Project Overview – L2M – Validating Philosoph-AI’s AI Governance-as-a-Service (AI-GaaS) Platform / (Mitacs BSI 2026) Philosoph-AI Consulting Inc., based in Calgary and Geneva, is an emerging advisory firm specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) governance, ethics, and regulatory alignment. This project, led by Sandrine Berezowski (PhD candidate, University of Alberta) under the academic supervision of Dre. […]

Upper-limb assistive devices remain hard to use because control often feels unnatural and tiring, which leads to abandonment. The intern’s M.Sc. project proposes a non-invasive, vision-based control layer that links what the user looks at to objects in the real-world 3D environment and predicts natural hand paths and joint actions. This approach is intended to […]

This project focuses on commercializing a novel heat-based air disinfection technology. It aims to validate market needs, assess customer segments, and develop a viable business model to bring an energy-efficient purification solution to market, improving public health and making air disinfection affordable.

This project is creating a smart chat assistant that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help construction and engineering companies write accurate proposals, like bids for major jobs. The assistant is trained on the company’s successful past proposals, making it a secure, private expert. When a team uploads a new Request for Proposal (RFP), the assistant […]

This project aims to commercialize a computational biotechnology platform that simulates the structure and dynamics of cellular organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, at multiple scales. These systems play key roles in many cellular processes, and their malfunction is linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, and cancer. While experimental methods provide valuable insights, they […]

As part of the Lab2Market program, this project explores the commercialization potential of the group’s previous research pertaining to the use of computer vision, artificial intelligence and machine learning to precisely detect and identify seeds. Over the 4-month duration of the project, the team will participate in Lab2Market workshops, panels, and lectures from successful founders […]

The Beaufort Gyre (BG) is the largest freshwater reservoir in the Arctic Ocean. It is climatologically anticyclonic and governed by the Beaufort High. Its dynamics have a profound impact on the general circulation, and the possible release of freshwater has significant climate implications. The equilibrium state of the BG has been proposed to be governed […]

This project focuses on developing a ready-to-market Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Data Collection & Analysis System to improve the accuracy and efficiency of NDT assessment. By automating data collection and analysis, the system will reduce assessment costs by over 50%, making inspections faster and more reliable as well as providing asset maintenance advice and lifespan prediction. […]

Cancer is a complex disease that involves multiple changes in normal cell biology, all of them leading to increased and abnormal cell replication. Depending on the tissue type, this uncontrolled tissue growth ultimately causes organ malfunction and a wide variety of signs and symptoms which, all together, indicate a pathological state which needs to be […]

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is an umbrella term for diseases that affect the jaw. It is a common but often underdiagnosed condition that can cause significant jaw pain, limited movement, and long-term oral health issues. Accurate diagnosis relies heavily on the precise identification of tiny jaw structures in medical imaging, a task that remains challenging […]

We also commercialize AI-enabled products business via industry-specific ventures, yielding scalability from our investment in the first solution. AltaML’s Venture Studio […]

This project will test and improve Voiced Memories, a Canadian-made digital storytelling tool designed for older adults and caregivers. The platform allows people to pair personal photos with recorded voice stories, creating “digital memory galleries” that can be revisited, shared, and used to spark conversation. The research will take place in two settings: Memory Cafés […]
