TerraVerdae Bioworks is working with a type of bacteria that is able to metabolize methanol, converting it into a bioplastic. TerraVerdae is focusing its commercial operations on bioplastic production but is interested in identifying other bioproducts that can also be produced. It is known that this type of bacteria forms a symbiotic relationship with plants, […]

La transition énergétique mondiale nécessite le développement et le déploiement massif des énergies renouvelables, telles que les technologiques photovoltaïques. Les technologies photovoltaïques à base de matériaux pérovskites sont parmi les plus prometteuses pour les prochaines générations de modules photovoltaïques. Éventuellement combinées avec des cellules à base de silicium, des rendements de conversion photovoltaïques proches de […]

Ce projet vise à aider les employeurs à prendre le pouls de la santé mentale de leurs employé.e.s d’une façon qui soient rigoureuse et sensible, notamment pour les travailleur.se.s de groupes marginalisés. Un module web interactif sera développé, afin de dresser un portrait global de l’état de santé mentale chez les employé.e.s d’une organisation (à […]

This proposed research aims to understand the barriers to mental health and physical activity supports for self-identified refugee women, from both youth and older populations, who have experienced trauma and/or violence. Limited access to adequate mental and physical health services for refugee women has led to underdiagnosis of mental illness amongst refugee women and the […]

La prévalence de détresse psychologique au travail, déjà préoccupante, s’est exacerbée ces deux dernières années en raison de la pandémie, particulièrement dans le secteur. Or, les travaux manquent quant aux interventions novatrices à grande échelle pour promouvoir la santé mentale des travailleur.se.s du secteur tertiaire. Misant sur le potentiel inexploré de l’art public et des […]

The two goals of this project are to: 1. create a demonstration information system based on an existing system called Dreamcatcher for consultation, land-use, occupancy, and planning based on the archival material of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation (MNCFN); and 2. use this system and First Story to preserve and promote Aboriginal […]

The intern will be tasked with creating a unique online platform for healthcare providers and veterinarians to be validated, and able to order custom medications. This type of platform does not exist yet. It will involve a thorough embedded validation process, user management, an advanced search and filter function, embedded educational/regulatory/product information, a complex pricing […]

The Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition wants to be more effective at engaging both at the individual level and the municipal government level around urban sprawl. The intern will bring capacity and develop tools and insights to do this more effectively via a concentrated project in the lead up to the municipal election.

Le Centre vétérinaire DMV a été fondé en 1993, par un groupe de vétérinaires avant-gardistes. Leur objectif est d’offrir une gamme étendue de services d’urgence et de soins spécialisés, dans un centre hospitalier permanent. Au fil des ans, le Centre vétérinaire DMV n’a cessé d’investir dans de l’équipement de pointe afin de permettre à ses […]

The project aims to develop a strategy to drive operational efficiencies across all of Viva’s core business functions.

Quantum computers are well-suited to a subset of machine learning tasks known as supervised learning (SL). In SL, a model is trained on labelled data to generate correct labels for novel data thereafter. Robust classifiers can be achieved in SL by using the “kernel trick”, which provides a more expressive metric from a transformed point […]

Virtual and mixed reality (VR/MR) systems have burgeoned over the last couple of years with applications in healthcare, gaming, telepresence, and skills training, to name a few. Within the skills training sector, for example, police/law enforcement training is an important application domain which has seen increased adoption worldwide. In Canada, Public Safety and the Royal […]
