90Second Health aims to provide accessible and high-quality health information to people in different areas with a vision “To deliver to all, health information that is accurate, understandable and easy to act on”. Along with its Founder, Dr. McGrath, 90Second Health is actively collaborating in several research projects at the IWK Health Centre and is […]

Reliable high-speed wireless data transmission is the primary goal of future cellular systems. A key impediment to achieving this goal is interference on receivers from transmitters in adjacent cells. This problem becomes even more challenging when the types of transmitters and cell sizes vary within a heterogeneous network (HetNet). The performance of users near a […]

The recent opening of the Chinese Canadian Museum’s inaugural exhibition, “A Seat at the Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia,” in Vancouver features the history – and present – of Chinese Canadians’ struggle and agency for acceptance and belonging. The SAT exhibit, including its interactive features, provides a valuable experiential learning opportunity for K-12 students […]

The work to be undertaken by the intern with Rackforce builds on a successful NSERC engage grant to develop a distributed cyberinfrastructure system linking the University of Calgary with the Rackforce data centre in Kelowna. This system will demonstrate reliable leading-edge infrastructure for distributed multi-user collaboration for advanced scientific data processing. The planned work consists […]

The main objective of the proposed research is to present a new adaptive tracing framework to dynamically adjust the monitoring and tracing of software systems according to the observability objectives at hand. This will lead to a more efficient and effective trace collection and will ensure that the proposed framework will efficiently collect just enough […]

We are proposing to help design the experimental setup to characterize chip-scale Optical Phased Arrays (OPAs). OPAs – a photonic device used for optical beam forming and beam steering – have been widely studied for LiDAR, optical sensing, free-space communication and more. Building on previously prototyped phase array antenna design at Honeywell, the team aims […]

This project is a research investigation of the effectiveness of employing holistic, non-medical methods, and particularly “Deep Listening” and musical exercises,  on the reversal of sensorineural hearing loss, for the purposes of developing a therapeutic hearing rejuvenation program. An estimated 12 million Canadians suffer from hearing loss, and over 360 million people world-wide. Hearing loss […]

Western Canada is facing an opioid related health epidemic. Canadians are dying and experiencing mental health problems characterised by chronic drug and alcohol use. The overdose, misuse, and abuse of drugs/opioids leading to deaths is happening in the backdrop of significant medical, social, psychological, and economic causes. Income inequality and ill-balanced labour forced participation are […]

The project investigates how to design and implement high quality user experiences for extended reality (XR) applications that are deployed over 5G networks. Interns will elicit high level quality of experience requirements for such applications, determine appropriate metrics to reach these goals and micro-service based software architectures to build such applications. We are in particular […]

Battery life is a key concern for smartphone makers, and the power consumed by smartphone applications is directly tied to battery life. In this project the intern will develop fast, early and accurate models of smartphone power consumption, before the hardware and the operating system are available. These models will be useful for early optimization […]

Tastet est une plateforme de recommandations de bonnes adresses ainsi qu’un média spécialisé. Nous faisons rayonner la culture gastronomique du Québec et la soutenons tous les jours. Aucun restaurant, café ou bar ne paie pour apparaître sur notre site, par souci d’intégrité et de transparence. Nous devons donc optimiser nos processus afin de pouvoir nous […]

This project is focused on the development of import modules to bring publicly available corporate communications within the Cometrics database. This project will help deliver consistent and correct ESG Theme information to subscribers and partners.
