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 […]

This research project will develop an automated maritime object detection and tracking system using fused images from infrared and visible RGB sources. The developed system can be deployed and used in patrol vessels for maritime surveillance. As the system takes advantage of both infrared and visible RGB images, it is capable of running for 24 […]

Developing energy-efficient and durable floor and wall systems is critical to modern precast building construction, particularly with extreme weather conditions in Canada and the associated high costs of heating. This project addresses the structural performance of two components critical to energy efficiency of buildings as a result of their low thermal conductivity, namely double-wythe ultra-high […]

Pour faire face aux changements fréquents dans leur environnement externe, les PME manufacturières sont appelées à effectuer régulièrement des virages numériques leur permettant l’adoption et l’intégration des nouvelles technologies. Pour relever ce défi, elles ont besoin de développer des capacités leur permettant de mieux gérer leurs ressources et de les rendre plus disponibles aux moments […]

Ce projet de recherche est réalisé en partenariat avec la firme de consultation marketing Valence Co. Il comporte une double contribution. Premièrement, sur le plan académique, il représente la première étude à explorer le fonctionnement des agences de consultation en marketing. Deuxièmement, sur le plan managérial, il permettra à Valence Co de réviser, grâce à […]

Canadian companies have been struggling and lacking a systematic way to locate the ideal candidate for job postings externally and internally. The application of advanced AI-based algorithms can potentially extract information from at least 20 thousand resumes to build an automatic system to match candidate skills to required job skills which is the primary focus […]

This internship will involve the commercialization of a market research technology (ResTech) platform, powered by language technology. The intern will work with Nexxt Intelligence’s existing platform, inca, to explore and improve the text analytic capabilities and to commercialize them through applying their skills in market research and digital marketing to help polish the platform as […]

OWN Innovation advises clients on legal and business strategies for high-growth Canadian technology companies. OWN is experiencing a significant challenge in dealing with the rapidly changing IP position of a client in the financial technology sector. From May-August 2022, the intern will assist OWN Innovation in building and/or implementing an IP strategy for this growing […]
