Laetech is developing novel technology for the treatment and reconstruction of soft tissue. Specifically, Laetech is harnessing the regenerative capacity of cells found in a patients own fat tissue. Due to the abundance of fat and relative confidence of harvesting it, fat derived cells have become a large area of interest for researchers and commercialization […]

Ever-growing concerns related to affordable housing and climate change in Canada and beyond have necessitated innovative approaches in the construction industry. The construction industry is poised for new technologies that will address the housing crisis, particularly in northern and remote areas, and mitigate infrastructure needs in flood-prone areas (e.g., retaining walls). Additive manufacturing, also known […]

This project is an undertaking in coordination with Minerva Canada, some of its industry partners and seven Canadian universities which aims to address a gap between industry and the graduates of engineering programs in terms of attitudes, knowledge and applied skills pertaining to health & safety in engineering practice. Upon completion, the project’s end product […]

This project aims to use generative AI models to improve challenging tasks in computational chemistry and optimization. More specifically, by combining quantum computing with machine learning, the research will focus on generative AI methods to design molecules for accelerating drug discovery pipelines. Novel quantum subroutines for hybrid quantum-classical models will be designed, developed, implemented and […]

The project will consist of helping develop the core product of the company, which is a Virtual Reality (VR) application containing activities that mimic the type of exercises done in speech therapy sessions. The premise of the product is to have a library of activities that target different communication skills, allowing its users to practice […]

The objective is to expand on current collision avoidance path planning frameworks in a two-fold manner, improving prediction as well as decision-making components. The first task is to improve prediction models and generate maneuver bands for air traffic circuit navigation. The second task is to then improve the decision-making framework to select the pseudo-optimal maneuver, […]

MedMe Health is pursuing further growth within Canada, especially in Quebec, and prepares for expansion into new markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The company’s customer onboarding process is currently cumbersome and manual, which affects scalability and limits customers’ control over account management.
