The School has a long tradition of encouraging industry collaboration through graduate and undergraduate internships. This summer, a number of QSC researchers were able to secure new funding for their students to take advantage of industry partnerships.
Dr. Bram Adams was recently awarded a Mitacs Accelerate Grant with Ubisoft Montreal, in support of the project: RevMate: Towards an optimized review process in AAA game development.
Dr. Salimur Choudhury was awarded funding from the Mitacs Accelerate program for three projects:
- Streamlining Medical Administration: Developing an AI Solution for Automating Medical Form Processing in Canada, with industry partner WaiveTheWait Inc.
- Data Driven Efficient Surgery Scheduling Systems, with industry partner Sifio Health
- Global Talent Streamlining: Leveraging AI for Strategic Immigration Solutions in the Canadian Labour Market, with industry partner Greenberg Hameed Professional Corporation
Mitacs Accelerate is the primary research internship program in Canada that funds work integrated learning for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. These collaborations improve the level of research excellence of our graduate students by letting them practice their theoretical skills in real-life business applications.
In addition to securing opportunities for his own students, Dr. Bram Adams will be accepting an internship through the Mitacs Globalink Research Award Program, in support of the project Development of computational methods for heart surgery planning.
The Mitacs Globalink Research Internship Program offers funding for international senior undergraduate students from select countries and universities to perform research in Canada.
