This project focuses on exploring how a new diagnostic technology—magnetic Pickering nanoemulsions—can help improve the way we understand fluid flow in underground rock formations, such as those found in oil and gas reservoirs. These nanoemulsions are tiny droplets that are stable under harsh conditions and can be tracked using magnetic tools, making them useful for […]

We are developing a novel microfluidic platform designed to enable efficient concentration of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from biological fluids such as plasma, serum, etc. This system reduces sample volumes from 1–10?ml down to less than 100?µl without the need for bulky instrumentation or centrifugation, offering a scalable and user-friendly alternative to conventional methods. By leveraging […]

This project aims to help BioAro Inc., a Calgary-based biotech startup, promote its two new health products—PanOmiQ and BioSport—by improving how they reach and connect with customers. The project will help BioAro to research the market, identify who the ideal customers are, and create engaging content and strategies to raise awareness. The project will aim […]

This project aims to design a compact carbon capture system that can help small and mid-sized breweries reuse the CO2 they produce during fermentation. Over four months, the project will develop detailed system designs, technical drawings, and cost estimates to prepare the technology for real-world use. The work will also explore how the system can […]

We are developing a compact, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform engineered specifically for operation in GPS-denied, confined, and hazardous environments. Designed for use in search and rescue (SAR), industrial inspection, infrastructure monitoring, etc., the platform addresses key limitations of conventional drones and ground robots, which often struggle with maneuverability, stability, and situational awareness in […]

Public transit agencies in Canada often struggle to accurately measure and predict ridership patterns due to limited and incomplete data. Traditional methods typically rely on a single data source, which makes it hard to get a clear view of how people move across the transit network. Without this information, agencies find it challenging to match […]

We are developing a novel, low-cost microfluidic detection chip for rapid bacterial detection in milk, addressing critical needs in both maternal health and the dairy industry. Bacterial contamination in milk poses significant health and economic risks, from mastitis in breastfeeding mothers to large-scale spoilage in dairy production. Current diagnostic methods, such as culture-based assays, are […]

This project focuses on advancing a carbon-negative biomass conversion technology that produces two high-impact products: a bio-based solvent for industrial and energy applications, and hydrochar for use as a regenerative soil amendment. Over four months, the intern will support the development of application-specific product formulations, engage with potential customers and offtakers to validate product-market fit, […]

In industry, a wide range of specialized software is used for optimization, design, and simulation across sectors such as oil and gas, with significant adoption in regions like Alberta. These simulation tools are powerful but require users to possess advanced knowledge of mathematics, physics, and coding. Setting up and running simulations can therefore be complex, […]

This project aims to develop a sensor that uses electromagnetic waves to monitor the water content (water cut) in oil production systems in real time. The sensor has already been tested in a lab environment and shows promising results in detecting changes in water levels in oil–water mixtures. Through this project, I will work with […]

For disabled people to be enabled to drive they need the use of assistive technology. Between Canada and the US there are 47.3 million people who have disabilities related to lost leg functioning. 60% of these people use adaptive devices to drive. The technology that exists in North America requires the driver to have one […]
