This project will place an intern with Propel Impact, a national non-profit, to support its growing work in social innovation and social finance in Ottawa and Ontario. The Mitacs intern will help Propel Impact and its partners, including social enterprises, community foundations, and impact investing funds, strengthen how they measure and communicate the outcomes of […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à aider une entreprise à développer et faire grandir son podcast. Il commence par une analyse du marché des podcasts au Québec et aux États-Unis pour mieux comprendre le public, la concurrence et ce qui permet de se démarquer. Ensuite, le projet propose une stratégie pour augmenter la visibilité du […]

Les startups québécoises dédiées à la conception et la fabrication de produits physiques ont de la difficulté à produire des prototypes ou microséries localement. Cela les pousse à chercher à l’étranger l’expertise en production et l’aide technique qui leur font défaut ici. Ce projet vise à développer et à déployer une plateforme numérique dans le […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

This project will investigate the use of automated and connected vehicle technologies as well as smart mobility technologies to improve Workzone Safety for Personnel undertaking road work in an urban or highway setting. In order to determine the most favourable technologies and how to apply them, the project will rely upon the use of resources […]

This project will help Insect Track Solutions improve and validate IPPM Now, a digital tool designed to make insect monitoring easier and more accurate for farmers, agronomists, and researchers. Today, insect data is collected in many different ways, making it hard to compare results or make fast decisions. The project will work with expert users […]

Disinfection is essential across households, industries, agriculture, and healthcare. But, choosing the right chemical disinfectant raises concerns, as residues, volatile compounds, and microbial resistance often force us to switch chemicals or increase dosages. What if we could disinfect without adding chemicals? Our project explores this possibility by altering the chemistry of air and water using […]

Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic bacterial infection of the gumline and tissues that anchor teeth and according to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) 7 out of 10 Canadians will experience some form of this disease over their lifetime. PD is caused by specific pathogenic anaerobic (those that prefer low oxygen environments) bacterial species known […]

The proposed project will use existing telecom fiber installed alongside railways to monitor the physical condition of Canada’s aging rail network in real time. By attaching small Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors at key stress points—such as bridges, track curves, and transitions—the system will continuously measure strain, temperature, and wheel impacts without adding new cabling. […]

Our project is about a novel hybrid 3D printing system that combines the best parts of two popular printing methods: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA). FDM printers can make large parts but with low precision and limited surface quality, while SLA printers create very accurate parts but waste a lot of resin and […]

Reinforcement learning algorithms are successfully employed in diverse industries, for instance in autonomous driving, trading or gaming. However, their generalization especially in critical-decision making systems has raised concerns about their robustness to attacks. The 22nd recommendation issued by the White House (2016) to prepare for the future of AI states: ”Agencies (…) should ensure that […]

The Nexagon project aims to develop an innovative neck collar designed to help prevent concussions in sports like hockey by reducing rapid head and neck movements during impact. Inspired by natural structures such as the honeycomb, the collar will be lightweight, comfortable, and effective in absorbing and redistributing forces that can cause brain injuries. Using […]
