Eco2Urb – PART 2

Avec à sa tête trois chercheurs de renommée internationale, l’équipe de consultants scientifiques d’Eco2urb possède une expertise marquée dans la gestion durable des écosystèmes, dans la conservation de la biodiversité, et dans la prise en compte des services rendus par les infrastructures naturelles. Depuis sa fondation en 2017, Eco2urb n’a cessé de croitre et s’implique maintenant dans une gamme élargie de projets de caractérisation écologique et de priorisation spatiale auprès des municipalités, des ONG, des gouvernements et des propriétaires privés.
En raison de la demande croissante pour son offre, l’entreprise cherche aujourd’hui à développer un plan de marketing et de communications pour étendre sa notoriété, consolider son image de marque et présenter ses services et ses outils à une clientèle large ou ciblée. L’entreprise a tout récemment embauché une directrice des communications pour contribuer à l’atteinte de la vision.
Pour l’année 2020-2021, l’entreprise entreprend une refonte de son plan d’affaires. Cette refonte sera appuyée par plusieurs études de marché, ainsi qu’un plan de communication-marketing exhaustif qu’il faudra non seulement élaborer mais aussi mettre en œuvre. Pour se démarquer, l’entreprise prendra sa destinée entre ses mains et fera preuve de créativité et d’innovation à l’interne.

Study on Natural Gas Vehicle Options Status and Needs

Natural gas use in transportation sector has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy truck, marine, light duty vehicles, and rail transport with a 20-30% reduction. It is proposed that a comprehensive scoping of research priorities related to natural gas vehicles and refueling infrastructure be undertaken. The outcome of this work would be a report identifying areas of research need, areas of research opportunity, and current North American research activities. The “need” area refers specifically to research activities focused on reducing the costs of vehicle components and stations, and addressing performance or reliability issues. Environmental performance of natural gas vehicles will also be studied. The research conducted by various people and groups and the needs for the market will be evaluated based on the interviews with expert people, literature search, market assessment, etc.

Sensory Friendly Solutions – Dhilip Kasthuri Rengan

Due to the effects of COVID-19 on tourism and travel, even within local communities, Sensory Friendly Solutions has had to abandon our business model, and export revenue streams that focused on matching consumers with businesses in our global Sensory Friendly Finder.
We have an immediate need to pivot our business model and revenue streams for our business to remain viable. We have identified several possible verticals in a post-COVID-19 export market and seek an MBA student to build a business strategy plan around the one we have identified as most likely for success: dentists in the USA.
We note that we have previously met with a UNBSJ MBA student, Dr. Dhilip Kasthuri Rengan, and due to his background in dentistry, he is a natural fit for this project.

Intern

Through my work with the Women of Windsor, I hope to inspire more women to become a part of this organization that does a great job of uplifting women all around. It is important, especially in these times, to support each other when we can encourage one another to take on leadership roles in the community. Women of Windsor allows for women in great places to become a mentor to those who may one day wish to be in the same position. I would have personally loved to have someone who guides me along the way through my academic and professional career and still hope to make such a connection one day moving forward. Through my work with this project, I also hope we can overcome obstacles in the way due to the global pandemic that no one person or organization could have prepared for. For example, we have planned to have a focused seminar involving inspiring women leaders coming together to share their experiences and wisdom through a virtual platform.

Business Development Associate

Silverberry Genomix is a health platform company that is slowly expanding its business to integrate its product into various different systems. Our COVID-19 Impact Risk Reports are being delivered across senior care facilities in order to better equip managers with the tools to control and prevent the pandemic from causing harm to their residents. So far I’ve been responsible for creating a whitepaper document addressing the current industry climate and challenges, while also being able to reach out to prospective industry experts to interview on the subject. I also just received my own project that I will be developing over the coming months and its related to integrating Silverberry Genomix’s service as a part of employee wellness and benefits program across different companies in order to help employers promote a healthier lifestyle for their employees who’ve switched to remote work.

Integration of Safety Analysis into Model-Based Systems Engineering

In recent years, there has been a rapid advancement of technology and an increased use of computer models to develop aircraft and aircraft systems. Unfortunately, safety assessment procedures have remained largely document-based, and thus have struggled to keep up with such rapid design changes. The objective of this project is to develop a solution that will enable safety assessment to be conducted more efficiently and reliably, and hence decreasing development time and cost. As a result, this will allow the partner organisation as well as other companies in the aerospace industry to deliver safer systems, and ultimately producing safer aircraft.

Developing a watershed approach to manage anthropogenic and environmental stressors in an eastern Lake Ontario watershed

Water quality in the watersheds of the Great Lakes are under ever-increasing pressures from population growth, urban expansion, economic development, nutrient enrichment, and climate change. We aim to develop a statistical model to understand the relative influence of anthropogenic stressors on water quality for the central Lake Ontario watershed surrounding the cities of Oshawa, Whitby, and Ajax. The project will: review potential ecological, water quality, climate, population, land cover, social, and economic data sources from global re-analysis data, open-access databases, government, industry, environmental networks, and scientific literature; and develop a basic prototype of a machine-learning data intensive watershed analytical approach to understand how anthropogenic stressors impact water quality. These models will be used to forecast water quality conditions under different scenarios of population growth and climate change. The results of this research will be useful for non-profit government organizations, conservation agencies, and urban planners to manage water quality in the Great Lakes watershed.

Mental Health Series: Addressing the mental health concerns of medical radiation technologists in Canada

In 2018, the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) identified that there were high levels of emotional exhaustion and among medical radiation technologists. Research has shown that such burnout can lead to significant personal implications, reduced quality of patient care, and can have financial implications for organizations due to absenteeism and low job satisfaction.4–7 There are significant gaps in the literature surrounding the mental health of MRTs and a lack of resources to support them. This research project will help to rectify this situation by gathering mental health information (national survey, interviews and focus groups) and creating guideline resources on how to deal with mental health issues in the workplace. The proposed intern will be involved in all stages within this project. CAMRT will benefit, in alignments with its mandate, by providing valuable mental health information and resources to its membership at the personal, organization and system level to support change that may ultimately improve patient care.

Quantifying Environmental and Anthropogenic Impacts on Coastline Instability at Point Pelee National Park (PPNP) and Peninsula

The focus of this project is to measure the historical and current rates of shoreline change around Point Pelee National Park (PPNP) and Peninsula. This information, combined with survey, climate, land use, and statistical data, will provide a better understanding on the primary causes, locations, and timings of significant shoreline change trends observed within the region. A conference or ‘Hackathon’ will be conducted to gather local scientists, engineers, and stakeholders to collectively discuss potential strategies designed to mitigate the environmental impacts of shoreline erosion around the peninsula. The primary goal of this work is to provide baseline data and methodologies that will be used to inform and guide continuous coastal monitoring and managements strategies in the region.
