To feed the globally increasing population and increasing costs of producing food, this project seeks to use artificial intelligence to develop an app to assist in sustainable agriculture management. By monitoring soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate and crop type, a machine learning algorithm will link the farming action (application of fertilizer, flood irrigation and other) […]

The free-flow counter gradient focusing technology provides a solution to tackling the problem of separating and collecting large amounts of protein sample. This technology is to be high performance and scalable, and is meant to compete against current batch mode protein separation techniques. The intern will assist in developing the experimental set-up necessary to validate […]

This project aims to develop a systematic approach to deep energy efficiency retrofits for prevalent building archetypes in Atlantic Canada, resulting in a comprehensive roadmap for regional and national deep retrofit acceleration. As part of a larger federally-funded endeavor, it contributes to the establishment of regional hubs, known as “Retrofit Accelerators,” aimed at guiding building […]

Obesity and high levels of blood glucose are major risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Controlling food intake and blood glucose responses after a meal may help prevent the development of these diseases. Research suggests that people who consume breakfast cereals are at lower risk of cardiometabolic disease […]

Nova Scotia plans to become a major player in the global hydrogen market. The province wants to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia using renewable electricity. Hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon dioxide are three precursors to products that will be essential to a sustainable future: Methanol can be produced by combining green hydrogen and carbon dioxide, […]

La recherche envisagée vise à relever le défi critique de combattre la corrosion induite par l’utilisation répandue de sels de déglaçage, tels que le NaCl et le CaCl2, sur les infrastructures routières. Cette problématique majeure entraîne une détérioration accélérée des structures en béton, avec des conséquences coûteuses sur l’entretien et la durabilité des infrastructures. L’objectif […]

Les entreprises manufacturières de la Ville de Laval au Québec affichent un retard significatif dans l’adoption des technologies numériques, attribué au manque d’alignement avec le modèle d’affaires, la difficulté à établir des indicateurs clés de performance, et le déficit de compétences internes et de motivation des employés. Ce projet vise à évaluer la maturité numérique […]

This research project has two goals. The first goal is to design and test software that will analyze the content of transcribed 9-1-1 emergency calls. We will use Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to perform an evaluation of the operator performance during the 9-1-1 call and generate an evaluation form in the […]

ApplyBoard is a Canadian company that offers an artificial intelligence-enabled recruitment platform to help international students apply for post-secondary studies abroad. Embarking on a collaborative venture with York University, this research project aims to improve the application processing framework at ApplyBoard through the integration of advanced AI technologies. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Optical Character […]

Avec les avancées technologiques, la réalité virtuelle devient de plus en plus accessible comme outil diagnostique et traitement dans le domaine de la psychologie en général et celui sur les troubles du comportement alimentaire en particulier. Le dispositif actuellement disponible est basé sur un ordinateur. Le manque de mobilité du dispositif et les ressources matérielles […]

According to the Canadian Liver Foundation, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in Canada, affecting 20% of the Canadian population. Over decades, NAFLD can progress to liver cirrhosis, with deceased liver function and decompensation associated with mortality and requiring consideration of liver transplantation. Thus, early diagnosis is crucial to […]

Brainbot and the TeleNeurorehab Centre for Acquired Brain Injury at the KITE Research Institute are partnering to explore how innovative digital solutions can expand access and enhance the healthcare experience. Interns will delve into the research of a cutting-edge digital tool aimed at improving patient care and management for concussion recovery. Brainbot will gain valuable […]
