Leadless (wireless) Cardiac Pacemakers (LCPs) were developed to overcome complications of traditional pacemakers, such as lead fracture, dislodgement, and infection. Despite their advantages, current LCPs face major limitations. This project aims to recharge LCPs using electric fields, enabling advanced functions such as inter-device synchronization without increasing device size or altering established titanium encapsulation methods used […]

The proposed project aims to improve and scale femfit – a medical device designed to help women manage urinary incontinence – for increased manufacturing capabilities and improved performance. Interns Sarah Mack and Mairi Brydon will work alongside acclaimed researchers at the pelvic floor group of the University of Auckland; Sarah focusing on adjusting the injection […]

Expertise Hub Cooperative (EHC) seeks to engage a policy analyst to strengthen its ability to navigate evolving policies and support its immigrant-focused mission. This initiative will provide actionable insights, policy recommendations, and strategies to address systemic barriers, advocate for change, and enhance EHC’s capacity to foster inclusivity and community impact. By aligning with EHC’s cooperative […]

This project aims to create a communication tool that works without the internet by using mesh networking technology. It is designed to help workers in remote or dangerous areas stay connected, even during emergencies like power outages or network failures. The system can send important information such as location, temperature, and gas levels between devices. […]

Alongside participation in the Lab2Market Validate program, where the intern will test commercial viability of their idea by speaking to potential customers, this Mitacs project consists of a market analysis that identifies ideal vending countries, investigates safety regulations, and estimates market size for the intern’s idea of a hydrogen conversion kit for heavy-duty trucks. The […]

Healthcare systems operate as complex socio-technical environments, involving unpredictable interactions among patients, clinicians, technologies, administrators, and institutional policies. These systems are often under significant pressure to improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance patient safety—yet they frequently lack the tools to simulate the consequences of operational decisions before implementation. Traditional approaches like retrospective analysis or static […]

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects up to 20% of pregnancies in Canada and is often diagnosed late, between 24–28 weeks, leaving limited time for preventive action. This delay can lead to serious complications for both mother and child, including preterm birth, macrosomia, and long-term risk of type 2 diabetes. Women with infertility, PCOS, insulin resistance, […]

This project will explore how to bring a new clean technology called Propel to market. Propel is a device that helps ships use less fuel by reducing how much they rock and move on the waves, while also turning that motion into clean electricity. The intern will talk to people in the shipping industry to […]

Antioxidant dietary fiber is an emerging concept that combines the health benefits of dietary fiber and natural polyphenolic antioxidants into a single functional ingredient. Dietary fiber supports gut and heart health, blood sugar regulation, weight management, and digestive well-being. Phenolic compounds, commonly found in colorful fruits and vegetables, help protect the body from oxidative damage […]

This project will validate the commercial potential of DeepFault AI, an advanced geoscience software solution that automates seismic fault interpretation using deep learning, with integrated uncertainty quantification and quality control (QC). In energy sectors such as oil and gas, geothermal, and carbon storage, reliable subsurface interpretation is essential. Traditional fault detection methods are slow, subjective, […]

The aim of this internship is to investigate the possibility of a scaled-up green process to design, and develop an industrial plant to remove the hazardous materials from spent secondary materials such as spent petrochemical catalysts, in Atlantic Canada. The intern will be responsible to develop a whole process flow diagram, as well as a […]

The goal of this research is to explore opportunities for the Newfoundland and Labrador government to optimize BAs with oil and gas companies in a manner that feeds the development of entrepreneurship and innovation throughout the province. IVC Consulting Inc. is a Newfoundland-based consulting group that helps clients find innovative, valuable and creative ways to […]
