Brain disorders affect 10% of Canadians, however few treatment options exist for these devastating diseases. We have extensive understanding of their causes, but translation to treatment has been difficult. For example, many natural proteins have been identified to hold significant therapeutic promise, but getting these proteins to the brain has been a longstanding challenge. Our […]

Boundary Pass is a critical foraging habitat for Southern Resident killer whales, West Coast Transient (Bigg’s) killer whales, and humpback whales, but high vessel traffic in the shipping lanes put whales at risk of disturbance from underwater noise and vessel proximity. Since 2019, Transport Canada has implemented two seasonal Interim Sanctuary Zones (ISZ) for whales […]

Makerspace YK (MSYK) is a non-profit makerspace in Yellowknife NT, in its first two years of operation. MSYK’s. The challenge for the organization is their current membership management process that utilizes a combination of different existing applications as well as manual administrative time to operate. This inefficiency along with the limitations of staff capacity to […]

Picovoice has recently released Orca Streaming Text-to-Speech, on-device streaming voice generator – enabling developers to add voice to their applications without sacrificing privacy, accuracy, or user experience. Currently, there is no direct competition, but alternatives. The intern will be responsible for developing and testing business development and go-to-market strategy with vertical-specific value propositions and messaging. […]

This power plant project proposes a software system which assists the operator to optimize the fuel supply, storage and usage for the power plant. Interns manage to build a web-based application to monitor, record, display and forecast the state of fuel condition. Interns will use mathematical model implemented in the system to figure out potential […]

Energy Disaggregation is to find the energy consumption of individual appliances from only a single measure of household electricity consumption. Accurate energy disaggregation helps identify major energy guzzlers in the house and motivates users to take proper actions for energy saving. To pursue aneasy-to-use and scalable solution to energy disaggregation for contemporary large-scale appliances, we […]

We will continue work on an inexpensive device developed for water column monitoring, using technology in development by Kinsol Research. The overall research project currently being undertaken is to create a device that can autonomously descend through a column of water to pre-set depths, gather measurements from various sensors (e.g. temperature and light level) during […]

VANA Health, a pioneering Canadian-owned company specializing in liquid nutritional supplements, is focused on expanding its presence in the Canadian market. Despite its success in the UK, the company faces the challenge of building brand awareness and trust among Canadian consumers. To address these challenges, VANA Health aims to optimize its online presence for Canadian […]

My project investigates the genetic diversity of Aneura mirabilis, a plant that lost the ability to photosynthesize, and instead depends entirely on fungal networks to meet its energy requirements. This is the sole bryophyte lineage that made this major nutritional transition. The mycoheterotrophic lifestyle is at one end of a spectrum of plant-fungal relationships that […]

This research project focuses on understanding how ringed seals communicate during haul-out events in the Northwest Territories. Ringed seals are vital to Arctic ecosystems but face threats from climate change and increased shipping. By analyzing acoustic and photo data provided by our partner organization, we aim to discover if these seals change their vocalizations when […]
