The objective is to develop a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm to be implemented on the tractor-trailer type vehicle used in the AIS called a Cart Puller. This vehicle is to work fully autonomously in a nursery farm, while carrying planted pots (loaded onto the plant carts) toward their loading stations. By using SLAM, […]

Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC) are an emerging class of drugs that combine antibodies and a drug payload. The antibody cargoes the drug payload to specific targeted cells improving both safety and efficacy. To date that are 8 FDA approved ADC drugs all for oncology application using small molecule drugs. Although these ADCs with small molecules […]

Machine learning, specifically deep learning, for face recognition applications has advanced significantly over the past 20 years [ref: science direct survey on deep based facial recognition]. There are many deep learning concepts pertinent to face image analysis and facial recognition, and there is active research in outstanding problems ranging from effective algorithms to handle variations […]

This project will support efforts to develop a new instrument and techniques to measure the state of stress in the ground. This is a key parameter used in the engineering design of underground mines, tunnels and boreholes for geothermal and shale gas extraction. Existing techniques suffer from reliability issues and it is proposed to use […]

It is essential to develop a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing the global COVID-19 pandemic. The most efficient vaccines are built on attenuated live viruses, which can be engineered to display specific antigens and, once administered in humans, can safely induce an immune response and immunity to the disease of interest. Fast, reliable, and […]

Transcription factors (TF) are proteins that drive and maintain cellular functions by physically binding to DNA and regulating the expression levels of other genes. There are approximately 1,600 TFs in the human genome. Accurate and scalable identification of TF binding locations across the entire genome remains a major challenge. An effective solution to this problem […]

Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is a phenomenon that results from excess insulin or strenuous exercise in diabetic patients. If untreated, this can quickly lead to dizziness, seizures and even death. In healthy individuals, the body is able to compensate for these fluctuations and restore blood sugars to normal levels by lowering insulin and raising […]

Spinal cord pathology causes significant burden to the individual and society-at-large. Treatment is complex and made more difficult by difficulties in clinical imaging of the cord microstructure. Using recent advances in image acquisition techniques and image processing toolsets, this project will investigate a semi-automated pipeline to visualize boundaries of spinal cord pathology for the purpose […]

rTraction needs to come up with a new overall business plan and related strategy to our product and service offering for the next 6-12 months. The intern will be working with the team on: • Analyzing current service offerings for profitable/loss leading activities (IE: what works, what doesn’t) • Market research for new products & […]

I will be joining TTT Studios as a Business Analyst Co-op student where I will be assisting the company with sales proposals by collaborating with the engineering and design team. As a Business Analyst Co-op, I will be documenting product and project flows, developing reports and presentations, as well as recognizing any potential improvements to […]

Citizen Relations is a public relations agency with clients across a variety of industries, such as entertainment, travel and tourism, CPGs, health and wellness, and beyond. With the cancellation of intern programs across local post-secondary institutions, Citizen Relations finds that it has a fair bit of work available that would lend itself well to a […]

The Vancouver Aquarium, an Ocean Wise initiative, is home to thousands of ocean species and amazing aquatic life. It is also Ocean Wise headquarters, where our scientists, educators and conservation experts do their work, not only to protect our oceans but to inspire others to join us in our mission. The internship will review accounting […]
