Virtual reality surgery simulation is an emerging technology in surgeon training to train surgical motor skills in virtual environments. This technology reduces the need for training on patients, cadavers, and animals, and enables objective evaluation of the skill acquisition process in a systematic manner. Although this technology has attracted a great deal of interest in […]

The research project bridges across international architectural exhibitions using nextgeneration dissemination venues, including online and physical screenings. The project includes the immersive architectural environment Grove and its associated CGI film Grove Cradle. The film was created for the 17th Venice Biennale of Architecture as a collaboration between Professor Philip Beesley of Canada, Warren Du Preez […]

The proposed project is to develop a bioaerosol sampler which will have minimal impact on the infectivity of captured viruses. Airborne viruses are subjected to environmental conditions which could affect their potential of infectivity as well as their capacity to resist the shearing forces and desiccating conditions during sampling procedures with standard sampling apparatuses. This […]

Capturing and manipulating 3D scenes is a topic of great interest with applications in photography, augmented reality, and robotics. Neural Radiance Fields, or NeRFs, is an emerging technology that enables high fidelity scene modeling and manipulation. This is of great interest to Samsung, as it can help create new photographic experiences for users. Our project […]

The project being undertaken by the intern will be to develop a sustainability strategy/plan in the form of a report for the host organization’s Okpik Arctic Village. This report will be developed by the intern as they gain important and relevant information though consultations with related stakeholders, conducting environmental impact assessments (based on fuel consumption, […]

Deep Learning (DL) is seen by many as “the” framework to solve complex problems involved in numerous applications that influence people’s lives. It is widely used in safety and security-critical environments such as self-driving cars as well as drones and robotics. This makes it highly essential to secure DL algorithms and systems from malicious actors. […]

It is no secret that people strive to be more productive in their personal and professional lives. Productivity applications have made life easier for people by enabling them to meticulously monitor their output in numerous domains. Even so, there remains the problem of how one can most effectively use all this knowledge in order to […]

This role is a critical and multi-faceted position. The intern will be an active contributor to the venture-building and studio asset allocation process. At the heart of FutureSight is a four-phase venture lifecycle – which systematically moves opportunities through ideation, validation, formation, and growth stages. New ideas are rigorously screened, market-tested, and validated before a […]

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of death in twin pregnancies. A variety of parameters, such as cervical length, maternal medical history, demographics, and obstetric characteristics all have been shown to affect the risk of PTB. However, the relationship is not obvious. Early prediction of PTB in these pregnancies can assist physicians in identifying […]

In 1982 theoretical physicist Richard Feynman stated, “Nature isn’t classical … and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical”. The goal of this Mitacs internship project is to do just that. This project focuses on simulating quantum systems on a quantum computer – a new kind of […]

CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by over 11,000 non-profit organizations around the world. Although about 170 host more than 250k records, about a quarter are used by small non-profits with between 2,500 and 10,000 contacts. These organizations maintain sensitive personal information including donation information, event attendance, volunteering data, and case […]
