Le projet de recherche consiste à explorer et à développer de nouvelles méthodes pour accompagner les startups spécialisées dans les technologies matérielles, appelées “hardtech”, telles que l’Internet des objets (IoT) ou les technologies énergétiques. Contrairement aux startups axées sur le développement de logiciels, les entreprises hardtech font face à des défis uniques, notamment en matière […]

Street2School is a youth-led initiative that addresses the growing issue of educational inequity in Nigeria, particularly among out-of-school children in underserved communities like Zamani. With over 10.5 million children currently out of school in Nigeria, according to UNICEF, our mission is to provide these children with access to quality education, breaking the cycle of poverty […]

This project is focused on the design and optimization of a helmet, the Regulated Multi-stage Air-pressurized Chambers Helmet (R-MACH), that incorporates a unique idea aimed at effectively mitigating rotational forces without compromising on weight or performance at high impact velocities. Our novel design leverages interconnected air-pressurized chambers and elastic materials, instead of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) […]

This work focuses on solar-driven hydrogen production and the valorization of glycerol into value-added chemicals using advanced photocatalysis techniques. By combining renewable energy with glycerol waste management, this research addresses two critical challenges: reducing greenhouse gas emissions through clean hydrogen production and creating a sustainable, circular economy by converting biodiesel byproducts into useful chemicals. There […]

ELISAs are one of the most utilized immunoassays for rapid disease diagnostics, disease surveillance, biomarker quantification, food inspection, and food analysis. Since the invention of ELISAs over 50 years ago, they have been restricted to single-use disposable test kits. Invention of reusable ELISAs is a potentially market-disrupting advancement that requires market validation. The Lab2Market Validate […]

Brain aneurysms are blisters on brain arteries caused by high blood pressure and smoking. Every 18 minutes, a brain aneurysm ruptures, leading to 1,370 deaths a day worldwide. This project seeks to develop an innovative brain implantable device to treat brain aneurysms through prototyping, lab validation, and customer discovery and feedback. The partner organization supports […]

Global navigation satellite systems have significantly improved aeronautical navigation over the past decades, providing a safe and precise means of navigating airspace. Unfortunately, recent years have seen a worrying increase in GPS interference incidents in aviation, which is alarming because GPS is crucial for modern aviation navigation and safety. GPS interference, through jamming and spoofing, […]

This research project aims to solve the problem of fragmented data in the aviation industry by developing a system that integrates and analyzes various data sources.

The focus […]

The proposed project focuses on developing advanced AI technologies to enhance the partner organization’s platform. The intern will work on integrating and optimizing AI-driven solutions, such as personalized nutrition analysis and professional-client data sharing, using tools like OpenAI’s models and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). By strengthening the AI workflows, including speech recognition and data processing, […]

Medventions is a full-time 14 week paid program that allows students and new graduates to take part in physician-led, hospital-based fellowship training. Fellows come from different areas of study and will get hands on experience in a clinical setting with innovators and experienced mentors. It equips fellows to identify priority healthcare needs and develop their […]

The aging population faces mobility challenges, with existing devices offering only basic, passive support, which increases the risk of falls and injuries. The proposed solution, AidMe LLM-Powered Mobility Framework, enhances motorized assistive devices with AI, allowing users to issue voice commands and receive adaptive support. This improves user autonomy and reduces injury risks. This BSI […]

This project aims to develop a vertical farming system that will produce fresh, high-quality crops in urban areas, helping to address food insecurity and promote wellness. Using advanced farming technology, the system will require less land and water compared to traditional agriculture, making it more sustainable and efficient. The expected benefits for the partner organization […]
