iFormit Solutions Inc. develops accessible and cost-effective smart metering technologies aimed at improving transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency in utility consumption. Their solutions serve landlords, property managers, utility companies, and electric vehicle (EV) users who face challenges with the high cost and complexity of traditional smart metering systems. The core innovation, the iMID Connector, allows […]

Acid rain has severely impacted lakes and plant life in southwestern Nova Scotia. To help endangered Atlantic Salmon, powdered limestone (lime) is now being added to lakes to reduce acidity. While this helps aquatic ecosystems, we don’t yet know how it affects rare lakeshore plants that thrive in low-competition environments. This project studies how liming […]

This project tackles the lack of automation in sustainable construction practices, focusing specifically on rammed earth — an ancient technique now hindered by labor intensity and poor ergonomic conditions. Earth House Holdings, a BC-based ecological building firm, aims to introduce automation without compromising the low-carbon ethos of traditional earth construction. To address this, we propose […]

Our overarching goal of this project is to empower children with the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities needed to navigate and thrive in an AI-driven world, while fostering an understanding of ethical, safe, and trustworthy AI practices.

This project will combine graduate level research expertise with best-in-class managed detection and response security operations, to develop ‘collaborative intelligence’ oriented tooling, in order to support Security Operations Centre (SOC) personnel in rapidly assessing the threat potential of suspect command lines and similar text objects. From a recent analysis of SOC AI usage, it is […]

Anessa offers software solutions for different stages in the lifecycle of a biogas plant. Solutions include feasibility analysis, feedstock planning and optimization, and monitoring. This proposal focuses on improvements and advances in the areas of optimization and monitoring. As a biogas digester uses living bacteria to transform waste materials into gas and fertilizer, creating and […]

This project aims to characterize and standardize Relief Mx, a liquid designed for pain management. Relief Mx combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern pharmaceutical components as an alternative to steroid-based nerve block treatments. The formulation includes active ingredients extracted from four herbal medicines: Achyranthes bidentata, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle), and Dendrobium. This study will […]

Phosphorus-rich sludge generated from the chemical treatment of wastewater lagoons presents a significant challenge for municipalities without effective long-term sludge management strategies. This study explores the potential benefits of using composted phosphorus-rich chemical precipitated sludge as a soil amendment for agriculture. Sludge composted under controlled conditions and adequate bulking agents with the proper ratio to […]

Nova Scotia Health (NSH) is advancing healthcare by enhancing data management, optimizing decision-making, and improving patient care. This project addresses challenges such as administrative burdens, fragmented data systems, and limited predictive capabilities by implementing advanced data solutions for real-time insights, standardized data management, and predictive healthcare analytics. Through an agile, feedback-driven approach, these innovations will […]

This project aims to develop a bovine cell bank using Alberta beef to support the production of cultivated meat, a sustainable alternative to traditional meat farming. Instead of raising and slaughtering animals, cultivated meat is created by growing muscle and fat cells in a laboratory, providing real meat with a smaller environmental footprint. The research […]

The project aims to enhance energy efficiency of buildings by studying thermal break devices at the connection between balcony slabs and floor slab. The intern will design and build floor assembly incorporating the design with the help of the indutry partner. This assembly will be tested at Queen’s niversity to examine the strength and stability […]

This project is focused on reducing water pollution caused by phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) runoff from agricultural soils. Excessive nutrients entering water bodies can result in harmful algal blooms, negatively impacting ecosystems, especially in Areas of Concern near the Canadian Great Lakes. Building upon previous successful research, this study would like to continue for […]
