Spero Analytics is a research-driven IoT startup which builds mesh networks for automated, continuous surveillance of greenhouse gas emissions in landfills and energy facilities. As those networks are power efficient and operate using radio communication, they can be deployed in remote industrial areas with limited cellular/power infrastructure. The existing system architecture consists of a gateway […]

Aston Dynamics Canada Limited (Aston Dynamics) is working on improving electro-hydraulic braking (EHB) systems for electric and heavy-duty vehicles. The company has already made significant progress in solving key issues like slow braking response, reliability, and limited braking force. They’ve developed and tested prototypes that show better braking control and efficiency, especially for electric vehicles, […]

Trebble.fm is building the next generation of AI-powered audio and video editing software for everyday creators. The primary objective of this project is to implement a practical classifier system that can determine whether a section of an edited audio file sounds natural after text-based editing operations. Our approach will be focused on building a production-ready […]

This project, in partnership with SimplyCast, aims to create a smart waste management solution to help the City of Regina reduce landfill waste and support its sustainability goals. Despite having waste collection schedules and reminders in place, many residents still lack the tools and awareness needed to reduce waste effectively. By using SimplyCast’s no-code automation […]

This research project aims to develop an AI-powered essay grading system that is both cost-effective and highly accurate. The project will explore how a dual-agent AI system, one that optimizes the cost and another that performs prompt refinement, can improve automated essay scoring at scale. By using advanced techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and […]

We propose the construction of novel ultrasound transducer structures based on existing MEMS technology that has been in development through collaboration between Micralyne and Prof. Roger Zemp. We will be exploring linear array transducers intended for medical imaging, and individual transducers for automotive use for ultrasound range finding. We will undertake the design, modelling, fabrication, […]

Despite advancements in women’s health diagnostics, cervical cancer screening rates remain critically low due to the invasive nature of traditional collection methods like Pap smears and self-swabs. CELLECT is pioneering a non-invasive, nanotechnology-enabled collection device—the CELLECTPad—that passively captures high-quality cervical and epithelial cells during menstruation. By removing the discomfort and accessibility barriers of existing methods, […]

To research, develop and innovative upon existing and new image processing & calibration software for an ultra-resolution (up to 100MPx) multi-projection digital display. The solution is to be made to be distributable for embedding into custom in-line FPGA hardware to further enable high-speed parallel processing and eliminate bottlenecks in data communication.

The VT-PATCH project addresses a crucial gap in pediatric healthcare by introducing a user-friendly medical patch designed for short-term, continuous monitoring of infants and young children. Unlike the current complex system of multiple devices and wires, the VT-PATCH offers an all-in-one solution to measure vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, and […]

This project, part of the Global AI Alliance for Climate Action, aims to improve how the USA National Phenology Network (USA-NPN) collects and balances seasonal plant and animal data. By using large language models (LLMs) and AI-driven workflows, the project will help guide citizen scientists toward underrepresented species and locations, addressing gaps in the current […]

The objective of the proposed research project is to build and demonstrate a fuel-powered contactless power transfer (CPT) system. This system is comprised of two units: an emitter and a receiver. The emitter, which can be heated using different fuels (including oil, gasoline, hydrogen, biodiesel) emits radiant energy over a distance to the receiver, which […]

This research seeks to improve gas turbine engine components, focusing on dynamic seals that withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, pressures, and abrasive particles, to enhance aircraft performance and durability. Current carbon-based materials used in seals like segmented seals—designed to prevent oil leakage—are vulnerable to degradation, which can lead to engine damage and costly […]
