Many rural communities in the maritime Provinces rely on groundwater for drinking water supply. There is concern that the groundwater in these areas may become contaminated with naturally occurring arsenic as the climate changes. Climate change effects including rising sea levels, longer summer droughts, and more intense storms may alter the geochemical conditions in the […]

Fluxscopic Ltd. is an independent video game studio currently developing its new game, “Ammonite”. Their work is important in pushing the boundaries of interactive story telling and experimental mechanics. The game centers around an avatar navigating a puzzle-based world, where players interact with objects that respond dynamically through audiovisual and tactile cues. The internship will […]

Our project is focused on developing portable biosensors that let anyone measure steroid hormones—like androgens, estrogens, and glucocorticoids—without needing to send samples to a lab. These tools were first designed to help monitor wildlife health, especially for caribou populations important to Indigenous communities, but they also have huge potential for human health. As scientists, we’re […]

Rootsy Marketplace is building a scalable, tech-enabled local e-commerce platform to connect Canadian small businesses with local buyers. The project focuses on optimizing platform logistics, digital operations, and market reach using third-party delivery partners.

Airborne viruses spread most readily in closed rooms where people share the same air. The usual defence is to crank up the ventilation system, so more outdoor air dilutes the germs. Unfortunately, higher airflow drives up energy bills and works against carbon-reduction targets. Installing Far-UVC lamps (222 nm) is another promising option because this light […]

This project explores how conflict between parents impacts how children and caregivers manage their emotions in real time. In collaboration with East China Normal University, we will observe emotion regulation patterns in parent-child pairs during structured play tasks designed to simulate both everyday and high-conflict situations. Unresolved parental conflict is a known gateway to intimate […]

This project will develop a working prototype of an intelligent compliance assistant that leverages machine learning to detect regulatory risks in business contracts, map clauses to frameworks such as GDPR and PIPEDA, and generate plain-language summaries. The system will also track evolving regulations and intelligently suggest policy updates. By simplifying legal review, it enables Canadian […]

The goal of this project is to bridge the fields of neuroscience and nonlinear dynamics by leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze recurrence patterns in neural wave data. Specifically, the project focuses on studying traveling cortical waves – a fundamental phenomenon in brain activity – using recurrence quantification analysis enhanced by machine learning techniques. […]

Global funding for life-sustaining therapy to treat HIV-1 has become unstable in recent years, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where 70% of the 37.9 million people with HIV (PWH) reside. Lifelong adherence to therapy is required as HIV integrates into the DNA of long-lived host immune cells, persisting quietly for decades with the potential to reactivate […]

We are developing a promising new technology based on extracellular vesicles (EVs, often referred to as exosomes), which are natural delivery vehicles produced by cells. These tiny particles have the potential to transform how we treat diseases by delivering therapeutic ingredients directly to where they’re needed in the body. To bring this technology to market […]

This project focuses on developing a novel triboelectric sensor to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes specifically in gas-phase polyethylene production. In these reactors, plastic particles often accumulate electrostatic charge during operation, leading to dangerous buildups that can cause the formation of solid “sheets,” resulting in costly unplanned shutdowns. The goal of this […]

The proposed project involves the intern supporting the development of NOUN, a software platform that connects beauty brands with trusted manufacturers. The intern will help improve how data is organized and shared between brands and vendors, making it faster and easier to manage product development. This work will help the partner organization, EC Studios, launch […]
