Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will play key roles in the RWA platform. A significant area to which these technologies will be applied is the recommendation algorithm connecting users to resources that are most relevant to their 3 personal wellness journey. The app features a collection of both community resources and in-app resources […]

This summer student position will help define Atare Food’s technology needs for future mobile application. Intern will work on several tasks that would ultimately define minimum viable product for the organization.

Discovery and development of new antibiotics is becoming increasingly challenging, and in fact declining in the private sector because antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are constantly evolving. One way to increase the antibiotic discovery rate is by taking advantage of the strides in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based deep learning models to find new antibiotics that kill bacteria, as […]

Geosynthetics are rolls of man-made products that are used in roads and earthworks. These are often used to improve drainage and work very well in many instances. In some cases such as silt soils or silt-sized mine tailings, geosynthetic drainage doesn’t work well because of the naturally hydrophobic nature of the synthetic fibres. This project […]

Inadequate wastewater treatment and reuse in off-grid communities, such as many Indigenous communities, has been a challenge to the environment and hurdle to sustainable development of Canada. Although septic tanks and lagoons have been widely used, they are ineffective in removing nutrients, emerging pollutants, and pathogens, which poses serious threat to the natural water bodies. […]

This research will be a multi-centre project to investigate the effects of medical cannabis, i.e., cannabinoid formulations, on their neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties for concussion. We hypothesis that our CBD formulation can be used safely on a daily basis and will help to reduce the number and severity of concussions during contact sport competition. We […]

The objective is to design and develop different hybrid renewable power plants including wind turbines, photovoltaic system, energy storage, and small hydro power generators developed by Pioneer Solar & Renewables. The main aspect of this project is utilizing of renewable energy resources in the distribution system. This microgrid can operate in two different modes, namely, […]

In 2018, Health Canada proposed to phase out all agricultural uses of thiamethoxam and clothianidin neonicotinoids. However, after a comprehensive review, Health Canada decided (in March 2021) not to implement any changes for the use of neonicotinoids in canola production. While many stakeholders in the Canadian agriculture industry are pleased that Health Canada changed its […]

The agriculture sector of the Canadian prairies including the province of Saskatchewan is one of the major contributors to the Canadian economy. Farmers are the main driver of this sector, who often face delays in their harrowing process due to unexpected breakage of the harrow tines that they use. In this project, the team will […]

One of the practical methods for treating powdery mildew is to use a UV lighting system carried by an autonomous robot. The height of the plants can be different from one greenhouse to another or even within the same greenhouse. Hence, having a varying-height UV lighting system would be essential. . To enhance the robot’s […]

The goal of this MITACS funded project is to advance existing technology for the production of biochar from sustainably harvested woody biomass. Current technology limits the amount of biochar produced from the raw wood. This project will evaluate the increase in production of biochar by some 30%. Biochar is a very resistant form of carbon […]

Energy storage can help address the intermittency of renewable energies (such as solar and wind power). Different methods were developed to store energy for later uses. D’Arcy Mann, the founder of TESS Research Ltd., developed a method of high temperature thermal storage that would allow surplus power from renewables to be input year-round and given […]
