Rural homelessness in Canada is still an ongoing problem that the country is trying to address. Most of Canada’s indigenous families in remote communities are living in substandard housing that needs major repairs. 3D printing of cementitious material to digitally construct building structures has already gained considerable attention from both the public and private sectors. […]

With constant news about population decline and a perceived lack of action from governments, people feel discouraged about the future of wild salmon. There is a need for a new, bold plan for wild Atlantic salmon conservation in the freshwater environment that will start working today, and 100 years from now. Plans are underway to […]

Le broyeur semi-autogène (SAG) est le broyeur primaire le plus commun dans les usines minéralurgiques en raison de son faible coût en capital. Bien que très performants, les broyeurs SAG sont souvent opérés de manière sous-optimale (manquant quelques points de pourcentage de capacité), car il est impossible de voir ce qui se passe à l’intérieur […]

The Lumiio Development Intern Project will to be improve the its operational processes to that are required for marketing to new and existing clients, inform sales strategies and generate data needed to create key decisions. This project involves conducting research on market trends, competitors, prospective customers, product/technology, and providing recommendations for enhancing current business opportunities.

Currently, researchers at Nano and Micro System Lab (NMSL) of the University of Waterloo have been manufacturing photo-electro-chemical sensor slides using a bio-compatible material, titanium oxide to monitor water quality and contamination. But there are certain challenges in the slide performance and production scale and type of the current manufacturing technique. To overcome these industrial […]

This research project aims to address the current cyber security shortcomings in the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry by proposing a comprehensive solution for secure and resilient condition monitoring in this sector. The objective is to integrate cybersecurity modules into the existing condition-monitoring tool developed by Cyber pattern Inc.. The proposed solution comprises two distinct […]

The current push towards electrification in Canada as a decarbonization strategy could lead to unintended consequences for utility providers, especially when managing peak demand to ensure grid stability. To address this issue, utilities require urban-scale energy models to forecast demand patterns and analyze the impact of new technologies, such as Electric Vehicles (EV). To this […]

This project is to implement data analysis algorithms for real time analysis of precision feeding data provided by a novel custom poultry precision feeding system. In addition if time allows work on some computer vision algorithms to detect the presence of a bird in a station.

Maintaining all of the equipment in the payload designed for space/near-space operation is a challenge. Because there is insufficient air in the high-altitude environment, the only way to remove heat from sensitive equipment is through conduction and radiation cooling. Other stringent constraints for such payloads, including power consumption, size limitation, and weight limitation, require thermal […]

Bacillus thuringiensis MS 20 produces a peptide, Bacillin 20, that has been shown to improve crop stress tolerance, enhance plant growth, stimulate the production of phytohormones and modify the plant root systems for better uptake of water and nutrients. The purification of Bacillin 20 from microbial broth culture is affected by the organic compounds present […]

Les stagiaires seront appelées à réaliser chacune un plan de conservation pour l’organisme à but non lucratif Nature Cantons-de-l’Est (NCE). À partir des données existantes dans la littérature ou auprès de gestionnaires de données, elles détermineront des cibles de conservation et de bien-être humain, identifieront menaces directes et indirectes pesant sur ces cibles, proposeront des […]

This project provides key elements that would help create a transactive energy platform. The platform is expected to be used for analyzing different market and business models which facilitate increased participation of the end- users, improved efficiency in the grid and optimal usage and distribution of the energy present in the urban neighborhoods. The internship […]
