VirtualSLP is an AI-powered platform transforming care for patients with neurologic speech disorders. Conditions such as ALS often cause bulbar impairments—loss of speech, swallowing, and facial expression—that devastate quality of life. Yet clinicians, particularly speech-language pathologists (SLPs), face overwhelming barriers: caseloads as high as 600 patients per year, only 15–20 minutes per visit, and no […]

Older adults have difficulty keeping track of the frequency of their dosage as well as opening the medication packaging. Nonadherence to prescribed medication can lead to hospitalization which increases the burden of care both for the patients and the medication system. Our solution, Pillsette, is a smart medication adherence device that offers a reusable pill […]

Petroleum-based plastics are recalcitrant and pervasive environmental contaminants. Recycling only recovers 9% of post-consumer plastic, the rest is landfilled, incinerated, or discharged into the environment. While most plastic recycling methods convert plastic into lower value products, biocatalytic plastic depolymerization to component monomers then available for resynthesis of valuable products is an attractive alternative. Biocatalyst-based recycling […]

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 […]
