This project explores the use of GNSS reflectometry as a simple way to observe local sea conditions from the shoreline. The work focuses on understanding how signals from navigation satellites can be used to estimate changes in sea level and surface state without placing equipment in the water. During the internship we will study the […]

Disinfection is essential across households, industries, agriculture, and healthcare. But, choosing the right chemical disinfectant raises concerns, as residues, volatile compounds, and microbial resistance often force us to switch chemicals or increase dosages. What if we could disinfect without adding chemicals? Our project explores this possibility by altering the chemistry of air and water using […]

This project will explore the market needs for a new automated CO2 loading tester, a device designed to make carbon capture systems easier, safer, and more cost-effective to operate. The intern will interview potential users (e.g., engineering firms, research labs, and early adopters) to understand the challenges they face and the features they need most. […]

This project focuses on developing an innovative, smart, interactive toy robot for children aged 3 to 8. The robot combines emotional intelligence, educational content, and safety monitoring to provide a healthier alternative to mobile device usage. It serves as a companion that can recognize a child’s mood, offer adaptive learning activities, and detect environmental hazards […]

Title “Blue Beauty Innovation: Sustainable Seaweed Bioactives for Cosmetics and Skincare” This project explores the potential of using natural compounds extracted from sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), a seaweed that grows abundantly in Atlantic Canada, as safe and effective ingredients for skincare and cosmetic products. Around the world, consumers and companies are looking for cleaner, more […]

This project aims to develop AutoBuyingCompanion (ABC), a digital advisory tool that helps Canadians make informed car-buying decisions. By processing user requirements, car specifications, and cost of use, as well as environmentally responsible usage, this project will provide recommendations on the most suitable models. By incorporating data analytics with insights from artificial intelligence, this project […]

This project focuses on validating the market potential and commercialization pathway for a sustainable activated carbon product produced using novel pyrolysis of Brewer’s Spent Grain (brewery waste). The work will assess customer segments, value propositions, production feasibility, cost structure, and pilot-scale readiness for Maple Carbon Technologies Inc. The internship will generate evidence-based insights to support […]

This project will develop an easy-to-use system that helps students automatically fill out university application forms by organizing their information and entering it into different school portals. The goal is to save students time, reduce mistakes, and make the application process less stressful. For North Forge, this project provides a chance to support a new […]

The proposed technology, called polycoat flooring, aims to ease the electricity bill of Canadian households through no added effort, simply by harnessing otherwise wasted mechanical energy and transforming it into usable electricity. Through a simple and highly intuitive installation process, this product provides an alternative aesthetically pleasing flooring option that generates electricity by simply walking […]

Wildfires create serious threats to communities, infrastructure, and natural environments across Canada. Many regions face fires that grow faster and burn hotter due to climate change, dry conditions, and limited access to real-time information. Current tools often fail to provide timely or accurate understandings, especially in remote or northern areas where ground reports arrive late […]

Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic bacterial infection of the gumline and tissues that anchor teeth and according to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) 7 out of 10 Canadians will experience some form of this disease over their lifetime. PD is caused by specific pathogenic anaerobic (those that prefer low oxygen environments) bacterial species known […]

Many industrial companies still rely on traditional training methods and struggle to keep up with evolving skill requirements. These conventional approaches, such as manuals, videos, and classroom instruction, are ineffective in delivering the hands-on skills required to operate complex machinery. Our project introduces an Augmented Reality (AR) based training platform powered by Multi-Large Language Models […]
