Glycoproteomic analysis of erythrocytes and PBMCs

The healthcare system relies heavily on blood and blood products for a large variety of life-saving treatments. However, blood products are perishable and have short shelf lives. Given the continuous demand for these products, this issue must be addressed. As blood is stored, the profile of cell surface sugars, known as glycans, has been shown to change. However, the mechanism behind the modification of the glycans remains unclear. Red blood cells (RBCs) themselves have been studied from many different perspectives, but a critical analysis of these glycans has not yet been conducted. We hypothesize that such an analysis would reveal important links between the structure and function of these glycans and their role in stabilizing RBCs for storage as well as reducing adverse events following transfusion. This project will focus on analyzing RBCs and platelets through a glycoproteomic lens in order to gain valuable insights into the biological contribution of glycans to blood and blood products. The findings of this project will set the stage for investigating the impact of the glycosylation of blood and blood products on immune regulation and inflammatory response.

Designing cross-species-reactive compact promoters for targeting specific cell types in the body

The interns will first conduct market research to determine the demands of the current life sciences industry, including pharmaceutical companies, gene therapy development companies, and companies that offer transgenic animal models. With this data, the interns will work together using a proprietary machine-learning algorithm from Re:Pair Genomics to design a catalog of 5-10 different compact, synthetic DNA sequences used to target different brain cells, heart cells, and cancer cells. These DNA sequences are predicted as compactible with mice, monkeys, and humans. These synthetic sequences will be tested at a wet lab facility at Re:Pair Genomics, and the data will be used to refine the software model. In addition, the interns will work with legal experts to search for various IP strategies and the patentability of these synthetic DNA sequences. Re:Pair Genomics will then commercialize this catalog of synthetic DNA sequences for research in the life sciences and gene therapy field.

Residual Stress Dynamics: Bridging the Gap Between Manufacturing Heterogeneity and Shakedown Relaxation

This research project investigates how residual stress heterogeneity generated during manufacturing affects the performance and durability of gears, which are critical components in power transmission systems. When properly controlled, residual stresses can improve fatigue resistance and extend the service life of mechanical parts. However, their behavior of relaxation during the early stages of operation is still poorly understood.
The project focuses on understanding how manufacturing-induced residual stress heterogeneity influences stress redistribution during gear operation, a process known as shakedown. By combining experimental techniques such as X-ray diffraction, topography evaluation, mechanical properties, and mechanical testing, the project aims to generate new insights that can improve the design and production of more reliable components.
The research supports advancements in strategic sectors like electric mobility and wind energy, where gears face increasing mechanical demands. Conducted in partnership between the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA, Brazil) and ÉTS Montréal (Canada), the project promotes international collaboration and contributes to the global effort to develop sustainable and efficient mechanical systems.

Multi-Modal Data Fusion for Satellite Based Analysis Ready Surface Reflectance

Optical satellite imagery used for monitoring the Earth’s dynamic surface is frequently limited by persistent cloud cover. This creates significant data gaps and inconsistencies in daily surface reflectance products. This project aims to advance how we combine optical data with different data modalities that can see through clouds, like active radar and passive microwave data. By leveraging these multi-modal datasets together, we can fill in the cloudy regions and make Planet’s “Planet Fusion” product — which provides a daily, complete picture of the Earth’s surface — even more accurate and reliable. For Planet, this means providing customers with better quality, uninterrupted data, helping to expand their services, particularly in areas often covered by clouds. Ultimately, this work will improve the quality of information provided by Planet Fusion for monitoring land surface changes irrespective of cloud cover conditions.

Enquête sur la pratique ostéopathique au Canada: Une analyse transversale

Au Canada, environ 8 millions de personnes souffrent ou souffriront de douleur chronique, un nombre en hausse avec le vieillissement de la population. L’ostéopathie, basée sur des techniques manuelles, vise à soulager ces douleurs et améliorer la fonction. Toutefois, l’ostéopathie n’est pas réglementée au Canada, et on en sait peu sur les ostéopathes et leurs patients. Cette étude cherche à recueillir des données sur leurs caractéristiques et leur pratique.
L’enquête OPERA, un questionnaire de 54 questions adapté pour le Canada, sera diffusée aux ostéopathes entre août et décembre 2025. La promotion se fera via les associations professionnelles, les écoles et les réseaux sociaux.
Les résultats pourraient influencer la pratique, la formation et la collaboration entre professionnels de la santé mais également favoriser l’accès aux soins pour la population.

Throughput Optimization of Paint Shop Operations in Aerospace

Airbus Helicopters Canada’s one of the main important activities is to serve the Canadian market in helicopter completion and customization of civil and parapublic helicopters, including private, corporate, EMS, law enforcement, firefighting, search and rescue, oil & gas, utility, and tourism. With the recent orders from Ontario Government and other customers, the production capacity is expected to double within the next two year. In helicopter completion, the paint shop process particularly creates challenges in terms of bottlenecks and high turnaround times. This process is particularly challenging to tackle due to specific constraints in paint applications, process time variability, as well as the need to use insulated paint room, causing limitations in achieving continuous operation flow. The objective of this project is to provide new facility design for paint shop process to achieve continuous flow and reduce the turnaround times from 6 weeks to 3 weeks. To achieve this objective a simulation-optimization approach will be implemented. The final recommendation of this work will lead to an updated production system design that is capable of meeting delivery targets in a cost efficient manner.

Real-Time Monitoring of Antioxidant Degradation in Lubricants

This project aims to improve how we monitor the condition of lubricating oils used in engines, turbines, and other critical industrial systems. These oils rely on antioxidants to prevent chemical breakdown. When the antioxidants degrade, it can cause equipment damage, costly downtime, and environmental harm.
To address this challenge, researchers at Carleton University, in collaboration with international academic partners, including V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, are developing a next-generation optical sensor. This device uses Raman spectroscopy, enhanced by nanomaterials, to detect early molecular changes in oil that are invisible to conventional methods.
The innovation will support Canadian industries, such as energy, aerospace, and defense, by improving maintenance strategies, reducing waste, and enhancing system reliability. At the same time, the project fosters global research collaboration by bringing students from Ukraine and potentially other European countries to Canada, promoting shared expertise in clean technology, sensing, and advanced materials.
