This project will explore how AI can best complement human expertise in cybersecurity operations. The intern will collaborate with industry professionals at eSentire to study how tasks are currently performed, develop lightweight AI-based tools to support key workflows, and design a method to assess the impact of these tools in real-world conditions. The goal is […]

This research falls at the intersection of the “data, economy and society” and the “digitalization, security and democracy” core research areas. It aims to tackle the consequences of cross-border data flows on democracy and individual’s security, while underlining the economic potential of this data. The research also exists in continuation of CIGI’s two essay series […]

The Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) is a national convener of city builders — policymakers, urban professionals, civic leaders, community advocates, and academics — who collaborate to advance inclusive, sustainable communities across Canada. Through this project, CUI seeks to address how Calgary can meet its net-zero emissions goals by 2050 through residential densification. The project models […]

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest type of cancer affecting the female reproductive system. While surgery and chemotherapy are commonly used to treat it, many patients experience a recurrence of the disease that no longer responds to treatment. Immunotherapy—a method that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer—has worked well in other cancers but not in […]

Flashana Technologies Inc. develops software products in retail supply chain, specifically predictive analytics for inventory management. Current challenges include: (1) Data harmonization, where manual field mapping consumes a large portion of onboarding time. (2) Algorithmic competitiveness, while competitors deploy classical forecasting, Flashana targets developing AI/ML integrates model that combines customer history with external factors to […]

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a promising technology for fabricating large metal components, but consistent thermal monitoring is challenging due to camera positioning variability. This project addresses that issue by developing two key systems: a pre-calibrated mounting jig and a fixed calibration fixture. The partner organization, which operates a WAAM system, requires precise camera […]

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 […]

The Canadian Lobster Research Network (CLRN) is a multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary research platform led by fishing associations throughout eastern Canada with the principal goal of supporting sustainable and profitable lobster fisheries in the face of rapid climate and ecosystem changes. The CLRN has its origins in the Lobster Node, an industry-driven collaborative research node under […]

This project aims to develop a physics-guided deep learning framework that can be used to further enhance the robustness of surface reflectance forecasting in Planet Fusion. We want to improve and refine existing temporal-driven gap-filling techniques in handling extensive cloud cover and dynamic land changes to avoid delays and reduced reliability of delivered insights to […]
