Oculum is developing a new imaging system to improve how eye surgeons see delicate, transparent tissues during surgery—without the need for chemical dyes, which are often risky and not approved for many procedures. This project will help Oculum move from early research to real-world use by building the business and operational tools needed to bring […]

**Public Project Overview** This project will develop a new type of robotic tool for sanding, grinding, and polishing using advanced magneto-rheological (MR) actuators. Unlike traditional tools that rely on air pressure or electric servo motors, the MR-based tool can quickly and smoothly adjust how hard it pushes on a surface, making it ideal for high-precision […]

This project will support the early development of CORIMA, a new digital platform designed to help ports and other industries improve how different organizations work together to manage safety and risk. The platform is based on research done at Dalhousie University and uses a systems-thinking approach to identify gaps in coordination that can lead to […]

We’re developing the first high-efficiency, ultra-long-range, multi-source thermophotovoltaic (TPV)-based wireless power transmission (WPT) receiver, designed to convert laser beams into electricity without relying on fragile PV surfaces. It uses a spectrally selective absorber to convert laser into tailored thermal emission, matched to low-bandgap GaSb cells. Unlike traditional laser WPT systems, it performs effectively in space, […]

This project focuses on improving short-term electricity demand forecasting, which is essential for ensuring the reliable and cost-effective operation of the power grid. Many Canadian utilities are now using demand-side management strategies such as peak shaving, reducing electricity consumption during peak hours, to lower costs and reduce strain on the grid. However, these strategies can […]

This project aims to develop a business strategy to bring a new drone detection technology to market. The system uses a compact, reconfigurable antenna to detect and locate drones by listening to the radio signals they emit. Unlike current systems that are expensive or complex, this solution is designed to be affordable, portable, and easy […]

This project focuses on developing advanced bioinks enhanced with tiny filler materials to improve 3D bioprinting for tissue engineering. By creating stronger, more printable, and biologically compatible materials, the project aims to help the partner organization advance regenerative medicine technologies. This will support the development of new personalized medical treatments and open up commercial opportunities […]

This project will develop a small, energy-efficient hardware device that can quickly analyze DNA to detect harmful viruses or bacteria in real time. Unlike current systems that rely on internet access and cloud computing, this device will do all the work on its own, making it ideal for use in remote or low-resource areas such […]

This project will enhance an innovative telemedicine system that enables clinicians to monitor and consult with patients remotely. The system goes beyond video calls by transmitting real-time medical data from point-of-care devices. The project will focus on ensuring that personal health information is managed and stored within Canada and that the system is compatible with […]

Battery energy storage has potential to drive an energy revolution in society by powering the next generation of carbon-free mobility and clean, smart energy grids. Current battery materials are reaching their performance limits in terms of energy density and charging speed. This project aims to significantly improve those metrics by designing and producing a new […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet, le stagiaire mènera des entrevues avec des entreprises agroalimentaires et d’autres organisations qui produisent de grandes quantités de déchets organiques. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre leurs besoins, leurs défis et leur intérêt pour une solution locale qui transformerait ces déchets en biogaz renouvelable, pouvant remplacer une partie du gaz […]

Le projet a pour objectif de commercialiser LOTUS-X1, un banc de test universel pour puces électroniques alliant haute performance et coût réduit. Actuellement, les chercheurs en microélectronique doivent concevoir et programmer un banc de test spécifique pour chaque puce, ce qui mobilise un temps considérable et complique la reproductibilité. LOTUS-X1 centralise tous les outils, génération […]
