This research internship will investigate how a self-powered sensor can be built that continuously measures the temperature, humidity and acceleration (i.e. shocks or bumps) that a musical instrument case is subjected to. The case sensor will be able to automatically connect wirelessly to smart phones (using a custom designed smart phone application) to provide a […]

The University of New Brunswick (UNB – Canada) welcomes a student intern from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT – Thailand) to investigate chemical technologies for recycling waste plastics. The recycling of post-consumer non-compostable materials (e.g., polyester) have been identified as the next frontier to decrease solid waste. Around the world, societies struggle with […]

This project will help us address the challenges directly by allowing our intern to take full control over a brand-new program, and they will also be tasked with brainstorming some of the major challenges in our sector and different ways that our organization can tackle these challenges through our programming. These problems require someone who […]

Species are delimited by barriers to reproduction, which can be caused by genetic incompatibilities that arise when isolated populations become two distinct species. Nevertheless, hybridization can occur when species are genetically similar enough to have few barriers to reproduction. If the hybrid offspring is viable and fertile, it can mate with either of the parental […]

The Port is looking to do a full review of applications to ensure the strategy use of current applications to maximize business value and strategic use of resources for the high quality of data possible. Once the review is complete, a plan will be developed for the applications. This project will include various tasks including: […]

Forest fire hazard mitigation is crucial for Canada due to its vast and diverse forests, which are highly prone to wildfires. These fires threaten human lives, property, and wildlife, and can cause serious economic and environmental damage. Effective strategies can reduce the frequency, intensity, and spread of wildfires, protecting communities, preserving valuable timber, and maintaining […]

Net Zero Atlantic (NZA) is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. To do so, NZA leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic Canada’s transition to net zero […]

Our technology utilizes synthetic DNA designed to exclusively bind and sense specific target biomolecules. Our multiplex platform, a unique feature, consists of eight biosensors specifically targeting one breast cancer marker type. These markers, which are stage-dependent, along with diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers, represent a significant advancement in breast cancer diagnostics and subsequent care for […]

Combining multiple methods like MEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge), environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis, and traditional wildlife surveys can provide a comprehensive approach to determine the historical and current distribution of wood turtles (Migjigj) in the Matapedia-Restigouche watershed. This approach not only enhances the accuracy of findings but also respects and integrates diverse knowledge systems, contributing to […]

Spandrel Interactive is a VR and game development studio that specializes in development of gamified learning experiences and video games. Our main activities include VR product/training development, web development, testing and game/UX design. We have seen disproportionately low sales performance from building award-winning single player games. We consistently see multiplayer outperforming single player in the […]

Nearly 90% of drug candidates fail during the drug design and development process, resulting in exorbitant costs to bring a new drug to market. Our technology, LigandQI, addresses the critical shortcomings in current computational drug design programs by leveraging ab initio quantum chemistry to quantify ligand-receptor interactions with unprecedented accuracy. Unlike traditional methods, our program […]

This Mitacs Business Strategy Internship (BSI) Grant Application is focused on developing an analytical assay for detecting several breast cancer (BC) markers in serum. As an upgrade to the existing methods for quantifying BC serum markers, we aim to integrate several electrodes on the same sensor platform that will be bio-engineered to target one type […]
