This project aims to develop a solution for the predictive maintenance of UAVs which will mitigate the burden and risks associated with the traditional reactive and preventive maintenance. By identifying the critical data related to the failures and monitoring/modeling the behaviors of the components based on data/signals during and after the flight, this research will […]

This project will develop computer vision based tools for application to the see through sensor, a new sensor developed at SAIC Montreal, which has the unique capability of acquiring both tactile (touch) and visual information, while in interaction with objects. These tools will allow for new sensing capabilities to be deployed including contact categorization, slip […]

GelEntroCeutics have developed an intrinsically acid-resistant formulation of gelatin that was used to make fish oil softgels which are acid-resistant per se and do not need to go through the coating process. This achievement is a major advantage over the usual coating of fish oil capsules with gastric acid-resistant layers that is susceptible to deformation […]

Anastomotic Leakage is a common complication that can occur shortly after surgery and lead to increased mortality rates if it is detected too late. The current method of detection relies on monitoring clinical symptoms and visual inspection of the surgical drain fluid, but this process is often delayed and reactive. NERv Technology Inc. is dedicated […]

Pressure vessels made entirely from fiber-reinforced polymer can generate substantial cost and performance improvements leading to their greater acceptance as a storage medium for pressurized alternative fuels (e.g. hydrogen). Inherent anisotropy and inhomogeneity of fiberreinforced composites usually induces functional failure (i.e. leakage) that precedes structural failure by bursting. Functional failure is attributed mainly to transverse […]

RagnaRock Northern Brewing Company Ltd. is a 5-barrel craft brewery in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, that opened in November 2019 with three owners just before the start of the pandemic. The craft beer scene in NL is growing in popularity and with an increase in demand for our product, RagnaRock is getting ready for a busy […]

Instrumar Limited’s core technology platform, used in both industrial and aerospace industries, is based on the measurement of electrical properties of materials that come in contact with its sensor. The sensors sample data in real time and provide feedback based on parameters that are determined through extensive testing. Instrumar receives terabytes of data from its […]

POWER HV is a technology company focusing on carbon emission reduction. Through their sensor product, they help power plants increase the efficiency of the grid and improve its stability in challenging weather by tracking every single bushing and predicting a bushing failure. Exploiting the generated massive sensor data can contribute to an automatic and intelligent […]

Acrylic Robotics is a robotics startup based in Montreal, on a mission to use technology to make fine art accessible to the general public. To make fine art accessible, this project focuses on the development of a physical motion capture system to capture and recreate the artist’s brushstrokes. The intern will assist in the development […]

In recent years, clean and renewable energy sources are urgently needed to partially or completely replace the fossil fuels (e.g., natural gas, petroleum, and coal). Bio-oil derived from fast pyrolysis and hydrothermal liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass usually contains a high oxygen content (30-50%), leading to a relatively low heating value, high viscosity and poor stability. […]

Remote sensing of Earth using hyperspectral imaging satellites has become an area of key interest for civilian end-use applications in areas like agriculture, forestry management, flood risk assessment, minerology, and environmental monitoring. The aim of this project is to research and develop a hyperspectral camera payload for a CubeSat constellation. The success of this project […]

This fellowship will develop next generation Cell Pouch™ technology, through testing novel animal study (anti-cell death agents, insulin-producing mouse stem cells and islet health (metabolic engraftment efficiency) in parallel to a safety and efficacy (Phase I/II) clinical study of the Cell Pouch™ in Type 1 diabetic in which an in vitro measure of islet health […]
