The intern will undertake a project which analyses several drainage structures of an experimental green roof while developing a numerical model to mimic the experimentally obtained results. In addition, the intern will also be involved in working on an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan, and low impact development methods. The partner organization will benefit by having […]

In agricultural watersheds, many meandering rivers were straightened and several rectilinear ditches were added to the drainage network in order to evacuate water as quickly as possible in the spring to improve farm productivity. The design of these modified channels was not based on natural river dynamic concepts, which include both discharge capacity and sediment […]

Biotonix adopte la recherche et le développement comme pratique pour créer des produits uniques et innovants. L’entreprise commercialise le logiciel Biotonix Posture d’évaluation de la posture statique, utilisé par les professionnels de la santé et de la réadaptation physique en environnement clinique, ainsi que l’application mobile BTX App de santé générale destinée au milieu de […]

Tiny particles made of fat are an established system for delivering nucleic acids into cells to perform gene therapy. We have developed a new polymer that can be incorporated into fat particles to improve the nucleic acid delivery efficiency. Using this polymer and others with a similar structure, we will engineer a library of fat […]

Rapid urbanization has triggered a global surge in the construction of high-rise buildings, necessitating their robust designs to withstand the impact of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and strong winds. In response to this challenge, innovative strategies are being explored to mitigate the deformations and accelerations imparted on high-rise structures by these natural hazards. One […]

The project is in the important domain of container security where containerization is an emerging technology transforming the way a wide-range of applications are recently being deployed. This project will address unique security threats mainly due to the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that are commonly found in container technologies. Particularly, the intern will build a comprehensive […]

Protecting artificially Intelligent systems (AIS) is a demanding task Until recently, ML systems were not able to take an active role in general purpose or commercial applications, due to the lack of applicable algorithms, tools, hardware resources and most importantly training data. With the advancement of the internet, an abundance of training data is now […]

The proposed project aims to develop and validate new knowledge, technologies and engineering tools aimed at identifying and mitigating geological hazards encountered on deep mass-mining projects. Deep mass-mining is key for delivering the copper and other critical minerals needed for the transition towards clean energy and electric cars as near-surface resources are depleted. The proposed […]

In the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada, wetland consolidation and agrichemicals are potentially threatening aquatic life. The water boatmen are a family of aquatic insects with 42 species in Alberta that are monitored province-wide by the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute. However, currently only a small proportion of the water boatmen collected in the monitoring program […]

IsoStage is a high-tech, revolutionary fitness device inspired by the founder’s background in kinesiology and personal interest in strength training and body building. The idea emerged from the realization that there is a clear absence of devices or convenient methods catering to overcoming isometrics (OI) training – a technique that has incredible potential to build […]

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) expression, exhibits high invasiveness, metastatic potential, and poor prognosis. Current chemotherapy for metastatic TNBC is associated with low response rates and short progression-free survival. It is imperative to find new therapies for this […]

The purpose of this 4?month internship is to scale?up the bionanofluid production at McGill University and then transfer this process to Leap Medical Labs for commercialization. At McGill, this will involve the design and implementation of 2 new reactors, as well as testing, optimization and validation of the various process parameters. Once the scale?up is […]
