ATB Financial is a large Alberta based full service financial institution. The Card Services department was formed 5 years ago and is growing rapidly. The Card Strategy team within Card Services is developing models and processes to manage marketing campaigns, credit risk management, collections and fraud effectively. The intern will support the team by providing […]

  Nichols Applied Engineering Inc. has been contracted to design and conduct a survey on Alberta BIM implantation, as well as to do the analysis. The proposed survey will result in establishing the outlined baseline data assessing industry attitudes, motivations for BIM adoption (What’s working), understanding key issues, barriers and level of participation as a […]

Mobile Network Carriers are experiencing unprecedented data traffic loads which are straining their existing infrastructure. They are thus interested in exploring research areas which focus on reducing this traffic load. The malicious traffic generated by malware on smartphones is of particular interest. My research focuses on the generation of a software system that marks traffic […]

In this project, the intern will develop computer software used by the film industry in order to simulate new visual effects such as water, blood, and other fluids. This is called fluid simulation. It is very hard, and requires sophisticated mathematics, physics,  and computer programming. Cebas sells a software package called thinkingParticles for the film industry. This software cannot […]

  Emerging contaminants in drinking water are coming under increasing scrutiny as hazards to human and aquatic health. These compounds include pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, Endocrine Disrupting Compounds, and others. At present, the technologies for treating these compounds are costly and inefficient. Photocatalysis has been identified as a promising technique for treating these emerging contaminants in […]

  A significant step towards sustainable mining would be non-traditional, but productive uses for the mine. In particular, uses that would allow them to provide value and jobs to the community both during mining and after operations cease. To help in achieving this goal there is potential positive use of both closed and operational mines to provide renew […]

The research project aims to develop an effective method that utilizes multiple features to improve mass spectrometry based peptide identification with database search approach. The project is a continuation to the student’s previous research on precursor charge state prediction, since predicted charge state is a novel feature and has a great potential to discriminate the […]

In this research crumb rubber derived from scrap tires and scrap automotive rubber products is devulcanized using a thermo-mechanical devulcanization process with supercritical carbon dioxide in a twin screw extruder. Devulcanized rubber then is incorporated in a virgin tire rubber compound in order  to lower the material cost. The main intention of this project is […]

  This project will provide Bristol Machine a flexible 3D parametric design of the LHD bucket at a high quality. It will help the company to design the products more efficiently and quickly in response to customers’ specific needs. The LHD bucket will increase productivity by proper selection of wear materials. Also, the FEA analysis will improve and optimize […]

The purpose of this research project is to collect data on the actors with an interest in nanotechnology – including suppliers, users, researchers, associations and others in order to better understand the networks of innovation and to support NanoOntario’s efforts to facilitate the development of innovation networks and advance nanotechnology. Ontario companies and researchers have […]

This project involves creating a comprehensive method for developing and maintaining a Meta-model for the representation of Role and Request Modeling (R2M) constructs based on the notion of ontologies. R2M provides clear definitions and semantics for the constructs of conceptual models as well as a set of rules for guiding the modeling process. Currently, there […]

  Mobile Network Carriers are currently experiencing data traffic at such high levels that congestion is becoming an increasingly critical problem. These mobile carriers are exploring new methods to reduce congestion. Malicious traffic that is generated by smartphones is an important issue relative to this problem domain. There is even potential for a particularly virulent piece […]
