The Arctic is undergoing rapid change due to climate change, making local processes such as ocean heat transport and nutrient supply critical to understand due to their respective influences on retreating tidewater glaciers and local ecosystems. Northern Baffin Bay is a key region due to its proximity to rapidly retreating tidewater glaciers, as well as […]

The barber-pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) is a parasitic worm of sheep, goats and cattle common in both UK and Canada. Infection of the barber-worm causes reduction in animal growth and milk production in addition to general poor health and high risk of death, costing millions from production losses annually in Canada and the UK. Symptoms […]

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a practical solution for reducing the overall green house gas (GHG) emission and environmental footprint of the civilization. The CoFlow simulation software developed by CMG is one of the only tools available for predicting the performance of the CCS applications. Generally, there are technical challenges and prediction deficiencies associated […]

Photocatalysis is one of the most exciting solar light-assisted applications, in which energy is converted using semiconductor materials and the synergistic effect of light photons and catalyst. Polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) nanomaterials is one of such photocatalyst which has undergone a resurgence as viable supports and co-catalysts in photocatalysis because of their tunable reaction […]

Soil acidity in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia has been recognized as a problem since the early 1960’s. With the current application of N fertilizers, this problem has persisted making it unsustainable to maintain high crop yields in the long term. This project hypothesizes that the one-time application of lime to increase soil pH will […]

The proposed project aims to de-risking the investment in CO2 capture technologies mainly and reduce the costs by developing a process model supported by the experimental tests for different blended solvents for various flue gases. In doing so, the project aims in developing the kinetics of the blended solvents and develop the hydrodynamic models for […]

This internship aims to improve the design and development of an innovative patented process to recycle these polymer-coated paper products and waste coffee cups. By addressing the issue of waste papers, using this green technology, we would save 80% of water, while also achieving a 74% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 35% […]

The process of identifying someone is talking to you and listening to that talker is one of the most complicated tasks people perform every day. This task is still not well-solved for robotics and it represents one of the fundamental barriers to effective human-robot interaction. For both humans and robots, several social cues must be […]

eThor is a startup company that develops applications for mobile devices in the area of e-commerce for wholesale and retail customers, initially in the restaurant industry. The internships proposed in this application relate to the expansion of data gathering, data mining and social network capabilities for the applications development. The data gathered will be transformed […]

Greenfield Global has been developing a process that aims to convert renewable materials to produce sustainable jet fuel (SAF). In addition to SAF, it is possible to produce other fuels such as diesel. Greenfield Global has been awarded a federal government grant which aims at developing a novel process for the production of renewable diesel […]

In this mixed-methods study, we aim to identify specific experiences and institutional barriers that prevent recent immigrants from engaging with and participating in municipal elections in the city of Calgary, Alberta. Using a systematic literature review and data from focus groups and in-depth interviews in Calgary, we will first develop a list of the concrete […]

This application is focused on GovLab.ai which includes a talent accelerator for public service professionals, post-secondary students and recent graduates. GovLab.ai’s mission is to set a global example of how to transform the public sector through applied AI, and is designed to encourage the growth of machine learning and AI skill sets that are in […]
