Betavoltaic power sources harvest the energy of radioisotopes to generate electricity. These devices offer a solution to the limitations of traditional lithium-ion batteries. They can provide uninterrupted and long-lasting power for critical systems such as subcutaneous medical implants, remote sensors for water supply lines, and monitoring systems for defence. Betavoltaic batteries transform recycled radioactive waste […]

This project uses approaches from anthropology, such as corporate ethnography, to guide the development of strategies for corporate social media management and analysis. Durable strategies and processes can be leveraged by Treefrog to help build a social media management and analysis department, increasing research and development capacity and sales. Through close collaboration with the programming […]

In remote and rural regions, where communication infrastructure is sparse and GPS is unreliable, emergency Search and Rescue (SAR) operations should be fast, reliable, and cost-effective. Existing technologies, such as thermal imaging and mobile-based systems like Cellular Airborne Sensor for Search and Rescue (CASSAR), depend on costly sensors, human interpretation, or the presence of a […]

This research project will support rural communities in Mongolia by creating climate change education and training materials tailored to their unique environment and way of life. Many herders and farmers in Mongolia face serious challenges due to extreme weather and changing climates, which affect their land, water, and food. Working with the ECCO-FARM project, the […]

Stablecoins are an emerging application of blockchain technology that tether the value of a cryptocurrency token to a traditional, ‘real-world’ asset (most commonly the American dollar). As stablecoin adoption grows and this technology becomes increasingly interconnected with traditional finance infrastructure (banks, payment companies, federal reserves, etc.), this project will explore the current methodology for the […]

This project aims to design a compact carbon capture system that can help small and mid-sized breweries reuse the CO2 they produce during fermentation. Over four months, the project will develop detailed system designs, technical drawings, and cost estimates to prepare the technology for real-world use. The work will also explore how the system can […]

Electroencephalogram (EEG) setup and application are time consuming (current solutions involve ~50.3 minutes of setup/patient or participant) and requires expert application (making it inaccessible to many). The extensive time to setup EEGs limits the number of research participants and patients that a researcher or clinician can see in one day. This problem directly impacts research […]

Project Title: AI-Powered Food Therapist for Health Monitoring and Dietary Therapy Project Description: This project is an innovative AI-powered health application designed to empower users to monitor their health through medical image analysis and receive personalized food therapy recommendations. Users can upload medical images—such as photos of their tongue, skin, eyes, or other relevant diagnostic […]

This project will help Aview International build an automated system that improves the quality and efficiency of translated and dubbed content. Right now, human reviewers leave feedback on content errors like bad subtitles or misaligned audio, but these changes must be fixed manually. The intern will design tools to turn that feedback into structured data, […]

Over 170 million persons worldwide are chronically infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV), leading to endstage liver disease and cancer. HCV is the single most common indication for liver transplantation in Canada and the rest of the Western world. After transplant, HCV re-infection is universal and is the chief cause of graft loss. Treatment of […]

This project focuses on developing a durable, low-power tracking device for small construction equipment, enabling contractors to automatically monitor machine usage, idle time, and location. This technology reduces theft, cuts down on fuel waste, and eliminates manual tracking, helping improve productivity across underserved construction SMEs across Canada. Over four months, the intern will enhance the […]

The proposed project is an ergonomic manual shovel that aims to decrease stress and injury. The project aims to improve manual transfer of materials for farmers, construction workers, landscapers, and homeowners. The goal of this project is to improve the technological readiness of an initial prototype to bring it closer to commercialization.
