This project will validate an inclusive, wearable feedback system designed to support emotional regulation by detecting stress, mapping emotions, improving emotional communication, and preventing burnout and meltdowns. It is especially relevant for individuals with autism, ADHD, and sensory sensitivities, offering discreet, real-time feedback that enhances emotional awareness and expression. Grounded in ethical and inclusive design, […]

This project will support the early development of CORIMA, a new digital platform designed to help ports and other industries improve how different organizations work together to manage safety and risk. The platform is based on research done at Dalhousie University and uses a systems-thinking approach to identify gaps in coordination that can lead to […]

We are developing a specialized AI-driven Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for neurology that integrates a large language model with domain-specific tools (such as neuroimaging analysis, EEG interpretation, and up-to-date medical knowledge retrieval). The system serves as an intelligent assistant for neurologists, helping analyze patient data (e.g. MRI scans, EEGs, clinical notes, etc.) and providing […]

We aim to develop and implement a cost-efficient framework for communicating with proprietary generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT. In fact, these provider companies expose their models through an interface that can be accessed via API. However, calling their API will incur a cost considerably based on our request. Basically, smaller models are cheaper than […]

AllerEase is a personalized grocery recommendation tool that helps allergy-sensitive users shop safer and easier. It generates user-specific shopping lists based on allergy profiles and live product data. This project aims to refine matching logic and validate usability through real-world testing.

This project focuses on developing advanced bioinks enhanced with tiny filler materials to improve 3D bioprinting for tissue engineering. By creating stronger, more printable, and biologically compatible materials, the project aims to help the partner organization advance regenerative medicine technologies. This will support the development of new personalized medical treatments and open up commercial opportunities […]

Emerging contaminants (ECs) have become a significant environmental concern due to their widespread presence and risks to health and ecosystems. Meanwhile, agricultural waste is also increasing, providing a valuable source for high-value materials. Traditional detection methods are costly, slow, and require specialized equipment and time-consuming laboratory analyses. Electrochemical sensors offer a low-cost, rapid, and sensitive […]

The proposed project will address the research question: what is the role of relatedness in shaping spatial and social associations of St. Lawrence Estuary belugas? This work is proposed in partnership with the Group for Research and Education on Marine Mammals (GREMM), which is a non-profit organization dedicated to both scientific research on the whales […]

This project will support the development of an accessible, digital tool designed to help people recovering from concussions, especially students and older adults by offering step-by-step guidance and resources. Through this internship, we aim to finalize our MVP (minimum viable product) and research the best rehabilitation technologies to include on the platform. By helping advance […]

This project is focused to democratize enterprise-level information technology solutions for Atlantic Canadian small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) through a revolutionary one-person or small team, agile, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered consultancy model. This project will provide key innovation using cutting-edge AI tools (Claude, agentic AI), which can deliver digital transformations at 1/10th the traditional cost […]

This project focuses on investigating more efficient and simplified approaches for very short-term precipitation forecasting, known as nowcasting. The goal is to evaluate and adapt lightweight machine learning models that can deliver accurate predictions using fewer computational resources. By reviewing existing models, testing their performance, and exploring ways to simplify their architecture without losing accuracy, […]
