This project, a collaboration between 3Tenets Consulting Inc. and Dr. Wenjing Zhang from the University of Guelph, seeks to address emerging security and privacy vulnerabilities associated with the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in enterprise environments. The initiative will focus on developing a prototype Privacy Leakage Assessment (PLA) Toolkit to evaluate and mitigate risks […]

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is an emerging service that enables users to plan, reserve, and pay for different on-demand and shared mobility services through an integrated platform. MaaS is relatively more advanced and widespread in European countries than in North America. In parts of Europe, shared mobility services can also be found in mobility hubs (dedicated on-street […]

This project aims to develop a robust foundation model designed explicitly for financial time series representation learning. The core of this approach is an autoencoder framework capable of capturing multi-modal relationships in financial data. Once trained, the encoder will be deployed as a general-purpose model for various downstream financial tasks, including predictive analytics and asset […]

This project focuses on developing innovative, biocompatible microrobots for targeted drug delivery, particularly in cancer treatment. By integrating smart hydrogels with magneto-active properties, these tiny robots can navigate the body and deliver highly precise chemotherapy drugs, reducing side effects and improving patient outcomes. Advanced 3D microfabrication techniques, such as two-photon lithography and digital light processing, […]

Substantial research has been implemented to delineate the efficacy, mechanism of action and identification of the medicinal components of natural extracts for clinical use, especially in the field of cancer. This project is aimed at identifying all biologically active components of dandelion root extract (DRE), a natural health product (NHP) that has shown potential as […]

This project’s goals include optimizing and documenting the development of zwitterionic hydrogels that will be used as injectable hydrogels to substitute current hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplements to treat osteoarthritis. During this internship, the intern will be able to work on the synthesis, characterization, purification, and packaging of zwitterionic hydrogels and document these protocols by establishing standard […]

Understanding Barriers to AI Adoption in Canada Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, yet Canada faces significant barriers to widespread adoption. This C.D. Howe Institute policy paper will examine the current state of AI adoption in Canada, assess its economic, social, and productivity implications, and identify key challenges hindering broader implementation. These challenges include […]

The dramatic growth of the Internet has enhanced access to information, fostering seamless communication and promoting effective collaboration. Unfortunately, advanced network traffic control and monitoring systems have empowered state-level actors to deploy large-scale surveillance and censorship mechanisms that track people’s Internet activities or limit their ability to freely access and publish information. Recently, multiple initiatives […]

The transition to electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles, particularly school buses, presents a significant opportunity for sustainable transportation. School buses are ideal candidates for electrification due to their predictable daily routes and manageable travel distances. However, establishing the necessary charging infrastructure and charging schedule at bus depots is a major barrier to this transition. Installing […]

The Bloorview Research Institute (BRI) is exploring innovative ways to leverage its vast research data holdings to generate value and advance its missions. While this data holds significant potential value for external stakeholders across healthcare, academia, and industry, the organization currently lacks a strategy for ethical and sustainable monetization. The innovative challenge at hand is […]

In my role as a summer growth strategy intern, I will be directly assisting the CEO and co-founder of the firm in her duties. Proxure is currently in the process of raising their pre-seed funding round; I will be working to enhance and simplify this process to ensure all goals are met in a timely […]
