The proposed project aims to develop sustainable cellulose-based aerogels containing conductive materials like MXenes and graphene for electromagnetic interference shielding and energy storage applications. By exploring interfacial assembly mechanisms through advanced characterization techniques available at CEMES-CNRS, such as in-situ electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, the research will clarify how these materials form structured aerogels. Understanding […]

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à accompagner Skinaptiks dans la structuration de sa stratégie de mise en marché du dispositif SKIN’Cast™. À ce jour, l’ajustement des prothèses repose sur une approche subjective, impliquant des ajustements fréquents avant que le patient puisse retrouver son autonomie. Le SKIN’Cast™, un manchon de diagnostic équipé d’une peau électronique […]

This project will explore how to bring a new clean technology called Propel to market. Propel is a device that helps ships use less fuel by reducing how much they rock and move on the waves, while also turning that motion into clean electricity. The intern will talk to people in the shipping industry to […]

We are developing DePerio, a fast, non-invasive test that uses saliva and artificial intelligence to detect early signs of gum disease. Traditional dental methods are slow and only find problems after damage has occurred. Our solution uses a small chip and smart software to analyze immune cells in saliva, giving results in seconds. This tool […]

The proposed project focuses on developing and commercializing a novel method called Compressible Flow Exfoliation (CFE) for producing high-quality 2D materials like graphene and boron nitride. Traditional production methods are expensive, inefficient, and environmentally harmful, limiting their widespread use in industries such as electronics, energy storage, and composites. The CFE method offers a scalable, cost-effective, […]

Over 30% of deaths globally are reported to be caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD), making CVDs recognized as one of the leading causes of death annually by the World Health Organization.1 The high prevalence of CVD, in combination with the demographic shift towards an ageing population with high incidence of chronic diseases, make CVD a […]

This project explores innovative ways to convert agricultural residues (i.e., oat husks) into sustainable construction materials. Specifically, the research focuses on developing and validating cement replacement products derived from agro-waste, which can help reduce the carbon footprint of concrete, a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. The intern will work closely with both academic […]

Indoor air pollution has become a growing concern, especially in homes, schools, offices, and healthcare facilities where people spend most of their time. Existing commercial air purifiers are often limited in function, focusing on removing specific pollutants while requiring frequent manual filter replacements. Many are not compatible with HVAC systems and often produce noise and […]

The research project will use a case study approach at the proposed Transit Hub for the City of Kitchener. In its objectives, the research will focus on the opportunities for a high quality green public space/square to better integrate a new LRT line and a new GO/VIA rail station into the surrounding city. It will […]

This project will support the commercialization of a new electrochemical membrane (ECM) technology that actively prevents fouling in wastewater treatment systems, offering a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to conventional membranes. Through structured market research, stakeholder engagement, and techno-economic analysis, the project will identify high-potential market segments and build a clear commercialization roadmap. The partner organization will […]

The proposed Lab2Market internship program will support the intern, who is currently working with AraMill, in strengthening their understanding of validation processes vital for the commercialization of innovative lubrication solutions. The organization specializes in developing advanced, sustainable metallic solid lubricant coatings for machining tools, which significantly reduce friction and eliminate the need for traditional liquid […]

Ultracoustics Technologies Ltd. is developing ultrasensitive optical microphones to detect high-frequency sounds (20 kHz–2 MHz) for industrial applications like non-destructive testing (NDT) and leak detection. While the technology is proven, the company lacks market-ready products and a clear commercialization path. This Mitacs Business Strategy Internship project will bridge that gap by: (1) finalizing a certified […]
