Analysis of the best performing technologies will be conducted relative to the areas of buildingintegrated energy generation and storage of such energy at the building/community scale.Relevant product and other technological literature will be collected and various areas of performancewill be used for comparison. Such metrics of performance for generation/harvesting technology willinclude (but may not be […]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is a remarkable trend that the documents on papers are replaced by digital documents. The partner organization, MyLaminin, has developed a new blockchain-enabled document sharing and verification service platform, that enables individuals, organizations, and governments to securely share important personal and business documents using blockchain. This project aims to extend […]

The goal of this project is to compare the results of several state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) models in the field of drug discovery. Specifically, the intern will recreate several models whose creators claimed are successful at predicting which drugs would interact with what proteins in the human body. In addition, the intern will design a […]

The goal of the project is to design, built, test, and document test results of a prototype of a Battery Management System (BMS) used in a Wireless Power Transfer System to charge a battery.

Development of stormwater management plans in Ontario has focused primarily on sizing of conveyance infrastructure and stormwater management ponds that mitigate the receiving water impacts of new developments. The focus has shifted in recent years towards the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) that emphasizes the control of stormwater runoff at the source. Although several […]

Indigenous-led conservation areas require an economic heart. One approach could come through natural climate solutions (NCS) – activities which protect, restore and manage lands to maximize carbon sequestration and storage. Indigenous Peoples have been managing their lands and waters for thousands of years, and they have a wealth of knowledge to continue to steward these […]

Oco uses Carbon Upcycling’s technology to offer our partners some of the easiest to integrate material decarbonization solutions on the market. Oco offers low carbon material solutions to consumer products brands […]

La proportion de déchets dans les sols contaminés a une grande influence sur leur gestion. Les méthodes standards pour déterminer ces proportions sont visuelles et subjectives. L’émergence récente des réseaux de neurones convolutifs (RNC) a révolutionné l’analyse automatique des images dans différents domaines. Ces réseaux de neurones peuvent recevoir des données complexes, comme des images, […]

Road safety affects everyone, not just Geotab customers. With several years of driving and environmental data from over 2 million vehicles, we have an opportunity to make our customers safer, as well as our communities and cities. To reduce accidents, we need to understand both the driving behavioral patterns that are predictive of accidents and […]

The goal of this project is to develop a more advanced cost-effective algorithm that can detect the road condition. The pressures signal from the pressure transducers installed on the struts of the off-road trucks are acquired and analyzed. The relationship between the road condition and pressure changes will be studied and researched. Based on the […]

The green transition requires the sourcing of critical metals like copper, zinc, cobalt, and nickel for use in climate change mitigating technology. This internship will train one Masters-level student to study the geological setting and localization of these metals associated with ancient submarine volcanic rocks in the Tilt Cove and Betts Cove regions of the […]

This project tackles heavy metals removal from two end-of-life streams, notably steel slags (SS) and municipal solid waste (MSW). These slags could be valorized and used in cement and concrete materials after eliminating heavy metals and other toxic components. Intensified cost-effective processes have the potential to be green alternatives for extracting and precipitating heavy metals […]
