This project explores how international teaching programs between Canadian universities and Antiguan schools can be designed in ways that are fair, respectful, and beneficial for everyone involved. The research focuses on the Antigua Champions for Health (ACH) program, where Canadian student-teachers work with Antiguan schools to support health and physical education. By listening to both […]

This project will test how well different DNA-based therapies work in the brain and body using a mouse model. Mice will receive either a high or low dose of the therapy, and their response will be tracked through imaging, blood tests, and tissue analysis. The goal is to measure how much of the DNA reaches […]

The proposed project outlines a collaboration between researchers at Queen’s University and engineers at Bombardier Inc. In this collaboration, researchers would develop new computational tools and methods for designing quiet aircraft with considerations for the total weight of the aircraft. The proposed Mitacs internships will strengthen collaboration efforts between Queen’s and Bombardier and facilitate use […]

This project aims to democratize access to advanced surgical navigation by developing an open-source, AI-enabled training and guidance system for ultrasound-guided kidney procedures. Built entirely within the free 3D Slicer platform, the system combines real-time tracking and deep-learning segmentation to help trainees and clinicians visualize kidney structures and plan safer, more precise punctures. The collaboration […]

This project will create a new framework that combines process simulations with environmental, economic, and social life cycle assessments to evaluate the sustainability of metal production and recycling processes. By extending current methods beyond environmental analysis to also include costs and social impacts, the project will provide a more complete understanding of how new metallurgical […]

Spine surgery often requires real-time X-ray images to guide surgical tools safely around delicate structures. However, using X-rays continuously during long operations can expose both patients and medical staff to unnecessary radiation. One way to reduce this risk is to use saved X-ray images for navigation rather than continuous exposure; however, this requires precise tool […]

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 […]

This project explores how countries are managing the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy, with a focus on just energy transitions that aim to provide an equitable transition for workers and local communities. The research focuses on Colombia’s national state-led just transition plan. By conducting on-the-ground fieldwork, the project will examine whether the financial […]

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. […]

With recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) designed for coding, Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering (AI4SE) remains pivotal in enhancing both developer productivity and software quality. However, to excel at more specialized SE tasks like code transformation, companies still need to optimize LLMs to their specific context to avoid LLMs’ tendency to “hallucinate”, i.e., […]

Water quality concerns, such as algae blooms, are common in many aquatic systems across the country. Increasing development along waterfront properties and climate change are leading stressors causing poor water quality. In this project, an intern will apply a three-dimensional computer model to help understand how these stressors are contributing to poor water in Mississippi […]
