This research project aims to help the Bank of Canada understand how people in Canada are using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular, but their prices often have large fluctuations, which can make them risky to use. By studying survey data, the project will explore how Canadians include cryptocurrencies in their investments and […]

With the number of opioid-related deaths continuing to rise, the demand for an effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) is growing. While opioid antagonists are effective, compliance is an issue since they induce withdrawal. The botanical compound, TGIR-C is a promising non-opioid alternative that treats detoxification without inducing withdrawal. Further research on its neural […]

The rise of Big Data, social networking, and mobile interactions coupled with an accelerating increase in the amount of structured and unstructured information enabled by cloud based technologies is forcing organizations to focus on information that is most relevant, value-generating, and risk-related. Problems arise when we make decisions based on good enough metrics (e.g. means) […]

The need for medical oxygen is ever-increasing due to increasing air pollution, environmental pollution, fossil-based dirty fuels, pandemics, etc. Although using oxygen cylinders is the common practice for meeting oxygen demands for patients who need oxygen, this approach is not a permanent solution and is associated with numerous complications. There is a certain need for […]

Pfizer, a leading global company, is constantly striving to deliver breakthroughs that improve patients’ lives. They achieve this through a dedication to research and development (R&D) and by optimizing their manufacturing processes. The student’s contributions will support Pfizer’s mission of innovation.

Fuel cells are versatile, low-emission alternative energy sources, but their optimization and failure analyses are complex due to their black-box nature. For fuel cells to perform at peak proficiency, each component requires a different level of hydration, yet these parameters are currently unattainable with conventional diagnostic techniques. In consultation with Greenlight Innovation, this project focuses […]

Thermal cracking of ethane (from natural gas) is used to make ethylene, a chemical used for producing plastics. Thermal cracking occurs in metal tubes that pass through a furnace, where heat generated in the combustion chamber outside of the tubes makes the cracking reactions inside the tubes occur at high rates. Coke is an undesirable […]

Le virus du fruit rugueux brun de la tomate est un virus émergent se propageant à travers le monde depuis sa détection en 2014. Celui-ci cause un brunissement ainsi qu’une déformation des fruits, menant à un déclassement de ceux-ci. Ce virus cause des pertes économiques significatives pour les producteurs de tomates en raison de sa […]
