Vision 2050 Project

International Conservation Models & Regional Conservation Program Analysis for Georgian Bay Georgian Bay is an ecologically significant coastal region facing increasing pressures from development, climate change, invasive species, and fragmented governance. These challenges parallel those experienced globally in other large coastal systems. To support long-term, evidence-based environmental planning, this project will evaluate successful conservation and […]

Autonomous Tethered Navigation of a Drywall-Sanding Mobile Manipulator

Nowadays, many building contractors use modular construction, where various parts of a building are partially or completely built on an assembly line and then assembled on-site. Building interior modules often involve finishing plasterboard walls, including closing joints between panels and hiding fasteners or defects. To automate this task, mobile manipulators, equipped with a robotic arm, […]

QV Studio – Validate 2026 – Jiang

This project will help transform a laboratory-built 3D imaging technology into a market-ready product. I have developed a fast, non-contact camera–projector system that captures 3D surface information even when objects are moving. Unlike most existing 3D scanners, my approach has been experimentally demonstrated to achieve the world’s highest speed of up to 150,000 frames per […]

The Inelastic Cooper-Pair Tunneling Amplifier (ICTA) is a DC-powered superconducting amplifier that achieves quantum-limited noise without the microwave pump tones required by all other quantum-limited amplifiers, vastly simplifying cryogenic setups and enabling scalable qubit readout with a 10 GHz gain-bandwidth product and potential operation up to THz frequencies. The purpose of this project is to […]

Simulation of quantum systems is important for modern technologies. However, obtaining quantum solutions is known to be harder than we can expect to accomplish with any efficient algorithm. The discovery of new technologies is highly reliant on improving existing simulation techniques. Our proposal is to radically reinvent how simulations of quantum problems is performed. We […]

AI Submission Moderator Within Interactive Experiences

Goosechase is a Canadian platform that helps schools, nonprofits, and businesses run interactive, mission-based activities like onboarding, orientation, museum tours, and team training. Today, creating these experiences and checking large numbers of photo, video, and text submissions is slow and manual, especially in education, where safety and privacy are critical. This project will build AI […]
