DESCRIPTION:聽\n\nAre you interested in a paid research internship? This pan
 el features Mitacs\, a non-profit Canadian organization\, that builds rese
 arch partnerships between academia\, industry and the world to create a mo
 re innovative Canada. Through unique research funding and training program
 s\, Mitacs aims to support the development of the next generation of innov
 ators with vital scientific and business skills.\n\nLearn about the progra
 ms and the application process as well as hear from students who have rece
 ntly returned from a national or international work experience.\n\n\n	Panel
 ists: (more to come)\n\nNoha Gerges\, PhD.\n\nNoha joined Mitacs in 2017 a
 nd is currently a Business Development Specialist there. Prior to Mitacs\,
  she worked as a Program Manager at the Research Institute of the MUHC\, t
 he Chief Strategic Officer of White Consulting\, a company dedicated to pr
 eparing science graduates with the tools needed to transition into the ind
 ustry\, and as the Social Media Editor for the Journal of Medical Genetics
 . With a diverse background in research\, management\, communications and 
 business solutions\, her role at Mitacs is to connect 大发彩票平台 with external
  partners and to drive economic development in Canada through collaborativ
 e innovation projects. Her full profile can be found here: www.linkedin.co
 m/in/ngerges\n\nMayar Abbasi\, M.Eng\n\nAfter completing my B.Eng - Electr
 ical from 大发彩票平台University in 2000\, I landed my first job with Motorola i
 n Montreal. During my nearly 10 years in the industry\, I gained experienc
 e in Software Engineering best practices\, Test Automation\, and the Telec
 om Industry. However\, a part of me was yearning for some higher learning\
 , preferably in Bio-medical engineering\, where I could apply my engineeri
 ng skills towards making peoples lives better. However\, being married wit
 h 3 children to support made the prospect of studying seem very difficult\
 , so I could only pray for a miracle. God answered my prayers in 2009\, wh
 en I fell ill and subsequent medical treatments gave me the opportunity to
  meet with different doctors\, with whom I casually discussed the possibil
 ity of doing software engineering work to advance their practice. One doct
 or\, an old friend based in Vancouver's KKT Spine Center\, was very intere
 sted\, and allowed me to visit the clinic and explore opportunities. We di
 scussed the possibility of using Computer Vision to automate his X-Ray ana
 lysis\, which was exciting for both of us. The final piece of the puzzle w
 as to arrange funding and guidance for this research. Here\, the clinic st
 aff suggested I explore the Mitacs program for funding\, if I can find a u
 niversity to partner with. So\, like a dream come true\, I ended up gettin
 g accepted for a Master's degree at 大发彩票平台's Center for Intelligent Machin
 es\, with a Mitacs scholarship for funding\, to do research on using Compu
 ter Vision for medical applications.\n\nHaving completed my Master's degre
 e in 2013\, I returned to the industry to pursue my engineering career\, w
 hile continuing on the side to advance my research for the medical company
 . My detour into 大发彩票平台 has made my life very complete\, enhancing my care
 er opportunities and helping me add purpose to my work\, while also exposi
 ng me to the research world. The Mitacs program was central in this achiev
 ement\, and I am grateful for it.\n\n聽\n\nDerek Albert\, PhD candidate\n\n
 Derek is completing his PhD in Psychiatry\, where he studies attention as 
 it relates to traffic. He is currently conducting a study examining how th
 oughts that are unrelated to ongoing tasks or the immediate environment ar
 e linked to changes in driving behaviour that may increase crash risk. He 
 has worked with a few companies during his master鈥檚 and Ph.D.\, mostly spe
 cializing in biometrics (e.g. eye tracking) and neurotechnology (e.g. EEG)
  involving attention.\n\n聽\n\nDr. Amy Nommeots-Nomm\n\nAmy completed her P
 hD in 2016 at Imperial College鈥檚 Department of Materials\, her work focuse
 d on creating scaffold for bone repair by additive manufacturing. She then
  worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Diamond Light Source for the 
 University of Manchester\, UK\, studying in-situ mechanical deformation of
 in vivobone scaffolds via synchrotron X-ray tomography. In 2016 she was aw
 arded a Presidents Fellowship at Tampere University of Technology in Finla
 nd to study oxyfluorophosphate glasses and to further her additive manufac
 turing research. She is currently employed at 大发彩票平台\, Canada w
 orking on an industrially sponsored MITACS project with Pratt and Whitney 
 Canada to develop the3D printing of aluminium alloys and surface treatment
