On their mission to empower local businesses to adopt and benefit from complex technologies, SwiftRoot is creating a city-wide, online local-only market with same-day delivery. The platform will allow local businesses to support each other’s growth and give Calgarian consumers the ease and convenience of supporting and enjoying local products, while fostering community-building, belonging, and […]

This project will be looking to work with the Cansbridge Fellowship to work on solutions for food waste and innovative solutions for waste management today. I will be working on this project in conjunction with a Singapore-based startup as a case study to work on waste management and the reduction of food wastes in the […]

Transportation services, ranging from public buses to private logistics fleets, could benefit significant from the introduction of Rogers’ 5G wireless networks. This project has a primary objective to support UBC’s efforts to achieve its 2050 emissions reductions goals, with an emphasis on a reduction of GHG and air pollutant emissions from transportation services.

The research outlined in this project is intended to highlight the real world impact cryptocurrencies have on our climate, if there is any. It is meant to evaluate the carbon footprint released by crypto-mining as a whole, and against the benefit it provides to our economy. This evaluation will be used to determine whether any […]

A massive volume of trash tires is generated globally, posing an environmental hazard. This dictates the development of effective technologies to recycle and utilize them. Tires are non-biodegradable, inert materials that are incredibly hard to treat. Various processes have been developed in recent years to process, treat, and use this kind of trash. However, the […]

Le projet de recherche a pour but de valoriser les sous-produits et résidus miniers de l’industrie de l’aluminium. Pour rendre possible cette valorisation, le projet consiste à évaluer des options d’utilisation des résidus de bauxite et sous-produits, comme ingrédients dans les recettes d’enrobés bitumineux (enrobés de surface, enrobés de liaison et grave-bitume). L’objectif principal est […]

The proposal focuses on using safe, non-toxic fatty acids as bio-derived and recyclable solvents for extraction of biomass polymers/waste plastics (e.g. wood chips, woody or agricultural biomass, algae, oil bottles). We will employ a new approach using fatty acids that are responsive to pH changes such that their properties can be switched from hydrophobic to […]

Foliar diseases in the vegetative year such as Sphaerulina leaf spot, leaf rust and Valdensia leaf spot pose problems to wild blueberry growers in Atlantic Canada. The pathogens that cause foliar disease infect the leaf tissue and create chlorotic or necrotic areas that prevent the plant from photosynthesizing. When a plant cannot photosynthesize, it is […]

This project aims to identify gaps remaining within the Canadian education technology sector. Although adoption of new technologies for the classroom in recent years have enabled greater collaboration between students and improved lesson planning procedures, it has also shone a light on the limitations of accelerated edtech adoption. The intern will spend her time analyzing […]

Le projet de recherche a pour but de valoriser les sous-produits et résidus miniers de l’industrie de l’aluminium. Pour rendre possible cette valorisation, le projet consiste à développer de nouvelles méthodes de mises à la terre (MALT) à base de géopolymères électriquement conducteurs qui seront par la suite utilisées dans les grandes structures électriques telles […]

Le projet de recherche a pour but de valoriser les sous-produits et résidus miniers de l’industrie de l’aluminium. Pour rendre possible cette valorisation, le projet consiste à développer un géopolymère conducteur chauffant en utilisant des résidus industriels. L’objectif principal est le développement de produits manufacturés et/ou matières premières alternatives qui implique le développement de procédés […]

Toronto has been experiencing a housing affordability crisis for almost two decades and the house prices continue to increase. The increasing unaffordability causes many problems in the city including increasing social inequality and difficulty of accessing affordable housing essentially for newcomers and racialized communities. This project aims at focusing on the discussion of “missing middle” […]
