Objectives: Manitoba Hydro Telecom (MHT) has proposed the development of a state-of-the-art optical communication network using Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADM) employing Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM). MHT will use ROADMs compliant with currently established industry standards such as ITU G.709 and G.8032. ROADMs with WDM methods with 50 GHz channel spacing enable up to […]

Le projet de recensement technologique pour l’industrie de la construction a pour but de répertorier et de mettre en valeur les solutions technologiques et les équipements innovants disponibles pour l’industrie de la construction au Québec et ailleurs. La plateforme jouera le rôle de pont entre offreurs de solutions et chercheurs de solutions, dans le but […]

A novel high temperature and high pressure materials test system, a so-called in-situ punch shear test cell, has been developed to qualify materials for reliable service in harsh environments representative of those typically encountered in oil and gas operations. Conventionally, materials are first exposed in harsh environments, then removed from the aging fluids for mechanical […]

The current innovative research project has three objectives to address current deficiencies in contaminated sites assessment and remediation: (1) To develop a rating system that defines the stages of recovery/impact at marine sites based on intertidal community structure and pollution tolerance/sensitivity/intolerance of resident species. (2) To develop methodology for the assessment of environmental stress levels […]

Six million people in rural and Indigenous communities in Canada face water insecurity and associated risks to ecosystem functioning and biodiversity loss. Many of these communities could benefit from the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBCS). One challenge in the widespread implementation of these solutions is appropriate knowledge-sharing pathways, particularly in rural and Indigenous communities. This […]

Facial plastic surgery is a multibillion dollar industry in North America. Most surgeries are performed for cosmetic reasons, driven by patient goals. 63% of facial plastic surgeons use software to help people visualize possible surgical results. Deep Surface AI is developing a novel visualization software to help surgeons and patients decide on surgical goals. Deep […]

The intern will explore different models of virtual care in Canada and explore the financial viability of these businesses while providing information on the service quality experienced

Homelessness is a social issue and is defined as a state of unstable, inappropriate, and inconsistent housing. It is linked to the social determinants of health and can result in negative personal and health-related outcomes. As such, the Rural Development Network’s (RDN) homelessness initiatives emerged due to a lack of recognition, data and understanding of […]

The fontmake compiler is used across the type design industry to build fonts used on all kinds of computer devices for reading of all human languages. The proposed research improves fontmake to be significantly faster, which in turn will improve font designers’ workflows and efficiency significantly.

This project aims to challenge unjust systems and policies and support Indigenous people in their efforts to establish their food systems and adapt to the new COVID-19 world. It will explore ways to address long-term pandemic-related food security challenges led by Indigenous organizations. The intern will gather information from experiences and existing research across Indigenous […]

Le projet porte sur le développement de fonctionnalités d’un compilateur pour Python (un logiciel produisant des instructions machine pour le langage de programmation Python). Le développement de ces fonctionnalités augmentera la compatibilité du compilateur avec la syntaxe de Python et permettra d’obtenir des gains de performance. Ces deux points faciliteront l’adoption de cette technologie par […]

Patients are facing excessive wait times at hospitals, especially within Emergency Departments. Long wait times expose patients to unnecessary risks, and are very costly to hospitals. In addition, a number of governmental and medical guidelines impose limits on patient wait times. This has prompted hospitals to explore technologies that can enhance patients flow and reduce […]
