There is a large interest in the more accurate snow loss estimates for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems as large-scale deployments move into northern latitudes. There have been many studies on different types of PV systems and different types of modules. Preliminary results show bifacial modules may clear snow faster than monofacial PV. This study will […]

To date, gut microbiome populations have been associated only with not beneficial choline metabolism, like those related to trimethylamine N-oxide formation. But in this research, it is hypothesized that other mechanisms must be involved in the fates of free choline released from dietary sources. To explore these microbial communities associated to beneficial choline metabolism rendering […]

Remote sensing of Earth using hyperspectral imaging satellites has become an area of key interest for civilian end-use applications in areas like agriculture, forestry management, flood risk assessment, minerology, and environmental monitoring. The aim of this project is to research and develop a hyperspectral camera payload for a CubeSat constellation. The success of this project […]

Near the end of every maple syrup harvest season, the syrup can acquire an unpalatable off-flavour called ?buddy?. Buddy flavor cannot be detected in the maple sap prior to processing into syrup, often resulting in loss of income, and unnecessary cost in materials to produce the syrup. This proposal seeks to develop a low-cost field […]

In my doctoral research project, I will analyse infant and childhood feeding practices from three different medieval Italian sites (11th-14th centuries AD). These collections are housed at the University of Pisa where I propose to do my field work. The aim of my research is to test the hypothesis that gendered feeding patterns existed, which […]

The project will be done in the context of a collaborative project between Prof. Jorg Liebeherr (UofT) and Prof. Maryam Shojaei Baghini (IIT Bombay) on designing a low-cost, low-power irrigation control system, which seeks to address poverty and rural development in India. IIT Bombay has developed a sensor system, called Soilsens, for measuring soil conditions […]

In modern automotive engineering, vehicles are primarily designed in the virtual space to enable a rapid vehicle design process. However, this process is heavily constrained by the time and computational requirements necessary to generate the vast number of simulations needed for vehicle design. Fortunately, modern machine learning (ML) techniques may be used to dramatically accelerate […]

In order to understand how chemical bonds fracture and form, and to predict how electrons rearrange in photoactive materials, one must describe the electron structure of the substances. This requires evaluating a quantum-mechanical model for the system. Unfortunately, accurate quantum-mechanical models require enormous computational resources, and can only be applied for tiny systems. For systems […]

GNV is seeking an intern to assist with a project to improve and document the venture capital investment process. This includes outbound deal flow sourcing of early stage technology startups, evaluation of startups, due diligence and supporting investees. Furthermore, some supporting duties related to the investment process such as outreach communications within the venture capital […]

NTN Canada wants to build a Loyalty Program Mobile App that will be used by their clients to collect and redeem award points based on the NTN products that they sell/purchase. This functionality will be achieved through a client facing mobile application and web-based admin panel for NTN Canada office.

The Data Science/Analytics team at Voices is looking for a Data Analyst Intern to join the team and support analytics initiatives from developing Tableau reports to provide an in-depth/holistic understand of the platform, leveraging our datasets to provide insights/recommendations to decision makers, and producing predictive models on KPIs (i.e. retention, hire rate) to surface prescriptions/improvement […]

Northern Nanopore Instruments is commercializing solid-state nanopores: tiny holes in thin membranes that can be used to detect and characterize individual biomolecules. These sensors have potential applications in early diagnosis of disease, DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, and even digital information storage (hard drives). However, until recently these sensors were very difficult to make, limiting them […]
