Universal NanoSensor Technologies (UNS-Tech) develops and commercializes microfabricated conductivity detectors. In this MITACS project, UNS-Tech will partner with Prof. Cynthia to explore new detector architectures based on nano-particle and nano-shell films. The results will be analyzed and the findings will be published in scientific journals. The intern participating in this cluster will benefit from this […]

The organization partner is currently allocating video advertisement inside mobile applications. The mobile applications that publish the video advertisement are designated as publisher. To allocate the video advertisement inside the right mobile application, the potential publishers are manually searched in the Apple App store. This search process is a bottleneck. It also involves a lot […]
