Solid-state nanopores—small holes in thin membranes comparable in size to individual molecules—are promising candidates as sensors with which to revolutionize DNA sequencing, personalized medicine, point-of-care diagnostics, and next-generation information storage methods. A method by which these nanopores can be fabricated on an industrial scale was recently invented, but challenges remain, particularly in quality-controlling source materials […]

Learning from relational data is crucial for modeling the processes found in many application domains ranging from computational biology to social networks. In this project, we propose to work on developing new modeling techniques that combine the advantages of the approaches found in two fields of study: Machine Learning (through graph neural networks and transformer […]

This student will join the FutureVault marketing and strategy team. This team has a number of key mandates for the organization. The team supports and influences the strategic direction and design of the overall product and solution with a focus on driving product-market fit to ensure that the products and services being developed have the […]

Predict is currently working on initiating digital health pilots, RePill and HotDoc, that are slated for Fall 2020. Our first project codenamed RePill, a digital pharmacy marketplace to improve patient choice and prescription adherence, is under development. RePill aligns the most up-to-date pharmacological practice standards and PHIPA-compliant digital health regulations. The current prototype is designed […]

The Business Operations Intern will work on: • Creating and maintaining automated reports and dashboards • Developing systems to audit and improve data quality • Work with CS stakeholders to develop experiments, implement new strategies and optimize our CS processes. Learning opportunities will include: • Learn how to produce & maintain automated reporting in sheets […]

In this research project, research on cross-reality urban games that foster social engagement and interaction among city-dwellers with themselves and the urban spaces they inhabit will be furthered. Special attention will be paid to the shared experience of time and memory, as these two interface in Urbanoid’s cross-reality urban game x-ode. The knowledge gained will […]

In the new reality of COVID-19 pandemic, contactless cooking and serving in food industry becomes a new essential prospect to reduce virus transmission by reducing human labor and human-food interaction. The goal of this project is to develop an intelligent robot system to manipulate tools and food items in a restaurant counter and kitchen environment […]

The purpose of this project is to add a feature to Rentrax so that business owners can track the physical location of their rental items. Device should be small enough to be hidden in rental items such as bikes. Battery usage of device should be as low as possible so that it doesn’t need frequent […]

With physical interactions greatly restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is forced to rapidly adapt and embrace digital transformation. There is an urgent need for a digital identity infrastructure to authenticate users who rely on online services. The system must accurately validate physical identities, provide each user the ability to control access to […]

The Machine Learning team at Aifred Health is aiming to improve the performance of their core decision support models and the intern will assist in the development of a system that will intelligently iterate across dozens of unique model configurations to find the best performing one by leveraging previous configurations and their performance outcomes. The […]

Virtual Production (VP) is seeing a dramatic spike in interest and adaptation as the global film industry, particularly Hollywood, has been shutdown due to Covid-19. Virtual production is a broad term referring to a spectrum of computer-aided production and visualization filmmaking methods, and is also being used for broader applications from animation to industrial visualization. […]

The focus of this project is replacing some of the current automotive parts by a stronger and lighter thermally-conductive polymer nanocomposite. This project takes advantage of the exceptional mechanical and thermal properties of graphene as a commercially viable and environmentally friendly nanomaterial, through an industrial scale process, i.e. injection molding. Therefore, the outcome of this […]
