The intern will assist with the development of the online analytics simulation game, Cortex. The first objective is to add a new scenario to the game. In partnership with SAS associates and HEC Montreal’s students and teachers, a new scenario will be incorporated into Cortex. The two analytics trending areas of climate change and sports […]

Serious environmental problems exist in Mexico, but changes can still be made, especially where renewable energy initiatives can help individual companies derive economic benefits from responsible disposal of the waste they produce. This project will conduct market research for Mexico to understand food processing businesses and explore other potential target markets. By quantifying the advantages […]

Geomembranes (thin sheets that can be polymeric or bituminous), are used as the liners in waste containment and mineral extraction facilities to protect the surrounding environment from contaminant migration. Environmental awareness and high demand for mineral resources increased the demand for geomembranes and have created economic opportunities for Canadian companies with an estimated revenue of […]

The project will undertake independent and evidence-based research on the effects of exposure to low-dose radiation (LDR). It aims to obtain accurate and unbiased information on the biological responses resulting from exposures to LDR – a cell and tissue stressor. The project will undertake tasks that will identify changes in metabolic processes and physiological systems […]

Increased stress, anxiety, and educational disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have contributed to the reality that many students are entering university-level Calculus with insufficient mathematical preparation and negative attitudes towards learning math. Researchers have also shown that students from traditionally underrepresented groups are at a particularly high-risk of STEM attrition related to these factors. […]

Battery powered Portable Power Station (PPS) becomes popular in recent years because of its multiple benefits to consumers, such as portable, environmentally friendly, no noise, no need for gas. However, the existing PPS suffers from two fundamental limitations: (1) longer re-charging time, such as 5 to 7 hours; and (2) limited power capability. This project […]

Additive manufacturing (AM, also referred to as metal 3D printing) promises to revolutionize the manufacturing sector by allowing custom parts to be printed on demand. Despite manufacturing accounting for 10% of Canada’s GDP, less than 5% of Canadian companies use AM. Among the limiting factors to the adoption of this technology are a lack of […]
