Evaluating the effectiveness of constructed wetlands in Western Canada for municipal wastewater treatment

In Canada, water security challenges include environmental degradation, water pollution, and climate change impacts. Utilizing constructed wetlands (CWs) for wastewater treatment addresses these issues by offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. It helps mitigate pollution, conserve water resources, and adapt to changing environmental conditions, fostering long-term sustainability. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the effectiveness of […]

CFD study of sediment removal in interceptor-pit for carwash facility

In this research project, the intern will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models for multiphase flow to investigate particle deposition in the interceptor-pit of a carwash. Interceptor-pits are designed to remove the suspended sediment in the water that flows through the unit. The study will reproduce the geometry of the interceptor-pit and use numerical simulations […]

Development, and In vitro and In vivo evaluation of thermoresponsive bioreductively-activated nanotheranostics

Cancer management continues to be a global problem (WHO report 2022) – mainly because cancerous solid tumors (found in more than 40% patients, and in all types of cancer) become metastatic, therapy resistant and poor-responding to conventional chemo-/radiotherapy due to a condition called hypoxia (tissue with low levels of oxygen). Due to poor tumor vasculature, […]

Economic model of Ulipristal Acetate in the long term, intermittent treatment of uterine fibroids — a Canadian setting

Health economic evaluation provides a comparison on the incremental costs between two interventions and whether this extra cost is justifiable by the incremental clinical benefits. It has been increasingly used by payers to inform drug reimbursement decision as it can answer the question on whether a new health technology will provide value-for-money. Consequently, alongside clinical […]
