A Greener Path to Pure Water: Engineering a High-Performance Laser Induced Graphene Oxide based Membrane for Heavy Metal Removal

This project aims to aid in the development of a new Canadian startup creating technology to support cultural heritage conservation. Market research is required to validate the proposed technology, ensure the prototype is well-suited for user needs, and potentially increase the customer base by expanding to sectors outside heritage conservation. Through this project, the intern […]

This project aims to evaluate the industrial need and market readiness for an Autonomous additive manufacturing system (AAMS) designed to improve the quality, consistency, and efficiency of metal additive manufacturing. By engaging directly with industry partners across key sectors, the project will identify where production variability, defects, and reliance on highly skilled operators create the […]

Tression is a Canadian health-focused apparel company preparing to launch a new category of graduated compression garments designed to support everyday wellness. As the company transitions from product development to commercialization, it requires structured systems to support scalable growth across marketing, customer experience, and clinical partnerships. This project will focus on designing and implementing a […]

L’OBV Yamaska a longtemps été une référence dans la région sur la qualité de l’eau. Cependant, dans les dernières années, une diminution des effectifs a réduit la portée de ses interventions dans la sphère agricole. L’agriculture constitue pourtant un pôle économique et culturel important dans la région et est responsable d’une partie des contaminants présents […]

This project will help BioPolatis turn their 100% compostable bioplastics into a market-ready product. The intern will research potential customers, test business ideas, and develop a clear commercialization strategy. By the end of the project, BioPolatis will have actionable steps to grow their business, scale production, and enable companies to adopt sustainable packaging solutions. This […]

This project will help reduce the market and adoption risk for our rapid-manufacture, bioactive dermal regeneration cell-sheet technology for complex wounds such as extensive full-thickness burns. Over four months, the intern will speak with key stakeholder to confirm the most important unmet needs, identify the best first clinical use case, and clarify what proof and […]

The goal of this project is to create a next-generation biodegradable coronary stent for people treated after a heart attack. It will provide strong but temporary support to keep the artery open while it heals, then gradually dissolve over time to prevent a long-term implant. It also has a surface coating to speed the formation […]

The intern will assist Heritage Vancouver Society in documenting and evidencing a cultural landscapes based approach to urban heritage planning, consultation and advocacy, using site-based archival research, urban sketching, and the production of companion digital stories documenting sites of cultural heritage value in the City of Vancouver. The research and site visual documentation will be […]

Eye-tracking reveals otherwise invisible aspects of human attention, emotion, and social interaction, but current systems are limited by expensive hardware and complex analysis workflows that restrict use to small, controlled groups. SocialEyes is a peer-reviewed research technology that enables synchronized eye-tracking across large co-located groups by aligning multiple data streams in time and space. The […]

Stormwater ponds are widely used across urban areas to improve water quality, yet their actual long-term performance under different design standards remains poorly quantified. This project will evaluate how efficiently these ponds remove sediment and associated pollutants by applying a mass-balance approach and tracking deposition rates through time. Although the technology is assumed to work, […]

This project aims to advance the commercialization strategy of a closed-loop microneedle-based biosensing platform for real-time therapeutic drug monitoring. The technology integrates hydrogel microneedles with electrochemical aptamer-based sensors to continuously measure drug concentrations in interstitial fluid and enable adaptive dosing. Initially developed for vancomycin monitoring, the platform addresses critical limitations of conventional therapeutic drug monitoring, […]
