Synvest Capital Corporation operates in the highly competitive and dynamic hospitality industry, where maximizing revenue through strategic pricing and market analysis is crucial. The company faces the challenge of optimizing hotel performance by accurately forecasting demand and pricing, while considering economic factors, competitor activities, and consumer behavior. Their current processes for analyzing performance metrics and […]

Our airways are lined with mucus, transported by cilia in a process called the mucociliary escalator. This mucus protects against inhaled germs and pollutants but also poses a barrier to inhalable nanoparticles (NPs) used for drug or gene delivery. Understanding how NPs penetrate this layer is crucial. This internship uses Brownian dynamics simulations to study […]

This proposed study is an unprecedented attempt by a North American municipality to proactively identify and strengthen the components of its local value chain to inform a comprehensive strategy dedicated to growing opportunities in local advanced manufacturing, targeting increasingly interwoven value chains. Surrey has the space and existing capabilities to become an advanced manufacturing hub […]

The goal of this project is to develop a novel titanium carbide grain refiner for improving the strength of the lightweight aluminum 319 alloy. Enhanced use of lightweight alloys in automobiles, currently limited because of their strength, can enable auto industry to manufacture lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles. Titanium carbide, due to its ability […]

This project investigates the evolution of galaxies by combining observational data to understand how the intracluster medium influences galaxy star formation. The intern will query and prepare a catalog of imaging and spectroscopic data for galaxies in clusters. A key outcome of the project is the creation of a structured catalogue of potential targets suitable […]

We propose to tackle a challenging problem in computer graphics called ‘skinning’. A skinning technique consists in animating the skin of a 3D virtual character. In our context we seek a method specifically targeted to computer games. Therefore our goal is to develop a skinning method as visually plausible as possible with real-time performance. We […]

Most countries in Africa are not set to meet their 2015 targets of a two thirds reduction in under-5 mortality. Among the areas of child health most neglected is care following hospitalization. More children die in the weeks following discharge than during hospitalization, yet no strategy exists to improve these outcomes. My research over the […]

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are recently discovered lymphocytes that have innate ability to produce a specific set of hormone-like proteins called cytokines. While the importance of ILC2s in allergic diseases including asthma have been implicated by recent reports, the progress in our understanding of ILC2s has been hampered by the fact that they […]

The overarching goal of the internship at Upgraded is to leverage process improvements, and the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline operations processes, providing insights, and craft highly personalized proposals tailored to specific segments. The aim is to establish a comprehensive framework using drafting methodologies and systems that enhance the efficiency of proposals and […]

Managing the risks from snow avalanches during winter mountain travel is vital for the Canadian avalanche industry. An average of 14 avalanche-related fatalities per year occurred between 1997 and 2014 with the majority of those triggering the avalanches themselves. We propose a detailed examination of avalanche risk management practices using the conceptual model for avalanche […]
