Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) are important agents of bioremediation, helping to clean up groundwater contaminated with toxic compounds such as chloroform, perchloroethene (PCE), and chlorobenzene. This metabolic pathway relies on enzymes known as reductive dehalogenase homologs (RdhAs). The mechanisms by which RdhAs reduce organohalides remains elusive, particularly in the case of the Chloroflexi OHRB Dehalococcoides and […]

This project will help Aview International build an automated system that improves the quality and efficiency of translated and dubbed content. Right now, human reviewers leave feedback on content errors like bad subtitles or misaligned audio, but these changes must be fixed manually. The intern will design tools to turn that feedback into structured data, […]

Over 170 million persons worldwide are chronically infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV), leading to endstage liver disease and cancer. HCV is the single most common indication for liver transplantation in Canada and the rest of the Western world. After transplant, HCV re-infection is universal and is the chief cause of graft loss. Treatment of […]

Youth from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to develop heart disease as adults, partly because they face more challenges meeting physical activity, screen time, and sleep recommendations. This study will examine how improving these movement behaviours during adolescence could reduce future health inequalities. Using data from a long-term United States study that has followed […]

Ce projet de recherche porte sur les politiques d’intégration des personnes immigrantes dans deux grandes métropoles multiculturelles : Bruxelles et Montréal. Il vise à comprendre comment les administrations locales s’adaptent aux défis de la diversité ethnoculturelle et comment leurs actions s’articulent avec celles des gouvernements supérieurs (fédéral, provincial ou régional). En analysant les discours des […]

The purpose of this project is to provide an Intern with the resources, structure, and support necessary to expand the Ethics Bowl Canada Student Department, a place in which alumni of the activity gain professional development experience, volunteer experience, and exposure to non profit governance. The Intern will be responsible for recruiting students, creating a […]

To quantitatively assess the security level of a cloud environment, a common method is to construct an attack graph which tracks a potentail attacker’s moves through interconnected computing systems by exploiting vulnerabilities of each system, one after another. The state-of-the-art automatic attack graph generation suffers from two limitations: 1) low quality or inconsistency of vulnerability […]

Many rural communities in the maritime Provinces rely on groundwater for drinking water supply. There is concern that the groundwater in these areas may become contaminated with naturally occurring arsenic as the climate changes. Climate change effects including rising sea levels, longer summer droughts, and more intense storms may alter the geochemical conditions in the […]

Fluxscopic Ltd. is an independent video game studio currently developing its new game, “Ammonite”. Their work is important in pushing the boundaries of interactive story telling and experimental mechanics. The game centers around an avatar navigating a puzzle-based world, where players interact with objects that respond dynamically through audiovisual and tactile cues. The internship will […]

Our project is focused on developing portable biosensors that let anyone measure steroid hormones—like androgens, estrogens, and glucocorticoids—without needing to send samples to a lab. These tools were first designed to help monitor wildlife health, especially for caribou populations important to Indigenous communities, but they also have huge potential for human health. As scientists, we’re […]

Rootsy Marketplace is building a scalable, tech-enabled local e-commerce platform to connect Canadian small businesses with local buyers. The project focuses on optimizing platform logistics, digital operations, and market reach using third-party delivery partners.

Airborne viruses spread most readily in closed rooms where people share the same air. The usual defence is to crank up the ventilation system, so more outdoor air dilutes the germs. Unfortunately, higher airflow drives up energy bills and works against carbon-reduction targets. Installing Far-UVC lamps (222 nm) is another promising option because this light […]
