Methane is a GHG that is at least 28 times more potent than CO2 and a significant contributor to ground level ozone (which impacts health and agriculture). Inversion Point Technologies will work with the intern to simulate methane removal from the air through addition of natural oxidizing agent in hydrogen peroxide. The intern will work […]

This project is about making museums more open, fair, and inclusive. It focuses on how museums decide to remove certain artworks from their collections or re-introduce and contextualize artworks from a decolonized, anti-racist worldview, as well as the museum architecture and the exhibition spaces. Through comprehensive research, interviews with experts, and community discussions, we aim […]

While mountain biking is a sport of growing popularity among adolescents and adults alike, it is also notoriously injurious. Mountain biking is associated with high rates of head injuries, and exposure to sub-concussive head acceleration events. Despite this, limited research has investigated the extent to which mountain biking participation contributes to brain injury and cognitive […]

This proposed research aims to focus on the perspective of newcomers and the organizations that provide direct support to newcomers, and how policies and plans enable or inhibit how readily newcomers can find and secure skills- commensurate employment. It is our intent to make this research as practical as possible for newcomer-serving organizations to design […]

La valorisation des matières organiques résiduelles issues de l’industrie agroalimentaire représente un défi important qui s’inscrit dans l’optique de réduction du gaspillage alimentaire. Une des solutions innovantes permettant de relever ce défi est le surcyclage de ces matières organiques par les insectes et leur transformation en protéine entomologique utilisable en alimentation animale. Le présent projet […]

Yeast producers grow and distribute a wide variety of brewing yeasts to brewers to be used to make a wide selection of beers. These yeasts are commonly provided shipped as a wet slurry of yeast of a known number that brewers use to start the brewing process. Brewers demand high quality yeast to ensure efficient […]

Le projet vise à évaluer l’impact des corridors scolaires sur la sécurité des élèves dans la région. Face à la croissance du trafic automobile et à la diminution du nombre d’élèves se rendant à l’école à pied ou à vélo, En Mouvement Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean et ses partenaires souhaitent revoir leur démarche d’accompagnement de corridors scolaires à […]

En biologie, tout comme dans le monde des machines mécaniques, la fonction découle de la structure. Dans le domaine biologique, les “machines” sont constituées de protéines. En altérant leur structure, il est possible de leur conférer de nouvelles fonctionnalités. L’entreprise 9Bio combine une expertise de pointe en modélisation IA avec l’ingénierie structurelle biologique pour créer […]

Exterra Solutions Carbone développe un procédé permettant d’extraire les MCS à partir résidus miniers et à la fois y stocker le CO2. Cette technologie innovante permettra au Québec de produire du sulfate de nickel et du sulfate de cobalt de qualité batterie pour les VE de façon carboneutre. Ce projet de recherche collaboratif entre Exterra […]

This research project aims to make the process of moving cargo from trains to shipping containers more efficient. We’re going to create smart plans and ways to organize this process better, making sure the cargo is packed into containers in the best way possible. By doing this, we aim to reduce the time it takes […]

The proposed internship, developed between the University of Waterloo and Philip Beesley Architect Inc. (PBAI), will develop and validate prototypes for novel expressive interactive sculpture environments. The work incorporates human perceptual studies and machine learning techniques for generating models for perception and generation of affective expression within experimental architecture and installations, and systematically deriving the […]

Extensive ecosystem changes are expected to be driven by decreasing water availability in the western boreal forest. Warming of 2° C since the 1950’s has already been linked to water stress and declining tree growth in some regions and species. Tree rings are a valuable tool for tracking changes in forest growth over time, but […]
