This project aims to enhance the surface durability of aluminum components used in industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and renewable energy, while maintaining aluminum’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant qualities. The research will employ a cost-effective coating method, low-pressure cold spray, to apply aluminum–alumina composite coatings, followed by friction stir processing to further improve their quality. […]

At Elements Athletics, we’re using technology to make sports safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Our flagship tool, Mic’d Up, uses artificial intelligence to analyze referee audio from games, detecting verbal abuse and helping sports organizations enforce their conduct policies. Through this Mitacs project, we’ll improve our internal annotation dashboard to streamline audio review and […]

The project comprises internships in a variety of technical and business roles within our organization and within our GovLab program. 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 […]

AltaML builds artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions to business problems. We work with organisations, bringing together their data and domain expertise with our AI expertise, to develop AI solutions that are deployed in their operations. We also commercialize AI-enabled products business via industry-specific ventures, yielding scalability from our investment in the first solution. AltaML’s Venture Studio […]

Reverb Robotics provides an end-to-end auditory awareness solution for robots, but needs to validate the industrial market for its product beyond its initial sales to research labs. This project will involve an intern participating in the Lab2Market program to perform customer discovery and test the company’s business-to-business (B2B) assumption. The intern will then work to […]

Small packs of vitamin and mineral dense gummy candies which are formulated to cater for those on gender affirming hormone treatment (GAHT). The product formulation is to be designed around a biochemistry-focused literary review model which maps hormonal pathway connections to vitamin and mineral needs. Additional research will be done on gummy composition to maximize […]

This project focuses on developing a long-endurance autonomous multirotor drone capable of performing continuous aerial operations for emergency response, environmental monitoring, and remote delivery. It addresses the critical gap between costly manned helicopters—which can cost over $50,000 per hour and operate for only a few hours—and short-range electric drones that can fly for less than […]

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal condition that affects posture, movement, and quality of life. Deficiencies in proprioception, the body’s sense of position and movement, may play a role by disrupting balance and postural control, contributing to spinal misalignment. Scoliosis is typically assessed with static images such as X-rays, which cannot show how […]

Up to 40% of stroke survivors can experience aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. However, one of the most effective ways to accurately assess aphasia, discourse analysis, remains underutilized. Discourse analysis is usually time-consuming and performed manually, leading to varying results between clinicians. It can also […]

Doctors often use biomarkers which are measurable signs in the body to better understand diseases, track their progress, and test whether treatments are working. Right now, there is no reliable biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that weakens muscles over time and makes it difficult to move, speak, eat, and breathe. Sadly, ALS […]

This project aims to make a fun, game-based screening tool that helps detect Parkinson’s disease by assessing motor and cognitive function without needles, expensive tests, or stressful doctor visits. Users play a multi level drawing game on a computer or tablet while our artificial intelligence analyzes their handwriting and movements to predict disease risk. This […]
