This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for solving PDEs, fractional equations, and eigenvalue problems, making them particularly suited for quantum mechanics, where traditional numerical methods often face computational bottlenecks. The aim of this internship is to analyse the applicability of PINNs to a broad range of quantum simulation tasks such as […]

Lululemon develops and markets athletic apparel including women’s bras. Some women experience difficulty finding the appropriate bra to achieve adequate support without discomfort [1]. Lululemon is experienced in tissue biomechanics models of the breast including measurement of tissue movement, forces and accelerations in an effort to better understand the complex issues around bra performance. Nevertheless, […]

Stratospheric balloons operate above more than 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, allowing astronomers to observe colours of light that would otherwise be blocked or blurred by the atmosphere at only a tiny fraction of the cost of an equivalent space telescope. However, it is very challenging to ensure that to telescopes are pointing the right […]

New rocket share technology has made putting things in space (particularly in low orbits around the Earth) cheaper than ever before. In this project the student intern will help to prepare a new type of small satellite, the InspireSAT from StarSpec Technologies Inc., which will have a first launch in late June or July 2026. […]

Haiqu Inc. focuses on building a quantum software stack enabling more efficient development and execution of quantum applications on near-term and early fault tolerant quantum computers. Simulations of quantum chemistry and condensed matter models are one of the primary early uses cases for quantum processors (QPUs), with benefits for chemistry and materials science. Important open […]

The One Okanagan Watershed project explores sustainable financing mechanisms to support regenerative practices and watershed security in the Okanagan River basin. Led by SFU ACT – Action on Climate Team and Salmon Nation CoLabs, the project has fostered the Okanagan Catalyst Network, engaging diverse stakeholders, including regenerative farmers, organic wineries, Indigenous groups, NGOs, universities, and […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

X-ray CT scanners and Magnetic Resonance Imaging have been described as the most important advances in medical technology in the last century. Further improvements in CT scanners will be possible with CZT photon counting detectors which are being implemented in next generation CT scanners. Improvements enabled by photon counting CZT detectors include faster imaging, meaning […]

The overarching goal of this project is to develop optimized instrumentation and methods for the detection of potent drugs such as fentanyl. SCATR Inc. is a company that develops hardware and software innovative solutions for drug checking with the goal to reduce the harm caused by the use of unknown substances. The collaboration between SCATR […]

This project is geared towards the development of a cost-effective method to fabricate thin films of carbon materials, such as diamond. The idea is to use solution-based methods coupled to electrochemistry to produce the films. Avenues for the deposition of the film on surfaces of arbitrary shapes will also be explored. Carbon based thin films, […]

A coal mine operating on the Snuneymuxw First Nation reserve lands between 1913 and 1939 has left mine waste that has contaminated the soil, sediment, groundwater and surface water with metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Human health and ecological assessments are being conducted in the area to determine how best to deal with the […]
