Vector potentiator (VEPOs) are compounds that can enhance the ability of cancer-killing viruses to replicate and kill cancer cells. However, administering these compounds can be problematic as they are inherently toxic. To remedy this problem, we will link these compounds to a highly specific antibody, Trastuzumab, forming a new antibody-drug conjugate compound, T-VEPO. By means […]

Solid State of Mind uses automatic methods to adjust the details of the architectures and learning methods (i.e., hyperparameters) for some of its algorithms. However, this process is often slow and costly in terms of resources and energy. Through this internship proposal, Solid State of Mind wishes to study the possibility of accelerating the automatic […]

Newborn calves need to ingest maternal colostrum, which is rich in immunoglobulin G (IgG) content, to help them develop their naïve immune system. This requires calves to ingest high masses of IgG, generally above 100 g in the first hours of life. In addition to feeding high IgG masses to newborn calves, research suggests that […]

In the framework of this project, it is aimed to develop a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Since its pathology is complex, application of the conventional antibiotics is not much efficient therefore it is defined as a difficult-to-treat disease. To overcome those challenges encountered in the usage of conventional therapeutic approaches, […]

The project involves the investigation of perovskite solar cells fabrication for indoor and outdoor applications based on a method that can be used for industrial production. The intern will first study the optimization of perovskite solar cells by choosing the appropriate hole transport layer for the device stack provided by Rayleigh. This device architecture can […]

For the joining of different materials, various processes are available in the industry such as riveting, shrink fitting or welding. Welding is the preferred joining method especially for high temperature and high-pressure applications such as pressure vessels and aircraft structures. In recent times, the number of potential applications and usage of welding is also increasing […]

Businesses today struggle with manual operations such as paper-based processes and copying and pasting information from one system to another. These manual operations are costing companies hours of unnecessary labour, which trickles down to customers that are expecting on demand services. SOTI has developed a software product called SOTI SNAP that allows anyone to create […]

Organic electronics uses organic molecules with tailored structures and properties in electronic devices such as light emitting diodes, solar cells and transistors. This project seeks to synthesize new organic molecules from the acene family capable of behaving as semiconductors and capable of being electronically linked to metal oxide surfaces. The Shankar Lab seeks to investigate […]

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been deployed in many real-world applications such as payload delivery, agricultural laboring, and aerial photography. Based on GPS-based localization algorithms, these drones have achieved many advancements in industry automation. However, since common GPS receivers do not work indoors, an accurate computer vision (CV) technique is required to resolve the problem […]

Canadian public and private researchers have taken an interest in a new class of light-emitting materials, subphthalocyanines, which can produce better colour in OLED smartphone and television screens. The materials can be optimized for specific purposes by using slightly different ingredients in their synthesis, or by reacting them with other ingredients after synthesis, but most […]

The objective of this internship is to develop a Retail Credit Risk Scoring Model utilizing different alternate data sources and this model can give a credit score for people who has limited credit footprint. The intern will work on checking alternate data sources availability, Data Preparation, Feature selection, Evaluating models, tuning the model and documentations. […]

La pratique de différentes formes de loisir permet aux personnes immigrantes de s’intégrer dans la société québécoise en côtoyant d’autres individus d’origines diverses. Toutefois, nous connaissons peu de choses sur ce que représente vraiment le loisir pour les immigrants et comment il participe au processus d’acculturation dans les régions du Québec. Afin de mieux penser […]
