The intern will be participating in an internship that seeks to bridge the gap between recruitment and marketing teams as the intern explores and develops strategies to target talented students dedicated to clean technology and sustainability. In partnership with the partner organization and academic supervisor, the intern will launch an updated marketing and recruitment strategy […]

The intern will be participating a multifaceted projected involving a case study on new technology which is being produced to help prompt sustainability through a multitude of different sectors and industries. The intern will create content and reports which will help educate the youth into thinking long term and innovating new processes. This will be […]

Au cours des trois dernières années, il y a eu un regain d’intérêt pour l’effet Hall thermique dans des matériaux quantiques. Tout d’abord, la possibilité qu’il puisse être utilisé pour détecter des excitations exotiques dans des matériaux liquide de spin, tels que les célèbres (et insaisissables) fermions de Majorana – qui auraient été mis en […]

Knowledge of elemental and radioactivity transport around the primary side of a Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) nuclear reactor and the radiation fields arising from the distribution of deposits around the circuit can be used by radiation monitoring and protection programs to assist in the planning and execution of maintenance, inspection, and refurbishment activities. When incorporated […]

Tumorigenesis and metastasis require constant stimulation of cells by growth factors. In colorectal cancer (CRC), the second most common cancer in Canada, such growth signal is primarily provided by a factor called hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) that acts on its receptor MET. Alongside growth stimulation, escape from cell death is crucial to cancer cell survival […]

Bats are ecologically important mammals, but recent studies have also identified them as reservoirs of emerging viruses. These viruses include SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Intriguingly, bats that are naturally or experimentally infected with these viruses do not develop severe disease. Thus, bats provide us with […]

The project will consist of assisting Prof. Mike McLaughlin graduate student research on deep banding in Australia. Specifically, the project will aim to explore the fundamental processes controlling P fertilizer efficiency in a wide range of soils, using a combination of spectroscopic, and speciation techniques. This will help develop a different perspective on phosphorus (P) […]

Chitin is a biopolymer extracted from various biomass waste streams including crustaceans, cephalopods, insects, and fungus in large scale. It is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose and as such, constitutes the core component of the shell-biorefinery, as a part of blue-biorefinery. Chitosan, as the deacetylated version of chitin, features unique and attractive properties […]

This research project aims to investigate for the first time the electric field alignment of carbon nanoparticles in an epoxy-poly(ether imide) polymeric system, to enhance electrical conductivity in targeted directions. By applying and tuning an external electric field, the carbon nanoparticles are expected to rotate, create an interconnected network, and promote anisotropic electrical and thermal […]

Le projet de la stagiaire Imane Nafouri, vise l’élaboration d’une carte de risque d’érosion hydrique de Dadès, un des principaux sous-bassins de l’hydrosystème de Drâa, situé au sud du Maroc. L’ensemble de cet hydrosystème est affecté par des évènements météorologiques extrêmes, à savoir des périodes de sécheresses sévères et quelques épisodes de précipitations soudaines et […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à étudier les effets du changement climatique en cours sur la dynamique fluviale d’une rivière évoluant en milieu périglaciaire (Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada). L’évolution de sa dynamique sera reconstituée à partir d’images satellites et photographies aériennes en caractérisant les déplacements des îles et berges. A cette fin, seront analysés par […]

The proposed research project assesses how collaborative robotics can be used in the construction industry. Humans may now engage and collaborate with robotics (Cobots), which are gradually being employed in the construction sector; therefore it is important to thoroughly understand the functions of Cobots and how they will assist in the near future. The purpose […]
