PopIn is a mobile platform that helps people discover and connect with others at live events and local venues. Whether someone is at a networking mixer, tech meetup, or community event, PopIn shows who’s around, what they’re up for, and who wants to meet — making real-world connections easier and more inclusive. This internship will […]

Oilseeds and grains are considered to be excellent sources of non-animal proteins containing the appropriate essential amino acids required for optimal human health. Conventional protein production methods involve the use of solvents, concentrated acids and alkali that result in protein denaturation, thereby reducing the quality and functionality of the protein ingredients. The proposed project will […]

Vapor cell technology is the backbone of a wide range of atomic sensors. This project aims to improve the functionality of vapor cells for Rydberg atom radio frequency detection. The main goal of the work is to test vapor cells whose interior walls are coated with materials that passivate the surfaces so as to eliminate […]

Developing quantum-enhanced LiDAR requires a deep understanding of the water medium’s optical properties, which vary with environmental factors. To address this, an oceanic model was created to estimate system performance based on water’s scattering and absorption traits, though it currently simplifies these as identical. In the proposed project, this will be refined. System analysis is […]

Biocovers are earthen structures built into landfills and other industrial facilities to collect and degrade greenhouse gas emissions from the site. They are widely considered one of the most effective ways to combat methane. In order to assess the performance of those biocovers, operators have to attend to the biocover regularly and use a flux […]

This project aims to help Rogers Communications bring real-world AI and Generative AI solutions to life across Business units like Customer Care, Network, HR, Rogers Business. A team of eight interns from the University of Waterloo will work with Roger’s Data & AI Strategy team to turn identified promising use cases into working solutions. Their […]

This project will explore the use of quantum technologies to simulate physical systems relevant to particle physics, with a focus on neutrino behavior. The goal is to build an analog quantum simulator: a special device whose components are designed to naturally follow the dynamics of the system being studied. The platform will be superconducting circuits, […]

Quantum technologies are today at the forefront of scientific research, as they are expected to have a very strong impact in numerous fields. The primary objective in both research groups, the QPSA lab and the NPQO lab is to develop the physical building blocks necessary for quantum communication. Many different quantum systems are currently being […]

Access to clean water is a critical global challenge, with billions facing water scarcity or contamination. This project aims to develop a sustainable water purification system that uses solar energy to convert contaminated or salty water into clean water, offering a low-cost, off-grid solution for rural and resource-limited communities. The system will use solar-driven interfacial […]

This project focuses on validating the real-world use and integration of an advanced, AI-enabled platform designed to improve prenatal care through early detection of conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Rather than simply testing technical performance, the project places strong emphasis on human factors engineering and understanding how healthcare professionals interact with new technology […]

Contemporary machine learning has been very successfully applied to processing static images and words in consumer applications, resulting in billions of dollars in recent acquisitions of machine learning companies by Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Google. However, applications to dynamic information (e.g. movies, controlling robotics) has been less well-developed. In this project, will develop and apply […]

Violent online content and radicalization have become so pervasive that it is contributing to the polarization of political discourse, a fraying of the social fabric, and to widespread human rights violations. Moonshot is devoted to ending online harms and protecting vulnerable individuals. It has developed and built technological tools to help governments identify and disrupt […]
