Our company is developing an AI-powered clinical documentation platform. In the proposed project, the intern will assist us in improving our Natural Processing (NLP) models designed to automate clinical documentation for Orthopedic Physical Therapy clinics. These NLP models will be capable of processing text comprising medical vocabulary and terminologies. With this project, we aim to […]

Like many of the world’s largest mining companies, Newmont is voluntarily targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Recent research on technical feasibility of mining operation decarbonization has shown that mining companies may be able to achieve up to 70% carbon emissions reductions through internal initiatives, but may require options to capture and store carbon (either […]

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are debilitating disorders that cause patients to slowly lose their lung function, resulting in shortness of breath, limited capacity for movement, and subsequent death. Over 15,000 Canadians currently suffer from some form of ILD, yet not all of them receive proper therapy, partly due to difficulties in identifying the precise ILD […]

Burrard Inlet’s marine environment has been impacted by industrial and commercial activities and residential development for many decades. These coastlines provide critical habitat for various fish species. Port Moody Arm is one sub-basin of Burrard Inlet which has particular importance for Pacific salmon and forage fish. Industrial activity and development patterns in this area have […]

This research project is focused on data analytics for our Australian clients. One, focused on the data aggregation and exploration analytics for the State of Queensland, the other for the State of Western Australia. The interns will be working with cutting-edge machine learning and NLP approaches. This project will help increase the quality and speed […]

Mycotoxins are acutely toxic compounds produced by fungi when they infect food crops such as grains and cereals but can also be found in cannabis flower and products. These compounds are known to cause cancer and kidney failure when ingested and are therefore closely regulated by Health Canada. There are 4 main mycotoxins that are […]

As the global demand for clean energy increases, the next generation power systems design has become more complex than ever. Since renewable electrical power can be generated locally, the power flow is not only from the utility to consumers, but also from any sources (i.e. photovoltaics, internal combustion generator, electric vehicle battery pack, etc.) to […]

Mining is important to the Canadian economy, contributing an estimated $43.9 billion in 2020 while addressing growing demand for minerals. Mine operations disturb natural environments, and Canadian federal and provincial authorities have instituted the Mines Act, and the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia, providing a regulatory framework for mine closure […]

Endur Apparel sells high performance custom socks, subscription socks, and individual pairs of socks to athletes and other customers who seek a unique combination of style and performance, with an exclusively digital strategy. The […]

Natural history collections and the specimens stored within are vital to our understanding of biodiversity, ecology, and evolution. To both preserve and increase their accessibility, efforts are being made to digitize the world’s natural history collections. In herbariums (natural history collections for plants), machine learning is being used to assist the digitization process by classifying […]

City staff are guided by policies when making decisions about their community. Some cities have taken the initiative to adopt a policy that embeds equity considerations into decision making. However, many other cities are still earlier in their path to creating more equitable communities and need support. Researchers and planning practitioners have heard from city […]

Cell-based therapies have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of chronic diseases such as endocrine and autoimmune disorders, neurological degeneration, and cancer. These treatments utilize cells as localized biofactories to secrete therapeutic molecules. However, one major roadblock in efficiently utilizing cell-based therapies is the cells survival and wellbeing in bioprinted devices. This is due to […]
