Stroke is a leading cause of disability, affecting 880,000 Canadians, with 109,000 new cases annually and no approved therapies for neuroregeneration. Current standard of care for ischemic stroke includes acute thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy to restore blood flow to the injured tissue, yet these treatments are time sensitive and only apply to specific stroke etiology, leaving […]

This project will upgrade the Climate and Infrastructure Forensic Analysis System (CIFAS), originally developed to characterize snow- and permafrost-related impacts to ground transportation and mine access roads in the Canadian North. My first objective is to enhance the analytical capacity of CIFAS by improving its ability to quantify uncertainties associated with empirical knowledge used to […]

Thermal bridging is a significant challenge in building design, increasing heat loss, raising energy demand, and reducing occupant comfort. As awareness of its impact grows, Canadian building standards are evolving to mandate more sustainable and energy-efficient construction practices. However, existing solutions for mitigating thermal bridging, particularly in balconies, are often ineffective, difficult to install, or […]

Mash helps revenue teams at technical B2B companies streamline pre- and post-sales activities by automating knowledge-intensive tasks such as answering product questions, managing bug reports and feature requests, and prepping for meetings. Its AI platform leverages data buried in messaging platforms, wikis, CRMs, and other internal tools to deliver timely, context-aware assistance to individuals in […]

This project will explore the market potential of a new technology that uses advanced artificial intelligence, powered by both classical and quantum methods, to help companies discover new materials faster and more efficiently. The intern will work closely with mentors and industry experts to identify which industries can benefit the most from this innovation and […]

The study team has developed a software program called SHARP-VT that doctors can use to quickly plan non-invasive treatments of irregular heart-beats using external-beam radiation therapy. In this study the candidate will conduct a detailed review of the commercialization potential for this software program in the North American and European Union markets. This review will […]

In collaboration with the Lab2Market Validate program, our goal is to transition our natural polymer-based wound dressing from the lab bench to commercial scale. Designed specifically for individuals with chronic wounds and fragile skin conditions, our hydrogel-based dressing aims to fill a critical gap in the market. Through the program, we seek to deepen our […]

Wonder Guard is an advanced catheter bag system that uses electrochemical biosensors and machine learning to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs). The device is a module add-on to existing hospital catheter systems that can continuously produce and analyze data to monitor UTIs, with faster results than standard urine cultures and richer insights than urine dipsticks. […]

The proposed project focuses on launching an augmented reality sensorimotor training (ARST) system to help individuals with chronic neck pain (CNP) manage their condition more effectively. ARST is designed as an engaging, non-invasive, and accessible at-home therapy that retrains sensorimotor control using augmented reality technology. The project aims to validate the business model, integrate ARST […]

This project aims to develop an innovative and novel cybersecurity solution tailored for Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), focusing on smart risk assessment and automated network segmentation. Many SMEs lack full visibility into their IT infrastructure, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. This project will study the challenges and needs of SMEs across different […]
