The design of subsea infrastructure on the Grand Banks and, potentially, Labrador Sea must address the potential interaction with freely floating and gouging icebergs. Current practice is to protect the subsea infrastructure, such as conductors, wellheads and production trees, within massive excavations known as glory holes. For marginal fields or satellite wells, considerations of capital […]

RTDS Technologies Inc is the manufacturer of RTDS® Simulator, which is a fully digital, wide-band real-time simulator for the power industry. The size of the RTDS hardware and subsequently its monetary cost is proportional to the size of the modelled system. The goal of the intern’s research is to develop an efficient yet accurate equivalencing […]

Paper is one of the few basic materials for which per-capita demand has not become saturated by the cost of raw materials and energy which are on the rise annually. Energy, wood supply and lower than predicted reliability of equipments leading to production swings have been a major issue for AV Nackawic which came to […]

Alcatel-Lucent manufactures telecommunications equipment ranging from telephone handsets to internet routers. The Research & Innovation group within Alcatel-Lucent is mandated with evaluating new technologies and new ideas that may benefit Alcatel products, thereby benefiting Alcatel-Lucent’s customers, and ultimately the end users. One current area of research is the ability to group streams of traffic into […]

Many hospitals use image-guided cone-beam computed tomography (CT) to provide qualitative treatment for cancer patients. Although cone-beam CT provides good volumetric images, it takes a while to reconstruct them, which limits its applications because in many cases, real-time spatial information about patient’s internal structures is needed. To overcome this slow image reconstruction problem and missing […]

Considering the introduction of new network services such as high definition television over the internet protocol (IPTV), new technologies should be introduced and planned in the Bell’s access network to improve the access rate. In this project, to maximize the profitability of the network infrastructure, we propose to explore an access network evolution model (a […]

Next Level Games is a full-service videogame developer based in Vancouver, BC. This intern research project will investigate mathematical solutions to the incredibly difficult problem of sequential decision making in an uncertain, partially observed, multi-agent environment with realistic motor dynamics. The problem is formalized under the reinforcement learning framework, where the agent observes the world […]

Radical Entertainment is a video game developer which creates and develops games for all current and next generation platforms. Collision detection forms an indispensable part in today’s 3D game engines. Due to increasing size of the 3D objects used in game development, high-performance collision detection running directly on these objects requires a significant amount of […]

For project, the intern will assist with the development of a new software package for a product line of hyperspectral imaging devices for Channel Systems Inc, a developer of technologies for scientific and industrial imaging and measurement. The general purpose of this research is to implement mathematical, statistical, and chemometric tools as software algorithms in […]

Scientists believe that global warming will trigger increasingly more frequent and violent storms, heat waves, flooding, tornadoes and cyclones in some areas of the globe, while other areas will slip into cold or drought. Although the effects of climate change will impact every segment of the business community, the insurance industry is especially at risk. […]

The project will utilize basic research to understand the target and time of action of the organic materials which will be used to guide the implementation and management plan for a new blossom thinner. The intern will test the efficacy of twenty candidate organic materials to act as blossom thinners and develop a management plan […]

The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive material waste minimization program in order to enhance sustainable development and promote innovation in the residential construction field. The scope of the research will include the identification and detailed examination of the factors that contribute to residential construction material wastes, the investigation of opportunities for […]
