Rare cannabinoids are currently gaining popularity for their potential uses in pharmaceuticals, therapeutics and cosmetics. Traditional cannabis companies are currently unable to produce these compounds and the demand is expected to increase significantly in the future. This highlights the need for new, innovative solutions to solve this problem. Using synthetic biology, the intern will develop […]

Anastomotic Leakage is a common complication that can occur shortly after surgery and lead to increased mortality rates if it is detected too late. The current method of detection relies on monitoring clinical symptoms and visual inspection of the surgical drain fluid, but this process is often delayed and reactive. NERv Technology Inc. is dedicated […]

Subtitles are typically generated postproduction and might be mis-aligned with the audio track. Alignment of subtitles to audio is a task which aims to produce accurate timings of the words within a subtitle track given a corresponding audio track. The alignment task is of significant relevance to Bell media. Semi–automated solutions exist, and they involve […]

While taking foreign language tests, people may record responses with different environments and equipment. sometimes the recording may not be very clear. The low-quality audios can lead to unusual results in speech recognition and scoring by the scoring systems. Audios with a higher resolution (sample rates) contain richer information since greater frequency ranges can be […]

Epilepsy affects 65 million people globally, with 30% unable to control their seizures with medication. Implantable devices that control brain activity via electrical stimulation are an alternative treatment option; however, existing FDA-approved devices only render 13% of patients seizure-free for up to a year. NerveX Neurotechnologies has developed ANIMO (Adaptive Neural Implant for Modulation and […]

Dealing with Cyber Physical Systems, this project takes two directions: First, system engineers at Auxon (our industrial partner) are interested in understanding the reason(s) why the system fails and, more precisely, why its behavior deviates from previously observed one(s), showing anomalies. Furthermore, to help Auxon diagnose the problem, we also provide them with root cause(s) […]

In recent years, clean and renewable energy sources are urgently needed to partially or completely replace the fossil fuels (e.g., natural gas, petroleum, and coal). Bio-oil derived from fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass usually contains a high oxygen content (30-50%), leading to a relatively low heating value, high viscosity and poor stability. […]

In modern kraft pulp mills, the kraft recovery boiler can produce all the steam and electricity needed for the mill and even sell green electricity to the grid. However, most mills still have the fossil CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in lime kilns. For mills to eliminate this source of fossil CO2, […]

In this project I will develop a computational framework for the automatic detection of task-related biomarkers in PD patients during speech production. This framework will help us to predict the timing of electrical stimulation in STN with the purpose of understanding the role of STN in encoding different aspects of speech production. To achieve this […]

This project aims to provide a solution to a critical problem in existing superconducting quantum processors by developing methods to create long-range interactions. Superconducting qubits are one of the most promising platforms for building quantum computers. Currently, quantum processors based on this technology offer the largest quantum memories, but do not benchmark well in terms […]

Preparing and analyzing unstructured data from various documents (e.g. leasing agreements, engineering drawings, etc.) is time consuming and difficult task for any organization or businesses. Artificio platform developed/created by ERP Solutions2go (dba BizTech2Go) will help the businesses or enterprises in automating this tedious process, the manual data entry process , and seamlessly integrate the same […]

Most residential houses in Canada are built with wood frame. Brick veneer is installed on the outer surface of the wood building to provide an elegant brick-finish look. Steel shelf angles are mounted on the word frame of a building to support the brick veneer’s load. Installation of shelf angles requires installation of through bolts […]
