For over 100 years, malocclusion is being treated by using metal arch-wires, braces and bands. But these appliances are unaesthetic for the patients so these days patients are more inclined towards clear aligners. However the treatment duration is long which is of a great concern to the orthodontist as it might effects the general oral […]

This proposed research project is for my doctoral thesis. The research focuses on the migration and employment experiences of Chinese rural migrant women factory workers. It will provide an in-depth analysis of factors that women themselves have thought relevant to their migration and employment status and experiences. The research will examine the role of three […]

Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used seismic-resistant systems in Canada and Europe. Despite their popularity, previous experimental and numerical investigations have revealed significant shortcomings, highlighting opportunities to refine the current seismic design provisions in both regions. The aim of this project is first to evaluate the seismic performance of moderately ductile steel CBFs […]

This project explores a flexible biotechnology platform that converts greenhouse gas emissions and industrial residues, such as methane and crude glycerol, into valuable biomaterials like PHB, using microbial cultures under high-density fermentation. During the internship, market research and interviews will be conducted to identify potential partners and early adopters, evaluate where the platform creates the […]

Wildfire smoke and airborne pollutants are an increasing threat to indoor air quality, yet existing filtration systems struggle to balance efficiency, energy use, and proper airflow in large-scale applications. This venture is developing a novel air filtration system that integrates directly into building air handling units to deliver superior particulate removal without high pressure drop […]

This four-month business strategy internship will focus on developing the commercialization plan for a new startup founded at the University of Alberta. The intern will take the company’s proven software, a ‘digital twin’ that helps energy companies safely manage their underground storage assets and prevent multi-million-dollar failures, and conduct the necessary market research to build […]

Upper-limb assistive devices remain hard to use because control often feels unnatural and tiring, which leads to abandonment. The intern’s M.Sc. project proposes a non-invasive, vision-based control layer that links what the user looks at to objects in the real-world 3D environment and predicts natural hand paths and joint actions. This approach is intended to […]

This project focuses on commercializing a novel heat-based air disinfection technology. It aims to validate market needs, assess customer segments, and develop a viable business model to bring an energy-efficient purification solution to market, improving public health and making air disinfection affordable.

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 […]

This project is creating a smart chat assistant that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help construction and engineering companies write accurate proposals, like bids for major jobs. The assistant is trained on the company’s successful past proposals, making it a secure, private expert. When a team uploads a new Request for Proposal (RFP), the assistant […]
