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 […]

This project will develop a multi agent-based personalized healthcare platform that helps healthcare providers better understand and support people living with obesity. The tool will use artificial intelligence, large-language models to ask questions about a patient’s mental health, lifestyle, and quality of life, then use that information to suggest more tailored treatment options, such as […]

Seyon Tax & Accounting is a Toronto-based firm specializing in tax filing, payroll administration, and compliance services for Canadian businesses and individuals. In collaboration with WIMTACH-CEDA, Seyon Tax has been building a cloud-based payroll management platform tailored to Ontario’s regulatory environment. As the platform moves toward production readiness, the organization aims to undertake targeted applied […]

Enabled Talent is an inclusive employment platform using AI to connect people with disabilities to accessible jobs. This project will help the team move from a pilot to national scale by researching market needs, analyzing employment policies, and shaping a plan to reach more users and employers. The intern will support with market analysis, pricing […]

Biomass, derived from a wide array of organic materials including agricultural residues (e.g., crop stalks, leaves, and fruit peels) and forestry residues (e.g., stumps, branches, and leaves), offers a scalable and renewable feedstock for developing sustainable bio-based products across the energy, materials, and environmental sectors. Through thermochemical conversion techniques, value-added products such as biochar, bio-oil, […]

QoinRing is a 3d printed QR-coded promotional keychain which was created in response to dissatisfaction with aggressive traditional marketing, and appeals to students and creators who want to broadcast what they do, without interrupting others’ daily real-life experiences. Its compactness, customizable form, and use of recycled materials made of plastic bottles make it particularly appealing […]
