Grants and Contributions

This project will test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms to design (or optimize) a repeatable and scalable business process, which may result in new business methods for the firm’s primary offering is a unified, AI-ready, cloud-based coordination system that supports radiologists, teleradiology providers, and integrated healthcare networks in managing diagnostic workloads with enhanced speed, accuracy, and fairness.

Develop low cost, flexible and user friendly autonomous mobile robot (AMR), with competitive payload to power ratio, for applications in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing and agriculture.

This Canada–Germany collaboration aims to accelerate the discovery of next-generation lithium-ion battery materials by integrating self-driving laboratories (SDLs), advanced diagnostics, and AI. The project focuses on optimizing cathode–electrolyte combinations to improve battery performance, safety, and longevity. Using rapid electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), high-throughput characterization, and AI-guided optimization, the team will develop and validate materials and methods for scalable production. Partners include Pulsenics, NRC, McMaster University, Preli GmbH, and Helmholtz-Institute Münster/FZJ.

Antimicrobial resistance is a top 10 global health threat and innovations are required to combat a silent pandemic expected to cause more deaths than cancer by 2050. A leading candidate is the use of the oldest natural enemy of bacteria—their own viruses called bacteriophages or phages. There are no specific clinical criteria for bacteriophage susceptibility and testing with routine methods is cumbersome and manual. This Project proposes the use of a microfluidic device to screen bacteriophages for E. coli, Staphylococcus (including methicillin-resistant S. aureus), and Pseudomonas (including P. aeruginosa). This device expands on Sci-Bot technology using two fluorescent detectors for a screen of up to 30 phages in as little as 3 hours, to a tailored digital microfluidic chamber allowing for single droplet analysis, titration, and synergy. This builds on work with HHT and CRAFT colleagues and will be expanded to an NRC and Innovate UK collaboration on phage production.

The Project will support pilot testing of AI strategies, determine target architecture and quantitative technical objectives for implementation of an AI solution.

Project to push Gambit from purely AI based conversations to integrated context specific workflows.

Electron Beam Deposition Feasibility Study

AKA High Reliability Power & Propulsion Technology

This project advances secure, AI-enabled digital engineering workflows for regulated shipbuilding in Canada. It explores Canadian-sovereign secure enclave architectures for project execution and software development, alongside AI-assisted techniques to convert complex shipbuilding inputs (such as legacy technical drawings and documents) into structured, traceable digital assets. The project aims to reduce information overload, speed expert validation, and detect design issues early, while maintaining human accountability and auditability.

This project aims to integrate artificial intelligence into the Kommander platform to support law enforcement by streamlining decision-making and enabling automated monitoring of emergency vehicles.
