The proposed research project will review data from CNIB’s survey of attitudes and beliefs of staff who volunteer in the Vision Mates program. The data will be analyzed for thematic qualities as well as for any correlations between attitudes and individual factors. It is important to understand how volunteers see the people with whom they […]

The proposed research project is an observational study that aims to explore the relationship between cannabis use and music enjoyment in a real-world setting, specifically within a cannabis smoking lounge. By studying how cannabis affects individuals’ absorption in music, we hope to shed light on the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. Partnering with Lit Research, we […]

In response to the dynamic challenges inherent in the gaming industry’s character animation pipelines, characterized by the labor-intensive and error-prone nature of manually labeling frame-by-frame data, this project endeavors to integrate Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) techniques into the animation workflow. SSL offers a compelling solution by enabling the acquisition of efficient and generalizable representations from large […]

The proposed project focuses on progressing development of the Minpraxis Tester (MPT), which was developed to revolutionize the characterization of rock masses and improve the likelihood that mines perform as planned. The MPT provides a degree of rock characterization that is unequalled by conventional methods. The technology measures continuously along core samples, providing an unmatched […]

This research project responds to Hockey Canada’s acknowledgment of a gap in its ability to effectively understand and address maltreatment in amateur hockey. Given the pressing concerns related to maltreatment and their widespread impact on hockey communities, this internship presents a unique opportunity to leverage academic knowledge to provide timely and necessary technical and analytical […]

Unintentional home injuries are a significant public health problem in British Columbia (B.C.), Canada. They can happen to people of all ages and are often influenced by various social and economic factors. This research project aims to address this issue by examining different aspects of unintentional home injuries and findings ways to prevent them. In […]

The proposed research project is aimed at developing an automated MRI-processing pipeline for pre-clinical neuroimaging. This pipeline will address some of the existing issues associated with current methodologies and has the potential to re-define the world of early drug development.

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and developing of specific techniques (16S pyrotag pipeline) for microbial communities profiling and metabolic reconstruction. The work benefits to industry […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à améliorer la conception des escaliers monumentaux en étudiant leur comportement face aux vibrations. Les stagiaires utiliseront des modèles informatiques et réaliseront des essais sur de vrais escaliers pour mieux comprendre leurs réactions dynamiques. L’objectif est d’ajuster les normes actuelles pour garantir des escaliers plus sûrs, économiques et confortables. L’organisation […]

We are embarking on an exciting research project that aims to enhance how we diagnose and treat depression in young adults aged 18-29. Our team will use machine learning to better understand how a person’s genetic makeup and life experiences can affect their mental health. Specifically, we will enhance a tool called YMI, developed by […]

ICG has developed proprietary LiDAR based software to quantify carbon sequestration in every individual tree across large landscapes. This technology promises to bring unbiased and verifiable accounting to the rapidly evolving forest carbon offset sector. The Intern will work with ICG software developers to incorporate and optimize allometric equations for specific areas of interest. The […]

The PACMAN Study seeks to understand experiences and satisfaction with care and outcomes of children and youth who used mental health services as well as their parents and caregivers at the above-mentioned hospitals, including an economic evaluation conducted by the IHE on the impact of the intervention on healthcare resource use and costs in youth […]
