This project aims to create new types of hydrovoltaic generators, which are devices that produce electricity from small amounts of moisture in the air or water. While these generators are promising for clean energy and water treatment, current versions are not durable enough and cannot adapt well to changing environments. By combining my expertise in […]

Ventus Analytiques Inc. is a Canadian technology company specializing in offshore data systems and analytics, with a focus on marine environmental monitoring and renewable energy. As the company scales its operations and prepares for international deployments, there is a growing need for a cohesive cloud infrastructure and data operations strategy that can support a global […]

The Forever Group (TFG) is a 30-year-old Canadian owned and operated consumer-packaged-goods company that currently generates $2.5 million–$3 million in annual revenue across North America, the UK, Japan, and other export markets. To achieve its strategic goal of reaching $5 million–$10 million in the next three to five years, TFG must overcome the operational friction […]

Prosthetic knees are essential for transfemoral amputees, enabling more natural movement, reduced energy use, and increased independence. Active prosthetic knees (APKs), which use motor-powered actuation to mimic muscle function, further improve gait efficiency, balance, and weight distribution—benefits especially crucial for children. However, current APKs are designed for adults and are too heavy and bulky for […]

To date, using only electrophysiological data, Epiloid has achieved a classification accuracy in the low-90% in classifying drugs on their predicted ability to modulate hyperexcitability (as seen in epilepsy). This project seeks to enhance this accuracy by incorporating multi-omic datasets into Epiloid’s machine learning pipeline, which stands to dramatically assist in collecting a holistic picture […]

AI-Driven platform for measuring and tracking organizational collaboration and well-being to optimize effectiveness

Human blood contains a large collection of proteins that can provide insight for early detection and projection of disease. Global protein profiling is commonly enabled by mass spectrometry (or MS; a technology that identifies protein components by mass), but the identification of proteins in blood is challenging because of the sheer complexity of blood samples. […]

Modelling the movement of water through a hydropower station is an important tool for understanding this very complex behaviour, where water is pushed and pulled through long tunnels and spinning turbines, resulting in a vast range of pressures and speeds. There are generally two types of models: 1-dimensional (1D) models, which are simple and cost-effective, […]

The goal of this research project is the detailed design and optimization of a series of 10 Yielding Brace System (YBS) connectors that will eventually be made commercially available as a higher performance, earthquake resistant building system. The intern will design and optimize each connector, focusing on both the local behaviour of the device, through […]

Document redaction has long been a heavy manual work. When governments and companies need to make documents available either internally or externally, they would need to hire someone with enough professional background to manually cross-out the sensitive information in the documents. The process is both time consuming and expensive. Thanks to the fast advances in […]

Diabetic patients suffer from reduced sensation in their foot which will be leading to foot ulcers that are hard to treat, and often resulting in limb amputation. The existing health-care techniques usually fail to prevent foot ulcers because they cannot monitor the foot in real-time. In this work, we seek to develop smart socks based […]

Recovering oil from underground reservoirs carries environmental and financial risks that can be minimized with prior knowledge of what fluids are there and how to efficiently extract them. Currently, fluid flow behaviour can be measured at reservoir conditions in large pressurized vessels capable of up to 150 atmospheres and 300°C, but measurements can take weeks […]
