This project is meant to develop a Hybrid AI Platform for Streamlining Evaluation (HAIPSE) of applications assisting the partner organization, The NIB Trust Fund, in processing the two categories of funding applications. The NIB Trust Fund supports education programs of the First Nation and Métis individuals and organizations aimed at healing, reconciliation, and knowledge building. […]

Seize pourcents de la population mondiale vivent avec une ou plusieurs incapacités, limitant leur participation à des activités physiques récréatives. L’Association régionale de loisir pour personnes handicapées (ARLPH) de la Capitale-Nationale développe actuellement une plateforme numérique sécuritaire, éthique, et accessible destinée aux personnes vivant avec des incapacités (PAI). Elle comprend : 1) de la formation […]

WAT Medical Enterprise is developing is a new and innovative wellness technology that may help with weight loss called the ObeEnd band. The band uses electrical pulses to stimulate an acupressure point close to the wrist, which our previous research study shows can decrease the amount of food intake. More research is needed to identify […]

This internship is designed to analyse the impact of high frequency offenders (HFO) on the criminal justice system in British Columbia. Research indicates that HFOs have a substantial impact on police reported offences, the court system and the corrections system. Through a partnership with the Ministry of Justice of British Columbia and Sierra Systems, an […]

The proposed research project at Tabor Lake, led by a dedicated intern, focuses on transforming the overgrown aquatic weeds in the lake into a valuable resource. These weeds, currently a nuisance, will be converted into organic compost through innovative and eco-friendly methods. This compost can then be used to enrich soil, supporting agriculture and gardening. […]

The general objective of this project is to comprehensively investigate the oil adsorption performance of a novel polymer sponge sorbent and understand how the new sorbent and its combination with other technologies can be used for oil spill response. With the increasing need and interests from marine oil spill response organizations for novel technologies that […]

The overarching project involves designing, testing and evaluating a platform that uses AI and data-driven approaches to improve recruitment, adherence, engagement and monitoring of clinical trials. The specific projects to be undertaken by the interns involve 1) identifying evidence-based behaviour-change techniques that will then be programmed into an AI-driven adherence assistant and evaluated and 2) […]

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy when used in conjunction with clear aligner orthodontic treatment has been shown in clinical studies literature to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, reduce orthodontically induced tooth root resorption, and shorten the overall duration of orthodontic treatment. In-market use of LIPUS technology as an adjunct the clear aligners has grown significantly […]

A substantial proportion of the lithium used in energy storage and numerous other applications is extracted from naturally occurring continental brines. The recycling of the lithium-ion batteries, which are experiencing a sharp increase in demand, also involves extraction of lithium from solutions containing other battery metals. The proposed research targets the development of sorbents for […]

Generating synthetic data is important for a number of machine learning problems at Mastercard especially in the areas of additional data generation for imbalanced problems, data sharing etc. The data is mostly tabular in nature and a number of techniques exist for generating tabular data in the literature. However most of these techniques do not […]

The overall goal of this project is for the University science team at the University of Ottawa and University of New Brunswick to develop high quality Echinacea products for Canadian and world markets in collaboration with Amway Canada. One objective involves phytochemical and pharmacological selection and propagation of elite Echinacea from the historic Echinacea germplasm […]

Le projet vise à relancer la natation au Québec en identifiant les marqueurs de performance en natation. Cela permettra de créer un guide de développement et des protocoles de tests pour suivre les athlètes sur le long terme. Les marqueurs de performance en natation peuvent être divisés en deux catégories principales: les marqueurs physiologiques et […]
