This project aims to enhance and expand a comprehensive framework for holistic technology integration tailored to Indigenous values and needs. The first year will involve developing a detailed research plan, establishing relationships with key community stakeholders, and securing necessary permissions and ethical approvals. The project will then conduct primary consultations and interviews with community members, […]

Reinforcement Learning (RL) driven Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is revolutionizing layout placement optimization for integrated circuits, enabling a faster design process. By incorporating the RL techniques, we enhance the historically precise yet labor-intensive process for smart integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. This innovative approach streamlines IC design, accounting for factors such as foggy and proximity effects, […]

Our technology surrounds the development of nanogel-based delivery systems to enhance the efficacy and stability of cosmetic products for skin care. Nanogels encapsulate active ingredients, protecting them from degradation and sustained release on the skin surface. This can act as a delivery system to ensure beneficial compounds’ controlled and sustained release, maximizing their impact. The […]

Within the organization, roles include associate machine learning developer, business development associate, communications associate and finance associate. Within GovLab specifically, roles include associate machine learning developer, associate business solutions consultant, and project delivery associate. The […]

Printed electronics has the potential to deliver low-cost, high-volume fabrication of electronic devices, but is currently held back by the lack of a specialized quality control solution. Today, verification of functional properties such as conductivity is done with teams of technicians using simple multimeter probes, lacking the speed and accuracy required to characterize roll-to-roll production. […]

Waste paper is considered to have no value, destined for landfills. There is significant potential to process this waste and convert it to value added carbon-based products that will be developed, tested, and produced, namely Biochar, activated carbon, and carbon electrodes. Biochar is used in the agriculture industry for soil remediation to promote plant growth, […]

Collabrix AI is developing a platform to connect startups and SMEs with student teams for project execution. By using an AI algorithm to match projects with the right student teams, Collabrix AI helps businesses access flexible, affordable talent while providing students with valuable real-world experience. This project aims to validate the market need for such […]

Nearly 90% of drug candidates fail during the drug design and development process, resulting in exorbitant costs to bring a new drug to market. Our technology, LigandQI, addresses the critical shortcomings in current computational drug design programs by leveraging ab initio quantum chemistry to quantify ligand-receptor interactions with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike traditional methods, our program […]

Implementation of Canada Digital Adoption Program technology & process recommendations

An asset management plan and policy serve as crucial tools for organizations aiming to optimize their asset utilization and management. These plans and policies provide a roadmap for maintaining and upgrading assets, ensuring cost-efficiency, and enhancing operational reliability. By implementing a well-structured asset management plan, organizations can make informed decisions regarding asset lifecycle management, reduce […]

This Mitacs Business Strategy Internship (BSI) Grant Application is focused on developing an analytical assay for detecting several breast cancer (BC) markers in serum. As an upgrade to the existing methods for quantifying BC serum markers, we aim to integrate several electrodes on the same sensor platform that will be bio-engineered to target one type […]

Le projet proposé vise à développer un appareil portable, non invasif, sans fil et rentable pour la surveillance continue en temps réel de l’activité respiratoire et cardiaque. Cet appareil aidera à diagnostiquer et à surveiller les maladies en fournissant des mesures continues de la fréquence respiratoire avec une précision comparable aux normes médicales, ce qui […]
