Design of modern electric power systems in which renewable energy resources are included is a challenging task. This is because these power systems employ a large number of sophisticated power converters and control methods that need to be accurately tuned. The task of tuning and optimizing these converters and their controls is tedious, repetitive, and […]

Missing Middle Housing (MMH) encompasses several moderate density housing types which offer similar features to a single detached home, while reducing costs to the buyer, reducing the environmental footprint and reducing the amount of land used. Although many Municipalities on Vancouver Island are beginning to encourage MMH, there are still relatively few of these homes […]

Quantum computers, that is, computers that exploit quantum mechanical phenomena to process information, have been shown to theoretically perform some computations faster than the best available methods on traditional computers. One widely applicable quantum computing technique is quantum search which offers an improvement to the problem of finding a needle in a digital haystack. Despite […]

Algae-C is a company specialized in algal biomass production. It enables on-site production of algae for a wide variety of sectors (aquaculture, nutraceutical, cosmetic and biofuel). To date, many fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products are extracted from plants. These valuable plant natural products (PNPs) are often produced in low quantities in plants and extraction methods […]

Les modèles de tarification actuels en assurance-automobile traitent les chapitres (responsabilité civile, collision responsable, bris de vitre, vol, etc.) comme étant complètement indépendants les uns des autres; la fréquence et le coût moyen des réclamations sont aussi généralement considérés comme indépendants! Notre objectif est d’explorer de nouveaux modèles de tarification qui tiennent compte du fait […]

In partnership with schools and community partners, the Restorative Action Program deals with bullying, physical violence, crime, mental health, substance abuse, suicide and self-harm – with programming delivered to over 8000 youth in Saskatoon schools. They work with youth to develop and practice conflict management, relationship management, and leadership skills – focusing on prevention, intervention […]

Augmented Reality can help in simplifying the filmmaking process by intelligently suggesting shot composition angles for amateur filmmakers to take better shots. In partnership with Rubber Match Productions, researchers will investigate how actors within an AR filmmaking environment can be dynamically tracked to provide real-time guidance to the filmmaker for shot composition. The project will […]

Existing data lake systems lack the support for storing or discovery features that could be used with different ML projects. These limitations negatively affect the process of decision-taking. Data scientists spend most of their time finding, preparing, and integrating relevant data sets to finish analytics tasks. Feature discovery systems are needed to ease the process […]

Palladium and other precious metals found within the East Bull Lake Intrusions have been identified by the Geological Survey of Canada as Critical Metals that are vital to future of humanity and our dominance as a global mining powerhouse. This proposed research will provide internship training on the geological conditions of Palladium concentration in the […]

In recent years, with the emergence of online social networks and the growing interest in genetics and biological networks, the research community has been tasked with analyzing knowledge extracted from multi-relational datasets. Such analysis, generally known as Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), is concerned with the computer aided discovery of useful knowledge in databases. An […]

This research project proposes to identify and develop successful ways of engaging Arctic voices and community with the Arctic Research Foundation’s (ARF) digital communications platforms. The platforms will promote community understanding of ARF’s mission and may inform the Foundation of potential sites of intervention and innovation. The intern will cultivate community relations while seeking new […]

L’Île d’Orléans a une industrie agroalimentaire et agrotouristique très forte. Plusieurs produits locaux sont valorisés et transformés sur place créant un potentiel économique encore plus grand. L’engouement envers l’achat local et la souveraineté alimentaire lié à la pandémie de la COVID a d’ailleurs augmenté l’attrait de l’industrie agroalimentaire de l’Île. La MRC a identifié le […]
