This project aims to improve the delivery of omega-3 oils—nutrients that readily degrade during digestion, by developing soft liquid–liquid capsules that protect these oils as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. Initial formulation and testing will be conducted at the University of Waterloo, where capsules will be created to achieve high stability and controlled release. […]

This project will contribute to the design and building of the systems behind our clinical-facing applications for automated point-of-care ultrasound interpretation. Working closely with our product, AI, and regulatory teams, the project focuses on building real-time respiratory imaging tools that bring immediate diagnostic answers to patients — whether at the bedside, in the back of […]

The aim of this project is to study and develop the formalism of spacetime superposition. The focus will be to understand the behaviour of simple quantum systems in the vicinity of black hole horizons. In this physical scenario, both quantum theory and general relativity remain valid, but the question of what happens cannot be answered […]

This project addresses the challenge of designing compact, field-deployable electrolyzer systems for producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a safe and effective antimicrobial agent with growing relevance in wound care, humanitarian response, and combat casualty care. Despite HOCl’s broad-spectrum efficacy and favorable safety profile, current production systems are bulky, proprietary, and poorly suited to decentralized use. The […]

The intern listed (Divena Raina) on this particular application will work alongside the Government of Alberta on the Smart Document Extraction Agent team. The goal of a Government of Alberta Redaction Assistant would be to empower the government to handle sensitive information and access requests with greater eff iciency and security. ? Focus: using the […]

Goosechase is a Canadian platform that helps schools, nonprofits, and businesses run interactive, mission-based activities like onboarding, orientation, museum tours, and team training. Today, creating these experiences and checking large numbers of photo, video, and text submissions is slow and manual, especially in education, where safety and privacy are critical. This project will build AI […]

1QBit is midway through our effort to create a software suite (Topological Quantum Architecture Design (TopQAD)) that automates quantum architecture design and enables you to study the impact of quantum algorithm and FTQC component design choices on resource requirements. It can be used to support scientific research, product development, and quantum computing policy and investment […]

Plastic video laryngoscope blades are essential tools that doctors use to help patients breathe during surgery. Like many other medical devices, these blades are made from strong plastics but are meant to be used only once and then thrown away to prevent contamination and protect patient safety. This research project will investigate whether single-use plastic […]

This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]

This project aims to make assistive robots smarter and easier to use for people with limited mobility. Researchers will develop a new type of control system for a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm that helps users complete everyday tasks like grabbing objects, opening drawers, or pressing buttons. Using advanced artificial intelligence, the system will learn through realistic […]

Vision-language models (VLMs) are considered augmentations of text-only large language models (LLMs) with additional access to the visual world. However, it is known that VLMs typically perform worse than text-only LLMs on reasoning tasks that involve only text (e.g., math word problems), raising the question of whether the benefits of visual augmentation justify the loss […]

Despite numerous system interventions, emergency department (ED) wait times at Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) remain a critical challenge. As part of an Innovation Partnership Procurement by Co-Design initiative led jointly with the University of Waterloo under the CareNext Coalition, WRHN is now engaging vendors and internal stakeholders to co-develop novel interventions that improve patient […]
