The proposed project aims to enhance groundwater resource management in previously glaciated areas, focusing on a case study from Guelph, Ontario. Groundwater plays a vital role in various applications, including drinking water and industrial processes, necessitating a deep comprehension of subsurface dynamics. However, creating accurate geological models for groundwater modeling and contaminant remediation remains challenging, […]

Despite being a significant predictor of musculoskeletal injury, mitigating muscle fatigue in automotive assembly remains a significant challenge. Administrative controls, such as job rotation and work relief, are often employed to reduce fatigue exposures, but little guidance is available on their optimal use-cases. The first objective of this project is to evaluate different relief/rotation schedules […]

This project aims to make self-driving cars smarter and safer. Imagine a self-driving car that can see and understand everything around it, like a human driver. This project wants to create a special kind of computer brain for these cars, using something called “tensorized neural networks.” These networks are like super-powered tools for the car’s […]

The project will develop and test VR scenarios for the assessment of selected AC tools and products. This will help AC develop more usable next-generation products.

Despite being the world’s third-largest raspberry importer, Canada faces challenges like high local wholesale prices, erratic climate, pest issues, and labor costs. This project offers a breakthrough solution—an innovative, scalable indoor farm—to address these issues. The goal is to create a cutting-edge platform that overcomes horticultural challenges, empowers future growers, and transforms Canadian indoor farming […]

Sequent AI is a consolidation of technology companies across Canada and the U.S. The Sequent AI team is looking to develop a verticalized strategy for IT solutions across the networking, infrastructure, cloud and managed services spaces. This project will allow us to develop key metrics and strategy to bolster our current initiatives

The project involves developing a medical device to detect the clinically validated concussion biomarker, S100B. The intern’s work focuses on creating a device that can identify a specific threshold of this biomarker, crucial for identifying concussion risk. This research offers HeadFirst a unique opportunity to understand the potential of S100B in saliva for concussion diagnosis, […]

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe way to non-invasively probe the body, particularly for imaging soft tissues. In Canada, MRI use is growing, but there’s a concern with people who have medical devices inside them, as the strong magnets used in MRI could cause problems for these devices. Doctors are interested in using MRI […]

Healthcare providers spend more and more time in front of computer screens reviewing notes and searching for information, and less and less time developing meaningful relationships with patients. Emerging technologies like ChatGPT may be able to reverse this dynamic and free up clinicians’ time and reduce wait times for patients. This project will assess the […]

The objective of this project is to develop intelligent algorithms and machine learning models to enable semantic 3D mapping and localization of intelligent drones, allowing them to autonomously navigate complex indoor environments. The project will collaborate with SOTI Aerospace to establish a research and development team focused on advancing aerial technology for the next generation. […]

Over the last decade, there has been a growing literature on “brain plasticity” and the role of computer based games for brain health improvement. Most of the focus has been on healthy older adults. While there has been pharmacologic treatment available for dementia for decades, there is no accepted standard treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment […]
