Quantum sensing exploits quantum mechanical effects to achieve unparalleled precision in measuring magnetic and electric fields, temperature, and time, enabling transformative applications across healthcare, environmental monitoring, aerospace, secure communications, and next-generation navigation systems. As quantum computing and communication technologies accelerate globally, the development of robust, scalable, and highly sensitive quantum sensors has become a critical […]

The proposed project is focused on developing an improved therapeutic protein for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). More than 10% of the world population (primarily those over the age of 50) are impacted by OA, an inflammatory joint disease that affects all the joint tissues due to cartilage loss and to date lacks curative treatment. […]

This project will explore and test the idea of BEsTech, a platform that helps companies find the right additive manufacturing (3D printing) services, materials, and experts faster and without relying on middle agents. Instead of building full software, the project will study real industry needs, test simple prototypes, and learn how people would use and […]

Craniofacial and maxillofacial reconstruction is often limited by insufficient autologous bone and the shortcomings of current graft alternatives, which can degrade unevenly, bond poorly, or fail to support vascular growth. These issues are especially critical in cases of trauma, congenital defects, or cancer-related bone loss, where reliable, bioresorbable grafts are essential. This project evaluates and […]

This project aims to explore whether RepGen, an academic tool that helps software teams automatically reproduce bugs in deep learning and AI systems, can become a useful product for industry. By interviewing more than 100 developers, companies, and technical teams, the project will identify who needs this tool the most, what features they care about, […]

The Voltage meter is a first of its kind device created with the intention of bridging the gap between the symptomatology we understand from our frail patients’ (those who score 0-1 on the Frailty Index) experience and a numerical way to quantify rehabilitative progress or decline in the clinical environment. We know that there is […]

This project focuses on validating the market potential and commercialization pathway for a sustainable activated carbon product produced using novel pyrolysis of Brewer’s Spent Grain (brewery waste). The work will assess customer segments, value propositions, production feasibility, cost structure, and pilot-scale readiness for Maple Carbon Technologies Inc. The internship will generate evidence-based insights to support […]

The proposed technology, called polycoat flooring, aims to ease the electricity bill of Canadian households through no added effort, simply by harnessing otherwise wasted mechanical energy and transforming it into usable electricity. Through a simple and highly intuitive installation process, this product provides an alternative aesthetically pleasing flooring option that generates electricity by simply walking […]

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back pain and arthritis affect millions of Canadians and place a heavy burden on the healthcare system. Every year, thousands of new research studies are published on MSK health, but the sheer volume makes it hard for organizations to keep track of the latest findings. This project will explore how […]

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing an inflection point in their digital journey, with artificial intelligence (AI) emerging as a foundational technology for operational efficiency, customer experience, and strategic differentiation. However, despite increasing awareness, a substantial number of SMEs remain hesitant or unprepared to adopt AI technologies, risking competitive stagnation or decline. This project […]

Chemical insecticides play an important role in global food production, ensuring reliable pest control and high crop yields. However, their intensive use also brings significant challenges—environmental contamination, risks to human health, and the rise of resistant pest populations. Addressing these issues is critical to maintaining both agricultural productivity and sustainability. This project seeks to discover […]

The purpose of this project is to understand the tensions between Indigenous-led research projects and the standard academic processes that are intended to maintain ethical standards. By identifying the tensions, strategies used to navigate them effectively will also be identified. The project will be adopt Two-Eyed Critical Sensemaking as a lens to analyze research ethics […]
