There are disproportionate number of Federal Contaminated Sites found within Indigenous communities across Canada. As Indigenous peoples have unique ties to their lands, which serve as a means of sustainability and sovereignty, the impact of industrial processes on soil and vegetation within settlements is of utmost importance. This applied research project aims to address these […]

Small packs of vitamin and mineral dense gummy candies which are formulated to cater for those on gender affirming hormone treatment (GAHT). The product formulation is to be designed around a biochemistry-focused literary review model which maps hormonal pathway connections to vitamin and mineral needs. Additional research will be done on gummy composition to maximize […]

This project focuses on developing a long-endurance autonomous multirotor drone capable of performing continuous aerial operations for emergency response, environmental monitoring, and remote delivery. It addresses the critical gap between costly manned helicopters—which can cost over $50,000 per hour and operate for only a few hours—and short-range electric drones that can fly for less than […]

This project aims to make a fun, game-based screening tool that helps detect Parkinson’s disease by assessing motor and cognitive function without needles, expensive tests, or stressful doctor visits. Users play a multi level drawing game on a computer or tablet while our artificial intelligence analyzes their handwriting and movements to predict disease risk. This […]

Uncontrolled atmospheric, fixed-roof tanks often “breathe” straight to air through relief valves and hatches, releasing methane. Many small or remote sites can’t justify flares or VRUs, so we’re developing a Selective PSRV, a membrane-based vent that lets nitrogen and oxygen out while holding back methane and heavier hydrocarbons. In our Lab2Market Validate work we spoke […]

S3 Technical Inc., a growing manufacturer of aluminum and stainless-steel cladding products for the oil and gas industry, is undertaking a project to improve its internal processes and support continued growth. The company plans to update its standard operating procedures, work toward COR certification, and develop a Human Resources Management System (HRMS) to streamline onboarding […]

This project focuses on developing solar shingles that act as both a roofing material and a clean energy generator. The goal of this project is to refine the product design, build a go-to-market plan, and create a path to commercialization. These shingles are made from recycled materials and designed to be durable, weather-resistant, and visually […]

This project will support the business and market development of Conserve Tree, an innovative retrofit medical device designed to optimize oxygen therapy management in hospitals. The intern will help the company identify its target market, gather feedback from hospitals, and develop a business plan to support product launch across Canada and internationally. This work will […]

The purpose of this project is to expand on an automatic walker braking system prototype. The system is intended to cause the medical walker to brake during sit-to-stand, stand-to-sit, and loss of contact situations through the help of sensors and motors. Currently, the system in functioning reasonably well but could use improvements from an accuracy, […]

This project aims to develop a nutritious, high-protein, and allergen-friendly plant-based snacks using lupin, a legume grown in some part of Canada (Specially Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba). By working with NAIT’s Culinary Centre of Innovation, I will finalize the recipe, verify nutritional content, test shelf life, and ensure the product meets the needs of health-conscious consumers. […]

This project will refine the formulation of four gourmet marshmallow flavours for improved stability, develop a vegan version that closely replicates the original, assess shelf life using sensory and quantitative tests, and produce compliant packaging with nutritional information. It supports innovation in Alberta’s food manufacturing sector by advancing a high-quality, plant-based confectionery product. The work […]

Dudh is a new beverage innovation that reimagines traditional Indian milk drinks for the modern North American market. This research-based project explores the development of a carbonated, dairy-based drink infused with familiar South Asian flavours such as rose, saffron, and cardamom. Aimed at second-generation Indian-Canadian consumers and the broader multicultural market, Dudh blends nostalgia with […]
