The global manufacturing sector is shifting towards high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) production. While large corporations can invest in advanced automation, Canada’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face a significant “adoption chasm.” This gap is driven by prohibitive upfront capital costs for robotic systems, a critical lack of in-house programming and maintenance expertise, and the financial risk […]

Apical periodontitis is a disease caused by the persistence of microorganisms and their virulence factors in the root canal system. This infection leads to inflammation of the soft tissues and changes in the periapical bone structure. Bacteria such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Parvimonas micra form biofilms that are resistant to conventional cleaning, making treatment more […]

This project initially targets drug discovery labs, with long-term plans to expand into broader biomedical research. As AI becomes integral to scientific work, we aim to build a custom AI assistant that goes beyond basic chat support, capable of running code, executing ML/DL pipelines, and assisting with lab-specific tasks.

This project will explore the use of quantum technologies to simulate physical systems relevant to particle physics, with a focus on neutrino behavior. The goal is to build an analog quantum simulator: a special device whose components are designed to naturally follow the dynamics of the system being studied. The platform will be superconducting circuits, […]

U-Pro Soccer is a Canadian sportstech company developing a mobile-first training platform that uses AI and computer vision to help youth athletes practice soccer drills at home using only a smartphone and a training mat. Many young players lack access to structured training, especially outside of team environments, and U-Pro aims to fill this gap […]

This research would offer a new, policy-oriented comparative analysis of international digital literacy strategies aiming to lessen the digital divide. Unlike much of the existing literature, this research would place the focus on initiatives made to further develop digital literacy, rather than digital infrastructure rollout. This research would build on Chetty’s (2018) findings about the […]

This project focuses on exploring how a new water based technology—called a nanobubble generator—can help solve common challenges in agriculture, aquaculture, and water treatment across Canada. Nanobubbles are minuscule gas bubbles that improve water quality by increasing oxygen levels, cleaning surfaces, and reducing the need for harmful chemicals. While this technology has seen success in […]

Les protéines TRM, identifiées par le groupe de recherche Contrôle Spatial de la Division Cellulaire (IJPB, INRAE de Versailles) sont des déterminants de la taille et de la forme du pistil (gynécée) et du fruit. Ce projet vise à comprendre les fonctions des protéines TRM au cours de la morphogenèse du gynécée, à savoir comment […]

The proposed project aims to develop sustainable cellulose-based aerogels containing conductive materials like MXenes and graphene for electromagnetic interference shielding and energy storage applications. By exploring interfacial assembly mechanisms through advanced characterization techniques available at CEMES-CNRS, such as in-situ electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, the research will clarify how these materials form structured aerogels. Understanding […]

This project aims to improve electrochemical aptamer-based sensors, that can monitor important biomolecules in real time, directly inside the body or in other complex environments. These sensors are promising because they can be adapted to detect many different targets, but their use is limited by a gradual loss of stability and performance over time. To […]

This project explores innovative ways to convert agricultural residues (i.e., oat husks) into sustainable construction materials. Specifically, the research focuses on developing and validating cement replacement products derived from agro-waste, which can help reduce the carbon footprint of concrete, a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. The intern will work closely with both academic […]

This research project supports the development of the NEXT experiment in Groningen, which studies rare, short-lived atomic nuclei important for understanding how the heaviest elements in the universe are formed. These special nuclei, produced in high-energy reactions, are difficult to make and study due to their low production rates and short lifetimes. The intern will […]
