The goal of the project is to gain insight into AFTeR member organizations’ impact on the textile reuse industry in Atlantic Canada, the future of the industry, and the significance of the industry from the standpoint of social enterprise. By expanding the scope to include the Atlantic Canadian provinces, the project will aim to decipher […]

Rapidly detecting SARS-CoV-2 in infected individuals remains a critical problem in Canada. The current detection method is hindered by the need for highly trained personnel and expensive laboratory equipment. Such requirements cause long wait times and reduce the ability to manage the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. This Mitacs Accelerate project aims at addressing […]

The intern will be working with PROVA Innovations developing strategy for putting its medical device into the hands of patients. This device provides support to patients with Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, Stroke, and Azheimers’. This project will involve determining what needs to be done in order to receive approval from Health Canada and the U.S. FDA […]

Environmental scientists examining large-scale ecosystem processes (e.g., climate change, contaminant effects) are increasingly charged with collecting high-quality data on a more rapid timeline and extending the application of that data spatially and temporally. IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) is a field research station comprised of 58 pristine lakes and their watersheds. This area has been […]

Veuillez donner, en un paragraphe rédigé dans un vocabulaire simple et compréhensible par le grand public (public non initié), une description générale du projet de recherche proposé qui sera entrepris par le ou les stagiaires ainsi que les avantages escomptés pour l’organisme partenaire. (de 100 à 150 mots) Le bitume est utilisé pour produire les […]

L’intelligence artificielle et l’apprentissage profond font leur entrée dans notre vie. Que ce soit par le biais de moteurs de suggestion de film, d’assistant vocale ou d’aide à la conduite automobile, il est désormais pris pour acquis que cette technologie est là pour rester. Mais les modèles d’intelligence artificielle que nous connaissons aujourd’hui souffrent tous […]

Global pollution emissions contribute to climate change and are damaging to health. In many industrial applications that produce particulate matter, devices such as cyclones are used to separate and capture the particles from the exhaust gas. However, these do not capture the very small, but hazardous, particles and so expensive and energy-intensive secondary systems have […]

Sterasure Inc. in its current mission to provide biomedical tools to reinvent the clinical decision support, partners with the University of Waterloo to work towards the development of cutting-edge contactless vital sign monitoring systems. The technology studied in this research will allow the advance in the detection of oxygen saturation levels through cost-efficient systems. Although […]

FurCanada currently has approximately 5000 clients located across the globe. During COVID-19, the company has had operational and financial challenges. The company is seeking an MBA student who could fill a critical role on the team and support the company in discovering new business opportunities in China to help the business recover sooner. Meanwhile, the […]

This project will identify an optimal technology roadmap and integrated software engineering process for a new line of building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control system elements being developed by Greystone Energy Systems. The COVID-19 necessitates advances in HVAC and maintaining high indoor air quality standards. This trend highlights the need for HVAC systems […]

Conventional ultrasonography is limited in its ability to image small structures within the ovaries (eg. the eggs and surrounding cells, small fluid filled sacs that contain the eggs known as ‘early antral follicles’, the structure of the ovulation glands). Preliminary data obtained from our research team at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) have indicated that […]

To help reduce the polluting impacts of aluminum production, this project investigates a use of a landfill-bound waste material called bauxite residue. This by-product is produced in large volumes globally but has no well-defined reuse or recycling application. The objective of this study is to develop a process to utilize this waste as a wastewater […]
