Leveraging the entirety of point of sale and loyalty data collected across a category, as well as additional socio-economic and other supporting data sources, apply statistical modelling to identify the own-price elasticity of demand and cross-price elasticity of demand at regular and promoted price points across Unilever’s portfolio within that category. Subsequently measuring the promotional […]

The risk of airborne disease transmission is high for essential workers even while wearing PPE. Since SARS-CoV-2 can remain airborne after a sneeze or cough for several hours, ideally, there would be effective methods to remove these infectious particles directly from the air. In this work, we develop a membrane-based technology capable of serving the […]

Mining is important to the Canadian economy but also generates large quantities of waste rock. Water percolating through some waste rock piles dissolves metals that can become hazardous to ecosystems. Laboratory tests are used to simulate this process. The intern will examine a suite of samples from a multi-year laboratory test to identify the source […]

Business Strategy Internship

We are looking at a strategy that addresses the two issues stated above. A way for Carlyle to pivot to expand their bundling approach (mentioned in issue one), to be a competitive advantage in the shrinking market, and issue two getting us engaged in the changing workflow within our customer companies. The objective of the […]

The project will involve identifying and analyzing potential high growth and stable markets. It will require conducting research through various construction databases and market sources to address the two opportunities outlined above. Pliteq has created a team dedicated to growing sales of the GenieMat®Rail product, an acoustic solution with applications to railways. The role will […]

ImmunoBiochem is developing novel anti-cancer therapeutics to address unmet need in intractable solid tumors. Because solid tumors are highly heterogeneous and evasive, recognizing cancerous cells, while avoiding damage to normal tissue, is a challenge. As a result, many targeted therapies quickly come up against resistance, resulting in patient relapses. ImmunoBiochem is solving the issue of […]

Mandatory reporting limits established by Health Canada for pesticide testing in cannabis are typically lower than those published in various U.S. states. Because dried cannabis leaves and flowers generate many co-extractives that can negatively impact testing results, a simple and cost-effective sample preparation and analytical method needs to be developed to meet the demanding testing […]

The project aims at developing prototype of a new ultrasonic based device to monitor and maintain oil-water interface position and oil layer height. Need for such a device has been identified for applications in oil-water separators commonly used in a number of processes. The ability to monitor interface position as well as liquid-layer thickness is […]

The project will focus on setting out the enabling conditions for nature-based climate solutions. Within this objective, the team will develop a portfolio of opportunities for — and a discussion of the implications of — (i) new policy tools and modifications to existing laws and regulations and (ii) market-based approaches, all to enable and accelerate […]

This program will cement Canada’s leadership in global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), a key technology in radio astronomy and geodesy. In partnership with Thoth Technology Inc., our team of leading radio astronomers will (i) develop new capabilities to compress, transport, and process large amounts of data between geographically distinct locations to enable real-time VLBI, […]

In this project, machine learning and optimization will be applied to a 20 GB dataset on raw fish quality and process control parameters collected by the Tally software over a three-year period in a large industrial tuna cannery processor. The goal of the research is to design predictive machine learning and optimization algorithms maximizing the […]
