The overarching objective of this research project is to support and increase climate action leadership through the process of seeding, establishing, building, and growing an online climate action intersectional leadership community of practice that will in turn inform the development and design of an evidence-based framework and pedagogy to be used to shape an extended […]

The focus of this two-year research project will be developing an understanding of the organizational culture and other pre-conditions required to facilitate AgeTech adoption and evaluation in the context of a regional health system. The PDF will work closely will technology companies and the health system partners who are piloting innovative technologies to understand the […]

This research project aims to develop culturally sensitive mental health programs for Indigenous pregnant girls and young mothers. The project will create intervention strategies promoting well-being and cultural empowerment by collaborating with Indigenous communities and drawing on traditional practices. Through interviews, community engagement, and data analysis, the intern will adapt successful models like “Mama Pods” […]

deviantART is the world’s largest online arts community with a huge number of users and items. They currently recommend art to users only via an algorithmic presentation of “popular” items, and an item-item recommender system presented alongside every individual piece of art. deviantART expects to use recommender systems technology to enhance and leverage the contributions […]

L’érosion de la biodiversité est un problème majeur auquel fait face l’humanité actuellement. Les établissements d’enseignement et de recherche, tout comme les autres organisations privées et civiles, ont un rôle essentiel à jouer dans la préservation de la biodiversité puisqu’ils ont une empreinte écologique résultant de leurs activités. La création d’un ensemble stratégique d’initiatives pour […]

For a hundred years, fetal bovine serum (FBS) is used for cell culture. Cell culture is a critical tool for understanding life, through research, as well as manufacturing biologics, such as vaccine and lab grown meat. It is also used to reproduce tissue which can be used in human graft. FBS is the fertilizer for […]

Methane is a GHG that is at least 28 times more potent than CO2 and a significant contributor to ground level ozone (which impacts health and agriculture). Inversion Point Technologies will work with the intern to simulate methane removal from the air through addition of natural oxidizing agent in hydrogen peroxide. The intern will work […]

The proposed internship, developed between the University of Waterloo and Philip Beesley Architect Inc. (PBAI), will develop and validate prototypes for novel expressive interactive sculpture environments. The work incorporates human perceptual studies and machine learning techniques for generating models for perception and generation of affective expression within experimental architecture and installations, and systematically deriving the […]

Extensive ecosystem changes are expected to be driven by decreasing water availability in the western boreal forest. Warming of 2° C since the 1950’s has already been linked to water stress and declining tree growth in some regions and species. Tree rings are a valuable tool for tracking changes in forest growth over time, but […]

Ce projet représente le développement d’une technologie de séparation des gaz par membrane. Cette technologie nouvelle sera basée sur le concept de membranes à matrices mixtes qui a fait l’objet de travaux récents à l’Université Laval. Ces travaux portaient sur la conception de mélanges de polymère avec des particules inorganiques et organiques capables de séparer […]

La transformation des crustacés est d’une grande importance économique au Québec. Cependant, les usines de transformation génèrent des quantités importantes de déchets solides et liquides dans l’environnement qui pourraient être valorisés. Les eaux de cuisson, plus particulièrement, contiennent des protéines, minéraux et des molécules responsables des arômes et des saveurs. Bien qu’il y ait eu […]

AltaML’s primary activities involve collaborating with traditional sectors to identify productivity and process challenges that can be addressed through applied AI. The previous cohort of interns worked on a marketing content generation use case, but for the upcoming term, students will be tasked with working on a chatbot for the Human Resource (HR) department, aiming […]
