many of them require experienced […]

The project concentrates on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) fabrication process optimization. MEMS devices comprise suspended structures, such as cantilevers, gyros, membranes, etc., which are created by removing sacrificial material around them in order to have these structures released to perform their designated function. Currently, these structures are being released with the use of either dry etch […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

A quick and simple, point of care test is being developed to detect traumatic brain injuries using saliva samples. The prototype test uses biotechnology to measure the presence of certain protein markers of injury, resulting in a change of colour and/or location of colour in the test material. The interpretation of the results can be […]
