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 […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project aims to develop tools that will actively monitor the electric grid and identify ways to resolve issues more quickly using detailed data from metering devices. By doing so, the project will assist utility companies in gaining an improved situational awareness of the power grid. The power grid has become increasingly complex due to […]

This research aims to understand Indigenous children’s academic attitudes during the pivotal transition to off-reserve schooling after grade six. It uniquely acknowledges educators’ vital role as unconventional mental health providers within Indigenous communities. By exploring stereotypes and attitudes, it bridges the gap between academia and community mental health providers, recognizing education’s potential in addressing mental […]

The protein hormones (ligands) that circulate in blood plasma and their receptors on the surface of cells are among the most important diagnostic and therapeutic molecules and are a key focus for the detection and treatment of diseases. Presenting the ligands on chromatography beads may permit the isolation of receptors by a modified form of […]

L’introduction d’espèces exotiques envahissantes (EEE) représente une problématique importante, potentiellement amplifiée par les changements climatiques qui favorisent l’implantation de ces espèces. L’envahissement des milieux forestiers par le nerprun bourdaine cause notamment des impacts négatifs sur la biodiversité et l’industrie forestière en limitant la croissance des arbres et en affectant la succession forestière. Les capacités de […]
