Road safety has been a major concern to everyone. Geotab has collected driving and environmental data from over 2 million connected vehicles, looking for the solution for safe communities and cities. To reduce accidents, it is needed to understand both driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents, and the environmental factors involved. To achieve […]

Carnivores are critical components of ecosystems and changes to carnivore communities can impact entire food webs. Modern North American carnivore communities are sparse compared with those elsewhere, with many of the largest species having gone extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, about 11.7 thousand years ago. Today, many species of carnivore that survived the […]

Infrasonic signatures are long wave acoustic signals in the under 20 Hz range (below human hearing). The partner organization has been experimenting with infrasonic sensor systems to achieve 2 key outcomes: a) detection clear air turbulence to benefit commercial air travel and b) detection of marine vessels. The ability to detect clear air turbulence from […]

In the human visual system, light that reaches the eye is processed by the brain and understood in shapes, colours, and intensities. In the instance of digital cameras, light that reaches a camera sensor must undergo processing to be presented in a human-readable format. The process that achieves this task is known as the in-camera […]

This research study will allow PhD candidate Charlotte Smith, mentored by Dr. Malenfant and Dr. Spencer, to engage a team of at-risk and homeless youth in a collaborative study by working closely with the community partner, Operation Come Home. Charlotte and Malenfant will provide 5 youth with research training including methods, ethics and more. The […]

This project works towards an unhackable quantum internet. An unhackable Internet has been named the Number 1 breakthrough technology by the magazine, MIT Technological Review. A quantum Internet will be unhackable due to the laws of physics. Photons are the carrier of choice for quantum information in a quantum internet. Quantum repeaters are needed for […]

You might have asked Google Assistant what’s the weather like today, or a choice for Valentine’s Day dinner; have you imagined whether Google Assistant could be your assistant at work too, answering questions such as “Hey Google, what day generates the most revenue?”? At SOTI, we are turning this idea to reality, by integrating our […]

This series of internships will draw heavily upon the expertise within SiMPACT, towards the purpose of developing Social Value Canada as a non-profit professional network that is more equipped to operate independently, including generating ongoing and future revenue. Benefits to SiMPACT include the opportunity to embed its knowledge into a vehicle that can further the […]

Scientific research papers are complex, dense, and filled with jargon, so traditionally the valuable knowledge they contain has been accessible to only a handful of experts. SAGE publishing, one of the world’s largest academic publishers, and Dr. Adam Frost, a cognitive neuroscientist, independently created video formats that help scientists directly communicate their discoveries and practices […]

Global and local policy makers require realistic information about options to achieve sustainable development. To this end, this research project aims to improve understanding of the institutional dynamics related to implementing community sustainability strategies and the resulting plan outcomes. Plan outcomes are the concrete sustainability improvements, linked to the goals in the community sustainability strategies […]

The intern will be conducted industry-focused research geared towards increasing the understanding of native plant species survivability in various green roof systems. This will include plant species selection based on reported survivability in a green roof microclimate, and recording any differences in plant health (evapotranspiration, biomass, etc.), during the season when grown in multiple green […]

The project will consist of 2 primary goals: to apply the Six Sigma methodology in creating a effective onboarding/integration process for new clients and to utilize the 3Rs (Retention, Related sales, and Referrals) framework as a guide to optimize Glo3D’s customer success strategy. These two goals will practically strengthen our brand image, create a stronger […]
