High-resolution natural risk analysis of client-specific asset portfolios that supports science-based decision making for asset modernization, upgrade and acquisition & disposal is a crucial part of asset management in the face of major natural hazards and climate change. The interns will work to combine existing insurance catastrophe models and advanced engineering analysis of earthquake, extreme […]

The production of cement contributes to 8% of global CO2 emissions resulting in a pressing need to develop strategies for reducing the use of cement. This research project focuses on reducing cement use by improving structural efficiency. In order to fully understand the behaviour of these efficient structural elements and ensure that they will provide […]

The goal of this research project is to identify where Indigenous Knowledge differs from how the province of Ontario understands and manages winter moose habitat, in order to better protect moose populations in the Northeast Superior region. Additionally, new and improved forest inventory data in the region will be investigated as a potential tool to […]

Climate Change (CC) mitigation and reduction requires a strong effort to develop and put into use clean energy options that significantly reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In Canada, the transportation sector accounts for 25% of all emissions. Hydrogen fueled vehicles is one option that has a great potential to reduce Canadian and global CO2 fuel emissions. […]

Concrete—the most common construction material in the world—represents the main component of construction. Aggregate materials normally occupy about 70% of the concrete volume and their production results in excessive emission of carbon dioxide. One potential solution to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from the construction industry is to use the newly developed bio-resin Biofusion in […]

Screening spontaneous reporting (SR) or electronic health records (EHR) data sets for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) has become an important component of drug safety. Much methodological work has been historically done on SR data, however, novel approaches are continually being suggested which merit critical review. Thus, we will first investigate some of these approaches as […]

Large ships routinely pass through the St. Lawrence Seaway. These ships generate waves that could exacerbate erosion of the St. Lawrence River shoreline. This research project will measure waves continuously during a shipping season and simultaneously measure turbidity of the nearshore water to link ship waves to sediment mobilization events. Bank line recession rates will […]

The transportation sector is responsible for 25% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions and efforts to address climate change by electrifying transportation will reduce the demand for gasoline and diesel fuels. At some point in the decline internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle owners will face the same challenges that have plagued electric and hydrogen vehicle owners […]

Market research – Research North American and European cannabis industry / Bee and honey products and by-products (food products, lipbalms, topicals, etc.), identify price points, competitors, target consumers, consumer needs and preferences. Intern will gather as much information as possible from online sources as possible. Sales Approach – Identifying and contacting retailers (NL Cannabis, OCS, […]

The National Bank of Canada (BNC) is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in their software development processes. Within their software projects, the team is continuously improving solutions and integrating them within the organization. A key issue in the development and integration cycle is allocating team resources to different tasks. Short-term development tasks (completed under “sprints” in […]

While 3D printing has been hyped as the solution to the current shortage of organs available for implantation, the very limited scope of hydrogel-based “inks” that are available to print an implant has limited the practical implementation of 3D printing in regenerative medicine. In this project, we will combine the materials expertise of the Hoare […]

Le projet de recherche examine l’expérience maternelle des femmes marginalisées dans la région d’Ottawa-Gatineau. En collaboration étroite avec le Centre espoir Sophie et ses utilisatrices, nous nous pencherons sur les besoins des mères monoparentales en soutien matériel, social et psychologique, leur utilisation des services communautaires de santé mentale, les barrières à l’utilisation de ces services, […]
