ESI’s current focus is product research and development (R&D), and commercialization activities. The R&D pipeline furthers the technology (hardware, software), systems, and collects/analyzes the data required to ensure device operations and regulatory compliance. Device R&D will refine and miniaturize the metasurface, enhance antennae, and complete software integration (signal and image processing, hardware integration, AI-driven decision-making). […]

Livesens is building the Urban Nervous System: a vehicle-mounted sensing layer that turns everyday fleet movement into real-time street visibility. As vehicles drive their normal routes, we capture basic mobility signals (where movement slows, where stops cluster, how travel time changes by time of day) and convert them into clear corridor outputs like travel time […]

This project will help Harvest Systems improve how the performance of its waste heat recovery technology is tracked and reported. By creating a secure system that automatically aggregates and analyzes data from installed units, the project will generate clear reports on energy savings and system performance. This will help restaurants lower energy costs and reduce […]

This project will involve designing and building an internal analytics system that helps Staccato better understand how users interact with its AI music creation product. The student will help define what product data should be collected, add tracking inside the software, and build a dashboard that turns this data into clear, useful metrics. This will […]

This project will focus on engaging an intern Intern to work with our team on producing best-in-class 3D bioprinting inks. In this project, the intern will be positioned within our core team, providing support across multiple product development and quality assurance functions. As part of the start-up experience, the intern will also be involved in […]

This project aims to aid in the development of a new Canadian startup creating technology to support cultural heritage conservation. Market research is required to validate the proposed technology, ensure the prototype is well-suited for user needs, and potentially increase the customer base by expanding to sectors outside heritage conservation. Through this project, the intern […]

Tression is a Canadian health-focused apparel company preparing to launch a new category of graduated compression garments designed to support everyday wellness. As the company transitions from product development to commercialization, it requires structured systems to support scalable growth across marketing, customer experience, and clinical partnerships. This project will focus on designing and implementing a […]

This project will help reduce the market and adoption risk for our rapid-manufacture, bioactive dermal regeneration cell-sheet technology for complex wounds such as extensive full-thickness burns. Over four months, the intern will speak with key stakeholder to confirm the most important unmet needs, identify the best first clinical use case, and clarify what proof and […]

The goal of this project is to create a next-generation biodegradable coronary stent for people treated after a heart attack. It will provide strong but temporary support to keep the artery open while it heals, then gradually dissolve over time to prevent a long-term implant. It also has a surface coating to speed the formation […]

Eye-tracking reveals otherwise invisible aspects of human attention, emotion, and social interaction, but current systems are limited by expensive hardware and complex analysis workflows that restrict use to small, controlled groups. SocialEyes is a peer-reviewed research technology that enables synchronized eye-tracking across large co-located groups by aligning multiple data streams in time and space. The […]

This project aims to develop an accurate model of an industrial polymerization process using a minimal number of experiments. The approach combines basic physical understanding of the process with data-driven modeling techniques to efficiently capture process behavior. An adaptive experimental design strategy will be used, where each experiment is chosen based on results from previous […]

Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in men, and the most common complication of this cancer is metastasis to bone, particularly, to the vertebrae. Mineral ellipsoids, a recently identified structural component of bone, are largely uncharacterized at both the structural and chemical level. Although these structures have been identified in mouse and human bone, […]
