Plants are always associated with a well-coordinated and beneficial community of microbes – the phytomicrobiome; this plus the associated plant forms the holobiont, the entity that provides crop yield. There is considerable communication between the phytomicrobiome and the plant, often through signal compounds. Bacillin 20 is a small protein (a peptide) produced by a Bacillus […]

Additive Manufacturing is a rapidly growing technology in the gas turbine industry. Its numerous advantages allow for the design of complex shapes which have not been possible in the past, using conventional manufacturing method. The parts could be manufactured on demand, with reduce cost and lead time. Selective Laser Melting is the common method to […]

Natural health products have become integral to many personal routines and the Canadian economy as a $9 billion industry. But recent problems within China and India, which currently have a stranglehold on raw materials, are endangering the health of this growing sector. Replacing foreign sources with traditional batch production means is foolish since domestic labor […]

General Fusion is pursuing a fast, efficient, and collaborative path to practical fusion power. Its vision is a world with clean, limitless energy, and General Fusion’s mission is to deliver it using its proprietary Magnetized Target Fusion technology. General Fusion is building a Fusion Demonstration Plant to prove this technology and will require numerous state-of-the-art […]

In the Canadian boreal forest region habitat fragmentation due to linear disturbances (roads, seismic explora-tion, pipelines, and energy transmission corridors) is a leading cause for the decline of wood-land caribou (Rangifer tarandus) – boreal population; and as a result, a deep understanding of linear disturbances (amount, spatial distribution, dynamics) has become a research and forest […]

Geospatial data (e.g. location of the business branches, fleet of online delivery vehicles) is a crucial part of online marketplaces, as their developers need easy-to-integrate tools that efficiently perform searches across said data. This project will explore novel approaches to improve state-of-the-art searches for objects with geospatial attributes. In this project, interns will develop computer […]

Patkau Architects is an architecture and design research studio based in Vancouver, Canada. Patkau’s business faces many of the same industry challenges that other local companies struggle with, such as: the fluid economy, changing tastes in style, supply chain delays, the Vancouver housing crisis, environmental sustainability, and social issues, such as inclusivity, diversity, equity, and […]

This project aims at upgrading and automating some of the existing methods used at Myant to manufacture, assemble, and test smart textiles. The candidate will use their engineering knowledge to assess the needs and opportunities for improvements, to design theoretical solutions, to prototype and test these solutions, and finally to prepare an industry-grade version of […]

Près de 50 % des faillites d’entreprises canadiennes seraient attribuables à des lacunes en matière de gestion et de décisions de la direction de l’entreprise. Si on reconnaît qu’une organisation et ses résultats seront au reflet de son équipe de direction, la littérature demeure sans réponse en regard des signes distinctifs des équipes de direction […]

This project is an online multiplayer video game for Virtual Reality (VR) that is inspired by escape room themes and puzzles. The project is going to be developed using Unreal Engine 5 which is one of the newest and most powerful technologies that allows the team to implement more complex ideas and scenarios that were […]

We are building the next generation of operations management software. In recent years there have been many companies that digitize forms to eliminate paper. Now, OPAS Mobile is changing how companies manage their HSEQ, fleet, materials, timecards and more by integrating everything into one extremely easy to use platform. Combining real-time data from the field […]

Seismic techniques are used to image the structure of the subsurface and expand our knowledge about the geological condition of the underground. The information acquired from these techniques is employed in domains such as the petroleum industry and clean energy development. Seismic studies also play a vital role in geotechnical projects and civil engineering. The […]
