Le stage permettra de consolider les partenariats de l’OBNL et ainsi assurer une viabilité financière pour l’organisme, ce qui représente son plus gros défis relatifs à la pandémie. De plus, la poursuite des objectifs liés au rayonnement de Thèsez-vous permettra de faire avancer une cause plus large en attirant une attention politique et médiatique sur la réalité et la contribution des étudiant.e.s aux cycles supérieurs dans l’avancement des connaissances et l’innovation.
ACTIVITÉS PRÉVUES DANS LE CADRE DU PROJET :
Objectif stratégique 1 : Développer et entretenir les partenariats stratégiques et financiers avec les universités, les associations et les instances de recherches.40% du stage (224h) sera alloué à la contribution à l’atteinte de cet objectif stratégique.
Objectif stratégique 2 : Coordonner et améliorer les stratégies de communication de l’organisme. 30% du stage (168h) sera alloué à la contribution à l’atteinte de cet objectif stratégique.
Objectif stratégique 3 : Faire rayonner Thèsez-vous dans la sphère académique et la société civile. 20% du stage (112h) sera alloué à la contribution à l’atteinte de cet objectif stratégique.

Commercial Process Optimisation of Lithium Extraction and Refining from Saskatchewan Brine Deposits

With the growth in demand for electric vehicles and mobile devices powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, demand for lithium is expected to increase by over 200% in the next decade. Current lithium production comes primarily from Australia, South America and China. There are significant lithium reserves in the same Saskatchewan aquifers currently being exploited for their concomitant oil reserves. Although the lithium concentration in these aquifers is lower than in brines being mined elsewhere, new lithium selective extraction technologies show great promise for making extraction of lithium from these aquifers economical. Prairie Lithium has previously identified a lithium selective ion exchange material that can extract more than 99% of the lithium in a brine sample in only 4 minutes. We have also carried out a successful field trial of our proprietary technology at a scale of 50 m3/day of brine. This field trial represents the first successful extraction of lithium at an operating oil and gas facility in Saskatchewan. The project described here involves further optimization of all aspects of the lithium extraction, recovery, and refining process in support of the full commercial deployment of our proprietary technology.

Evaluation of geomorphic assessment methods and geomorphic performance of river restoration designs in mountain streams in British Columbia

River restoration in the steep mountain streams of British Columbia focuses on enhancing conditions for fish habitat, including salmon spawning habitat. These restoration projects are designed using 2D hydraulic models, but their performance during large flood events is relatively unknown. This project will use a set of laboratory experiments to assess the performance of common designs under large flood events. A scaled model of a restoration design will be built, and the sediment transport and topographic change of the channel during simulated floods will be measured. The project will provide the partner organization with an assessment of the current models and methodologies used to design and monitor river restoration projects.

The Impacts of Roads and Farming on Raised Bog Hydrology

This project will investigate the impacts of historical land use on Langley Bog to better understand how these unique ecosystems are affected by cranberry farming and fill roads. Bogs require a high water table and high acidity to maintain conditions suitable for bog-specific vegetation to grow. To determine whether the site is moving away from bog habitat, water levels, water quality, and vegetation will be monitored for four months across twelve different locations using a series of ground wells. Given the rarity of this ecosystem, this research will ultimately provide recommendations to the partner organization on how to restore Langley Bog.

Développement de contrôleur de charge MPPT boost-up

CAPSolar développe un module à énergie solaire unique en son genre, conçu spécifiquement pour les véhicules électriques à basse vitesse, afin de prolonger leur autonomie ainsi que la durée de vie de leur batterie de manière à optimiser la gestion des flottes commerciales de ce type de véhicule et réduire leur empreinte écologique. Toutefois, CAPSolar a un manque: un contrôleur permettant de charger les batteries de ces véhicules grâce au module solaire de la manière la plus efficace possible en réduisant au minimum les pertes énergétiques. La réalisation de ce projet de recherche par notre stagiaire nous permettra donc d’apporter sur le marché un produit fini de haute performance, à la fois novateur et écoresponsable.

Soil, Water and Topography Maps as a Management Tool to Improve Profitability and Sustainability within the Potato Industry

The proposed research will explore opportunities in measuring spatial variability in soil, water and topography within potato fields. Addressing this variability by doing site specific application of inputs such as fertilizer, crop protectant and seed can help to increase environmental sustainability and economic viability in potato production. This research will help develop new applications for SWAT mapping in potatoes all over the world.

Archéologie numérique en contexte professionnel

Le projet consiste tout d’abord à tester l’intégration de technologie numérique sur les terrains de fouille archéologique au Québec, tel que l’utilisation de tablettes électroniques pour la prise de notes, photos ou la transposition de cartes anciennes par réalité augmentée. Cette recherche nous permettra de déterminer les techniques archéologiques qui pourraient être améliorées et/ou simplifiées, afin de moderniser certains aspects de la pratique professionnelle. Par la suite, le projet a pour but de permettre l’accès à l’information archéologique au grand public par un concept de diffusion qui intègre la numérisation d’artéfacts et de vestiges, la visualisation 3D et la réalité virtuelle.

Chief of Staff

I will support and partner with product managers to understand the problem space, the competitive landscape, and the wider social media market. I will also review
requests and feedback from customers and internal stakeholders, manage backlogs, and observe/learn how to develop product roadmaps that balance
short-term business goals with long-term vision and strategy. This will also mean that I collaborate with product managers, engineers, UX designers, and product
marketers to define, document, position, build, launch, measure, and iterate on features and products. I will also prioritize user problems by understanding their needs and balancing the impact and reach of solutions against risk, constraints, level of effort, and tradeoffs.

Marketing Strategy Intern

WestGrid is looking for ways to diversify its sources of revenue and funding. WestGrid is at a strategic junction and has taken the decision to expand its offerings and services to the industry in addition to focusing on educational institutions. Given the limited resources and capacity that WestGrid has, additional resources are needed to help drive its business strategy and move in the right direction to provide value to our community. An intern can offer a great help in driving activity to help develop our business, marketing and funding strategies.
WestGrid will need intern students to help develop a solid business strategy, perform market research and analyze its target market and segments to pivot its operations and build an innovation platform that includes advanced and high performance computing facility . We also need to develop a marketing strategy, an operation plan and resources and staffing plan to move forward. Given this project will be funded by many funding partners, WestGrid needs to develop a funding plan.
