The focus of this internship is to build upon initial market research conducted on consumer segments currently focused on by Allos Bioscience. There will be a comprehensive analysis to detail and refine the consumer journey within the industry / market, as well as the development of a decision matrix used to rank industrial feedback. The […]

Have you ever done a finger prick to get a few drops of blood to test your glucose level using a handheld device? Or taken a “bed-side” pregnancy test using urine and a device at the palm of your hands? We’re planning to follow the same model and develop a device that can detect pregnancy […]

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a learning-based technique under the general scope of Artificial Intelligence (AI). NLP has shown its benefits in many application, including finance, accounting and auditing. Differing from semantic extraction in social media, text interpretation for auditing has the legal constraints, which is crucial in determining whether an invoice or a contract […]

This project tackles the issue of knowledge incompleteness and lack of domain coverage in resume and job posting matching caused by the exploitation of domain-general resources. A variety of co-operative semantic/ontological resources will be used to filter out irrelevant resumes. A two-way (candidate to job and job to candidate) semantic-based automatic suitability ranking is proposed. […]

The Legal Innovation Zone Feasibility Study project brings together the University of Alberta Faculty of Law and Donna Purcell QC Law to consider the feasibility of a collaborative centre or “zone” that might support cross-disciplinary innovation in the legal system. Such a zone would aim to increase access to justice in a digital age, with […]

N/A Please add the Project Overview as I was unable to locate it. Thank you!

Monitoring the quality of perishable food is critical for reducing the societal costs. A wireless intelligent gas sensor based on biomass/heavy oil-derived activated carbon will be prepared to monitoring the spoilage of food. Agricultural/forest biomass residual materials such as straw, sawmill waste, and logging residue, and cheap and abundant bitumen are feedstocks yielding high porous […]

EPCOR Distribution and Transmission Inc., an electric utility based in Edmonton is looking to figure out the inspection intervals on its distribution assets. In the case of pole-mounted transformers and wood poles, fixed interval inspection performed by EDTI might not detect potential risks immediately. Also, it often resulted in the decision of no action required. […]

The Mitacs project will build on the findings of a 2019 study and explore the experiences of newcomer families—specifically those in the cultural minority—with children 0-5 years old in community-based early learning and child care (ELCC) in Edmonton. The study will look at the lived experiences of these families as they access and receive ELCC […]

As more and more people record their lives and actions in Social Media, it has become an invaluable resource for the study of society’s opinions and sentiment. From individual life events (e.g., someone’s purchase of a digital camera) to collective events of major societal impact (e.g., the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic), social media has […]

Cancer poses a large and growing impact on the Canadian population and health care system. Developing technologies for accurate diagnosis of cancer in the early stage will decrease cancer mortality rates. Specific and sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers for point-of-care diagnostics applications has been a challenging goal for a long time in clinical diagnostics for […]

The research project undertaken by the intern is to investigate the relationship between inflammation and temperature, use that knowledge to define thermal metrics and develop a standard operating procedure for 3D thermal body imaging. During the project the intern will build a phantom to evaluate and optimize the performance of a commercially available 3D thermal […]
