The project will investigate image-based 3D reconstruction to infer the 3D geometry and structure of human body and scenes from multiple 2D images. Effective solutions typically require multiple images, captured using accurately calibrated cameras. Stereo-based technique – Multiple View Geometry, for example, require matching features across images captured from slightly different viewing angles, and then […]

L’urbanisation est un enjeu pour la santé des écosystèmes et les services qu’ils procurent aux Canadien.nes. Les microbes jouent un rôle important dans le maintien de ces services. On comprend toutefois peu comment ils peuvent être impactés par une augmentation de la surface bâtie et des températures associées à l’urbanisation. Ce projet étudiera la réponse […]

Bioethanol is well-established as an alternative to petroleum-based fuels. A current roadblock in ethanol fermentation is end-product inhibition: where the increasing concentration of ethanol slows the growth of the yeast cells and their ability to ferment biomass. There is work being done to use existing separation technologies to remove ethanol throughout the reaction to avoid […]

Multiple coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 have infected humans in the last two decades. In particular, the current COVID-19 pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2 has affected the entire human population, caused millions of deaths and negatively impacted the global economy. Vaccines have helped to reduce the severity of the infection; however, the virus continues to […]

Et si l’ingéniosité humaine et celle des plantes indigènes se rejoignaient dans nos jardins? Le travail qui sera fait au cours de cette Maîtrise aura pour objectif d’identifier des végétaux indigènes qui sont bien sur adaptés au climat local mais qui ont aussi les caractéristiques nécessaires pour les intégrer de façon innovante dans des infrastructures […]

The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. Motivated by these circumstances, Net Zero Atlantic is building an […]

Wildlife Preservation Canada’s (WPC’s) Bumble Bee Recovery Program is mainly focused on the recovery of the Special Concern (may become threatened or endangered) yellow-banded bumble bee (Bombus terricola). The intern will be taking on a project that will help WPC assess the health of bumble bee queens in the wild and queens that are being […]

Afin d’atteindre la carboneutralité et de gérer l’approvisionnement intermittent en énergie renouvelable, les batteries Li-ion – des dispositifs de stockage électrique sous forme d’énergie chimique, sont entrées en jeu. Bien que ces technologies énergétiques soient prometteuses, il faudrait encore améliorer leurs performances de plusieurs ordres de grandeur afin de les utiliser pour les véhicules électriques. […]

Carbon capture and storage requires a scientific basis for a legitimate social licence to be acceptable to the public as a carbon mitigation activity. This research program will augment groundwater monitoring to identify gas leakage around shallow carbon capture sites by integrating new approaches and analytes. In tandem, it will assess the subsurface occurrence of […]

The aim of this project is to inform the development of, and fully test and develop a mobile application designed to improve the process in which people find shared accommodation/ roommates. User experience (UX) and user interface (UI) are important elements for creating successful digital products, where the user experiences positive emotions while interacting with […]

We are looking for an intern to help add a new and exciting component to our platform which will connect our athletes/streamers with brand opportunities and be a core growth driver for the ARC Profile product. The purpose of this component is to act as an interface for a brand to post multiple opportunities such […]

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is one of the most widely used imaging tools by the researchers and industries to view and characterize tiny objects. This tool uses a very tiny and sharp probe to scan or feel the surface of the specimens and then it produces a topography image of the scanned surfaces. This research […]
