This project investigates the performance and scalability of two advanced hydrodynamic models TELEMAC-2D and HiPIMS through a comparative study of Lake Ontario’s shallow-water dynamics. The intern, Mehrdad Jafarzadeh Khoshroudi (Western University), will conduct high-resolution simulations under the joint supervision of Prof. M. Reza Najafi (Western) and Prof. Qiuhua Liang (Loughborough University, UK), a world expert […]

The proposed project aims to develop an affordable, real-time inspection system for nano-thin films used in industries such as solar energy, batteries, and advanced electronics. By enabling manufacturers to monitor film thickness and uniformity across large areas during production, this technology will help reduce defects, improve product quality, and increase manufacturing yields. The project will […]

This project supports the commercialization of ComfiDam, a breathable dental dam designed to improve patient comfort while maintaining clinical isolation. The project focuses on defining a launch-ready product, business model, and go-to-market strategy for pilot deployment and scale.

This project aims to extract musculoskeletal health information from medical MRI scans that are already routinely collected in spine cancer patients at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Patients treated for spinal tumors typically undergo both CT and MRI scans as part of standard care. In this project, the intern will develop and validate an automated image-analysis […]

This project aims to advance the commercial launch of a new type of high-performance filtration membrane, made from a durable and reusable material called PEEK, for use in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Building on prior market validation efforts, the focus of this phase is to finalize a target market, define a launch-ready product offering, and develop a […]

Many reports have established a correlation between obesity and diabetes plus cardiovascular complications with the amount of a hormone in the body called adiponectin. Interestingly, the amount of adiponectin circulating in the blood decreases in obese and diabetic individuals. The precise reasons why changes in adiponectin cause diabetes and its complications remain to be determined. […]

The “SEE-Gender” research initiative is part of the V2V global partnership project, aiming to explore the potential of gender-inclusive, socially and ecologically oriented entrepreneurship in facilitating the transition of small-scale fisheries from vulnerability to viability in the Indian Sundarbans mangrove delta. The primary objective of this research is to characterize social-ecological entrepreneurship within small-scale fisheries […]

This project will develop a computational framework that uses machine learning to automatically discover mathematical formulas for describing the electron arrangements of molecules. The electronic structure problem is of great interest in quantum chemistry, where cost-effective methods that capture electron correlation are essential for industrial and technological applications. Current machine learning methods often act as […]

This project explores how concrete can be enhanced to help buildings better manage temperature and reduce energy use. The material to be used in this project can absorb heat when temperatures rise and release it when temperatures drop, helping to keep indoor spaces more comfortable without relying as heavily on heating or cooling systems. The […]

When farmers are selling their cattle for meat, the quality of the meat can make a large difference in profits. Farmers and producers see between 30-45% of the retail price, so ensuring that they sell quality beef makes a difference for their bottom line. So how do they know when their cattle are ready for […]

This project focuses on supporting the commercialization and market entry of a new scientific instrument called Ultrafast Photocurrent Spectrometer. To control the semiconductor material quality, and to test semiconductor device performance, ultimately leading to superior device efficiency and yield, the semiconductor industry needs a critical tool to characterize the electrical figures-of-merit when devices are in […]

Path Forward Neurotech is commercializing AR-based cognitive-motor training for seniors in residential care. This Lab2Market Launch project executes B2B sales to long-term care facilities, validating pricing models and building repeatable sales infrastructure from 60+ validated customer discovery interviews.
