Mayana Geneviere

Mayana Geneviere (MG) hopes to grow and scale within today’s current commercial climate. To respond to disruption, MG has needed to pivot its business plan and strategy, which must be optimized through the project undertaken by the intern. This work involves researching potential markets for product launches, auditing processes for working remotely, and exploring new ways to navigate disruption. To do so, the intern will be responsible for gathering data, analyzing results, and reviewing processes to ultimately develop an in-depth strategic plan alongside a implementation plan. The expected benefit to MG is to provide clarity and minimize uncertainty in order to make the most informed business decisions moving forward.

Gala Média

L’objectif central du projet est de créer et d’animer une communauté d’intérêts auprès des professionnels de l’intelligence artificielle afin principalement de s’assurer de la promotion et la notoriété du média CScience IA. En effet, par cette communauté, le but est de devenir une référence et une ressource dans le domaine des médias en intelligence artificielle. Le projet va tourner autour de plusieurs questions centrales :
– Quelles sont les personnes cibles et susceptibles d’être intéressées par les contenus offerts ?
– Quelle est la meilleure stratégie pour les contacter, les attirer et les faire rester ?
– Comment s’assurer de l’impact réel pour l’entreprise de l’élargissement de sa communauté ? Nombres de
personnes vs taux d’engagement ?
– Quels sont les contenus les plus attractifs pour la communauté d’intérêts ?
En tant que chargé de projet marketing opérationnel, sous la direction du VP développement stratégique, et en coordination avec le reste de l’équipe, ma mission sera donc de créer et d’entretenir des « personae » correspondants aux membres de l’équipe afin d’accompagner les efforts de mise en marché et de communication de la compagnie Gala média et de son média CScience IA

A Geomatics based integrated resource management model for watersheds

Integrated management of land and water resources is critical to best addressing increasing resource
demands of society while maintaining a healthy environment. Combining computer mapping and
satellite data at the watershed scale with integrated resource management models will provide
governments, industry and nongovernmental agencies with a new generation of resource planning
and management capabilities. Watersheds are a natural management unit – defined by interactions of
geologic and atmospheric processes.
Our integrated modelling platform provides high resolution real-time capability to assess
changing resource issues in mountains – the water towers of the world. Such capabilities are critical
to short, medium and long-term management. Short and medium term issues can be challenging:
examples include flood protection, optimizing hydroelectric generation and water allocation in times of
drought. Longer-term adaptation to inter-annual and inter-decadal environment change requires highlevel
resource management tools. Our modeling capacity is critical to address all these management
issues in watersheds around the world.

A Camera Stabilization Gimbal System for A Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Remote industrial installations and other areas requiring surveillance can be monitored effectively by
an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). UAVs are remotely operated, with on-board camera systems.
Fixed camera systems are of limited use, because the field of view is limited to the direction in which
the aircraft is flying, which continually changes as the aircraft moves while flying. A gimbal system
can reduce this effect by compensating for changes in aircraft orientation, which fixes the direction of
the camera. Most stabilizing gimbal systems are designed for payloads on human-piloted aircraft, and
for fairly large cameras The objective of this project is to design and develop a compensating pan-tilt
gimbal system for a small UAV. The unit will carry a camera that can be pointed with an
electromechanically actuated articulation system, allowing the camera to track a designated azimuth
and elevation during flight manoeuvres.

Development of a Fully Automated Refuse Collection System

The proposed project involves the development of a fully automated system for municipal
waste collection. We will develop a ruggedized vision-based control system and a truckmounted
robot to pick up municipal waste containers and deposit their contents into the back
of a standard waste collection vehicle. The solution is envisioned as an add-on for existing
trucks that will not require municipalities to replace their entire fleets. Waterloo Controls
estimates the annual market to be in the range of 5000-10000 units.

Effect of novel iron chelators on cell growth inhibitionby anti-mitotic drugs and irradiation

Iron is required for the growth of all animal cells, being necessary for the proper function of diverse
enzyme systems and the expression of certain genes, as well as for the production of oxygen radicals
that function as signal transduction intermediates and help defend against microorganisms.
Interestingly, preliminary findings indicate that both mouse and human cancer cells (used to model
continuously growing animal cells) are more sensitive to iron withdrawal than are their normal
counterparts, and are also able to discriminate between different iron-chelating agents. The proposed
research will test the hypothesis that iron withdrawal (using novel iron-chelating agents developed by
Chelation Partners Incorporated) will enhance the cytostatic and/or cytotoxic activity of other cell
growth inhibitors, including anti-mitotic drugs and irradiation. New inSights into the control of animal
cell growth at the level of iron requirements will have important biotechnology and biomedical
applications.

Multivariate sequential data generator with long term, non-linear dependency

Financial data are known to be generated from complex distributions, often assumed to be changing over time. The aim of this project is to build a simulator of multivariate time series, parameterized as simply as possible by a user, with the freedom to build different models, to assess their general behavior and key properties. This will facilitate predictions of multiple sequences and their interactions, through a simple interface of possible configurations to the user, who could have a basic knowledge of statistics and limited knowledge of the mathematical details of the underlying models. More generally, the user will have to be able to define certain variables’ characteristics, as well as dependencies between variables and time dependencies. Standard econometric models will be used as well as recent machine learning techniques to introduce non-linearities and time-dependency over a large period of time.
