AMNIe was built to address the systemic challenges through a cross-sector collaborative approach to innovation and scaling of solutions that address economic, environmental and social challenges. The primary role of the Business Strategy & Operations team will be to coordinate the expansion of AMNIE’s growing Expert Network by liaising with the business partners, working with […]

This project will require the intern to work on business development and operations activities for the organization. Business development activities would include conducting relevant market research and developing product roadmap. Operations related activities could include developing costing models and product management responsibilities.

Diamond like carbon (DLC) is an amorphous form of carbon with a high fraction of diamondlike (sp3) bonds. DLC thin films have many attractive attributes including extraordinary hardness, enhanced lubrication and wear resistance properties. Aurora Scientific Corp. is the provider of advanced vacuum coating systems based on its patented physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology. Aurora […]

Stiris Research is an organization focusing on managing clinical trials for biopharmaceutical and biotech companies. Prior to a drug getting FDA approved, the drug has to go through an extensive and regulated process of testing on clinical patients. Stiris Research captures value by coming in at this part of the industry supply chain and managing […]

This study aims to improve process efficiencies while supporting the development of products that best respond to market trends in the context of a post COVID-19 globalized market. From a process engineering perspective, the proposed activities seek to improve mill competitiveness through waste management to both reduce load on water treatment systems and obtain value […]

This goal of this project is to develop a Standards Proposal and initial framework to guide the use of online voting in municipal elections in Ontario. Elections in municipalities in Ontario are among the most digital in the world, yet there are no guidelines to shepherd use of the technology. Working with our partners we […]

This twelve-month project aims to understand and propose a practical solution to prevent transmission of COVID-19 from contact with contaminated surfaces. It addresses a challenge of crucial importance for Canada and for Bioastra Technologies, a Canadian company specialising in smart materials for health, robotics and environmental applications. BioAstra was recently designated as an “essential service” […]

Face aux changements globaux, nos infrastructures naturelles, et donc les services qu’elles produisent, sont fortement menacées et le risque de les voir disparaître est de plus en plus inquiétant Ainsi, afin de maintenir – voire augmenter – les services rendus par nos infrastructures naturelles pour le bénéfices des 83% de canadiens vivant en milieux urbains, […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’intégrer un système d’échantillonnage (SE) de l’eau développé par l’INRS à la technologie de drone de DroneXperts. Le stagiaire devra adapter le système de fixation du SE au drone, intégrer son système de contrôle à celui du drone et effectuer les essais en milieu contrôlé et réel. La réalisation de […]

Epilepsy, characterized by recurrent seizures, affects 1% of the population. More than 30% of patients are drug-resistant, a significant burden to their lives. New innovative ways to treat the disorder are needed. Cannabidiol (CBD), a nonpsychoactive compound derived from the cannabis plant, has been shown to be a promising new treatment for epilepsy. In collaboration […]

Currently, burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas as a primary source of energy is a contributor to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate change. Fuel cells are a promising environmentally friendly technology for sustainable clean energy, where the only byproduct is water. An important component of fuel cells for generating electricity […]

Contamination of soils and groundwater with gasoline often results in the development of anaerobic zones. Benzene is particularly persistent under anaerobic conditions even in the enhanced anaerobic biodegradation (EAB) process. Degradation of benzene has been demonstrated under nitratereducing condition, and sulphate-reducing condition. However, information of dominant indigenous species within the microorganisms for degrading benzene is […]
