This project will develop a working prototype of an intelligent compliance assistant that leverages machine learning to detect regulatory risks in business contracts, map clauses to frameworks such as GDPR and PIPEDA, and generate plain-language summaries. The system will also track evolving regulations and intelligently suggest policy updates. By simplifying legal review, it enables Canadian […]

We are developing a promising new technology based on extracellular vesicles (EVs, often referred to as exosomes), which are natural delivery vehicles produced by cells. These tiny particles have the potential to transform how we treat diseases by delivering therapeutic ingredients directly to where they’re needed in the body. To bring this technology to market […]

This project focuses on developing a novel triboelectric sensor to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes specifically in gas-phase polyethylene production. In these reactors, plastic particles often accumulate electrostatic charge during operation, leading to dangerous buildups that can cause the formation of solid “sheets,” resulting in costly unplanned shutdowns. The goal of this […]

The proposed project involves the intern supporting the development of NOUN, a software platform that connects beauty brands with trusted manufacturers. The intern will help improve how data is organized and shared between brands and vendors, making it faster and easier to manage product development. This work will help the partner organization, EC Studios, launch […]

This project will develop a multi agent-based personalized healthcare platform that helps healthcare providers better understand and support people living with obesity. The tool will use artificial intelligence, large-language models to ask questions about a patient’s mental health, lifestyle, and quality of life, then use that information to suggest more tailored treatment options, such as […]

Women Centre’s Connect (WCC) is launching a province-wide Impact Assessment Initiative that will rigorously measure—and transparently communicate—the economic and social returns generated by its programs, with the explicit goal of unlocking sustained government funding. This project will build a robust evidence framework that traces how WCC’s services move women from economic inactivity or precarious circumstances […]

This project will work on the development of a plasma process for synthesis of carbon nanomaterials. The effort will focus on design of the entire core components to allow very low carrier gas flow rates. The low gas consumption was identified as the highest cost factor in the manufacture of graphene, fullerenes and nanotubes (using […]

The proposed research project seeks to develop technology for the wireless transmission of electricity, enabling devices to receive power without the need for physical cables, similar to how Wi-Fi delivers internet connectivity. This innovation holds significant potential for Verdure: it positions the company at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions, supports the expansion of electricity […]

Enabled Talent is an inclusive employment platform using AI to connect people with disabilities to accessible jobs. This project will help the team move from a pilot to national scale by researching market needs, analyzing employment policies, and shaping a plan to reach more users and employers. The intern will support with market analysis, pricing […]

Chimera is a computational biotechnology venture that aims to develop a specialized CAR-T receptor design pipeline for ovarian cancer immunotherapy using deep-learning models to drastically reduce the candidate search space and experimental costs from the current standard where CAR-T receptor design costs millions of dollars. This grant will allow for initial computational validation of the […]

Biomass, derived from a wide array of organic materials including agricultural residues (e.g., crop stalks, leaves, and fruit peels) and forestry residues (e.g., stumps, branches, and leaves), offers a scalable and renewable feedstock for developing sustainable bio-based products across the energy, materials, and environmental sectors. Through thermochemical conversion techniques, value-added products such as biochar, bio-oil, […]

The primary goal of this project is to develop MoPanning—a perceptually inspired, real-time stereo audio visualizer that can serve as a tool for music production, research, and recreational use. This visualizer will not only assist users in understanding the spatial characteristics of stereo signals but will also provide aesthetic, reactive visualizations suitable for use as […]
