This project’s goals include optimizing and documenting the development of zwitterionic hydrogels that will be used as injectable hydrogels to substitute current hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplements to treat osteoarthritis. During this internship, the intern will be able to work on the synthesis, characterization, purification, and packaging of zwitterionic hydrogels and document these protocols by establishing standard […]

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.

Over six million people living in Canada have arthritis, making it one of the most common chronic conditions. The condition significantly impacts activities of daily living, workplace participation, and it is the leading cause of disability. Living with arthritis leads to pain and physical impairments and people with arthritis can self-identify as living with a […]

Pediatric therapists struggle to obtain accurate grip strength measurements because current tools were originally designed for adults. These tools require excessive hand strength and fail to engage children, leading to unreliable data. As a result, therapists often resort to subjective estimates, making it difficult to track progress, tailor treatment plans, or justify therapy to insurance […]

This project focuses on the development, testing, and validation of next-generation solid lubricant coatings for cutting tools designed for hard-to-cut materials commonly used in aerospace and automotive industries. Traditional machining processes often rely on oil- and water-based lubricants, leading to excessive waste, environmental contamination, and increased operational costs. By introducing advanced solid lubricant coatings, this […]

This project investigates how menopause influences brain function by comparing blood flow in pre- and post-menopausal women. Estrogen plays a crucial role in protecting the vascular system; however, as women transition through menopause and estrogen levels decline, the risk of diseases such as stroke and vascular dementia increases significantly. I will conduct research at Bangor […]

This project aims to characterize and analyze the Community Health Dataset using AI techniques. This dataset, sourced from the Cambridge Community Services Trust, contains electronic health records (EHRs) of 111,317 children and young people aged 0–18 years, covering the period from 2007 to 2021. The significance of this project lies in several key aspects: (1) […]

This collaborative research project between McMaster University’s Materials Science and Engineering department and Grenoble INP Phelma’s SIMaP laboratory aims to investigate the development of accurate strain measurement techniques using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

This project will provide a marketing intern with hands-on experience supporting Acuity Insights’ business growth and expansion into new markets. The intern will conduct market research, analyze engagement data, assist with event marketing, and optimize marketing processes to help Acuity improve its outreach and impact in the education technology sector. Their work will contribute to […]

By systematically reviewing and analyzing existing literature and data on postpartum mental health in Japanese women, this research project aims to understand the cultural expectations of motherhood and perceptions of mental health on mothers in Japan, and how this may impact the uptake of support and public health interventions in the Japanese context. The research […]

The proposed project aims to develop an illustrated children’s book to educate youth on the importance of climate action, which has become increasingly importance due to the consequences of anthropogenic climate change. This project aims to develop a book that instills ecological and emotional literacy in order to empower youth to take action against climate […]

Understanding the needs of patients and the gaps in the current treatment options is critical to creating improved products for these conditions. This project will identify conditions where there is a strong product-market fit using OptimEyes’ proprietary drug delivery nanoparticle platform to address these limitations. These results will inform in-lab R&D activities that will create […]
