The goal of this MITACS funded project is to advance existing technology for the production of biochar from sustainably harvested woody biomass. Current technology limits the amount of biochar produced from the raw wood. This project will evaluate the increase in production of biochar by some 30%. Biochar is a very resistant form of carbon […]

The major aim of this research project is to accelerate the development of the SORT1+ oncology platform. This novel platform is based on a new proprietary peptide targeting Sortilin, a key scavenging receptor. Sortilin has been reported to play a role in cell survival and in the progression of human cancers. For instance, Sortilin expression […]

This project aims to tackle the challenge of finding different ways Viva could optimize its existing work processes to generate maximum results, as well as innovating in the human resources & operations domain. This requires the intern to observe technical insights such as user interaction and behavior, as well as traffic across various virtual platforms. […]

At present, the understating of the lateral behavior of large pile group foundations (> 100 piles) supporting bridges, high-rise buildings, marine structures, and LNG tanks is limited. There are no definitive published design recommendations or guidance on evaluation of the lateral group effect of large pile groups. The current design standards (e.g., AASHTO, Canadian Foundation […]

More information available here: www.clearseas.org. Clear Seas is partnering with BCIT to establish an Indigenous Internship Program that will develop partnerships with Indigenous communities across Canada and collaborate on research projects […]

The main objective to be addressed is the identification and maintenance of diversified sources of funding available for ASBA. The methodology to be used will include conduction of surveys, interviews and customer observation. The intern is responsible for identifying unique and innovative tools available to be used in facilitating access to potential funding sources. These […]

The vast majority of monomers used to make plastics are derived from fossil hydrocarbons. Furthermore, most of the commonly used plastics are not biodegradable. As a result, they accumulate in landfills or the natural environment. This has resulted in a societal concern over overcrowding of landfills, climate change, and rapid depletion of natural resources. The […]

Agronomy interns would be important members of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision AI now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The interns will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying their expertise to more quickly identify crop and weed plants in the images we have collected. They will […]

At Hammond Power Solutions Inc. we are currently running Sharepoint 2013 on premise. Support for this version will expire shortly so we need to move the content to the cloud to ensure business continuity. The main product we use to develop our forms in Sharepoint 2013 is Infopath which is also no longer supported. The […]

Plasma activated water (PAW) is water that carries active species generated by cold plasm. Chemical species generated from plasma treatment are complex matrix consisting of free radicals and ions. Reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS) produced by cold plasma discharge with air as the working gas contribute to highly desired functionalities of PAW for a […]

AltumView is a Vancouver start-up company and has been working wholeheartedly for the past few years to develop the Sentinare Smart Activity Sensor for senior care. The trend of senior living at their own houses and independently from their children is becoming more popular. Moreover, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the seniors are […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained significant interest of aerospace and biomedical industries to produce light weight components with complex geometries. Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology is an AM, process which can improve the productivity and the material efficiency of low volume-high variety manufacturing. After the AM process, the parts usually require a certain level […]
