Impact of Caregiving as a Continuing Professional Development Category

While more than 50% of Canadians are women, less than 14% of practicing engineers are women. Furthermore, while more women are graduating with engineering degrees, they are less likely to remain in the profession than men. The workplace and professional self-regulation are not traditionally tailored to employees who balance work and caregiving responsibilities, which are […]

Glacier weather planning decision aid – MDS AeroTest

The Glacier test facility was established to conduct testing of aircraft turbofan engines under icing conditions. Engine manufacurers from across the globe use the Glacier facility to earn airworthiness certification for their products. A range of icing conditions is prescribed by airworthiness authorities, and required air temperature is produced under naturally occurring conditions. Air temperature […]

Improving precision analysis of power line modeling and integrating data processing chains for automating 3D building rooftop modeling.

The project consists of two independent segments. The first part, to be managed by PhD student Yoonseok Jwa, aims to develop and evaluate new photogrammetric computer vision algorithms for detecting and identifying POAs and insulator types attached to power lines (PL). The expected benefit to the partner can be summarized as: (a) Efficiency- automatic detection […]

Development and characterization of novel whole-cell flours from Canadian pulses

In this partnership, researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre aim to work collectively to create a novel type of “whole-cell” flours from Canadian pulses, such as pea, chickpea, and faba bean. In comparison with conventional pulse flours obtained from dry milling/grinding, the new pulse flours are anticipated to […]

Investigation of Recrystallization Inhibitory Effect of Terpolymer Nanoparticles in Ethylcellulose Membrane for Amorphous Solid Dispersions of Drugs with Low Solubility

Poor water-solubility limits the total use of the drug in the human body of many recently discovered drugs. Recently, Amorphous Solid Dispersion (ASD) technique is being used as an efficient way to enhance solubility of poorly soluble drugs which are prevalent in pharmaceutical industry while providing sustained release, however the instability of ASD may cause […]

Pre-training large models that generalize well across the chemical space

The intern is expected to develop a pipeline for training large machine learning models on drug-like molecules to learn a broad understanding of biochemistry. This pipeline involves developing a model that can learn on many biological and quantum mechanical tasks concurrently while evaluating and improving the structure of the model using low-cost approaches from recent […]

Sustainable Energy Production Using Biomass Gasification

Considerable growth in the global population and economy leads to an increase in fuel demand. This requires production of clean fuels with minimum CO2 emissions to maintain climate, energy, political, and social security. Hydrogen is a promising carbon-free fuel that can be produced from various renewable sources such as wind and biological systems. The microalgal […]
