In industry, a wide range of specialized software is used for optimization, design, and simulation across sectors such as oil and gas, with significant adoption in regions like Alberta. These simulation tools are powerful but require users to possess advanced knowledge of mathematics, physics, and coding. Setting up and running simulations can therefore be complex, […]

This project focuses on advancing a carbon-negative biomass conversion technology that produces two high-impact products: a bio-based solvent for industrial and energy applications, and hydrochar for use as a regenerative soil amendment. Over four months, the intern will support the development of application-specific product formulations, engage with potential customers and offtakers to validate product-market fit, […]

We are developing a novel, low-cost microfluidic detection chip for rapid bacterial detection in milk, addressing critical needs in both maternal health and the dairy industry. Bacterial contamination in milk poses significant health and economic risks, from mastitis in breastfeeding mothers to large-scale spoilage in dairy production. Current diagnostic methods, such as culture-based assays, are […]

Public transit agencies in Canada often struggle to accurately measure and predict ridership patterns due to limited and incomplete data. Traditional methods typically rely on a single data source, which makes it hard to get a clear view of how people move across the transit network. Without this information, agencies find it challenging to match […]

We are developing a compact, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform engineered specifically for operation in GPS-denied, confined, and hazardous environments. Designed for use in search and rescue (SAR), industrial inspection, infrastructure monitoring, etc., the platform addresses key limitations of conventional drones and ground robots, which often struggle with maneuverability, stability, and situational awareness in […]

A platform focused on making high-quality products more affordable and accessible to consumers by promoting a sense of community. The platform’s goal is to support smart buying decisions and empower users to achieve greater value in their shopping experiences. Our platform is committed to transforming the way people shop by making affordability a reality for […]

This project will support the business and market development of Conserve Tree, an innovative retrofit medical device designed to optimize oxygen therapy management in hospitals. The intern will help the company identify its target market, gather feedback from hospitals, and develop a business plan to support product launch across Canada and internationally. This work will […]

For disabled people to be enabled to drive they need the use of assistive technology. Between Canada and the US there are 47.3 million people who have disabilities related to lost leg functioning. 60% of these people use adaptive devices to drive. The technology that exists in North America requires the driver to have one […]

The purpose of this project is to expand on an automatic walker braking system prototype. The system is intended to cause the medical walker to brake during sit-to-stand, stand-to-sit, and loss of contact situations through the help of sensors and motors. Currently, the system in functioning reasonably well but could use improvements from an accuracy, […]

This project aims to develop a nutritious, high-protein, and allergen-friendly plant-based snacks using lupin, a legume grown in some part of Canada (Specially Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba). By working with NAIT’s Culinary Centre of Innovation, I will finalize the recipe, verify nutritional content, test shelf life, and ensure the product meets the needs of health-conscious consumers. […]

This project will refine the formulation of four gourmet marshmallow flavours for improved stability, develop a vegan version that closely replicates the original, assess shelf life using sensory and quantitative tests, and produce compliant packaging with nutritional information. It supports innovation in Alberta’s food manufacturing sector by advancing a high-quality, plant-based confectionery product. The work […]

Dudh is a new beverage innovation that reimagines traditional Indian milk drinks for the modern North American market. This research-based project explores the development of a carbonated, dairy-based drink infused with familiar South Asian flavours such as rose, saffron, and cardamom. Aimed at second-generation Indian-Canadian consumers and the broader multicultural market, Dudh blends nostalgia with […]
