“In today’s business environment, major corporations need to partner with small companies to develop new technologies. Small companies bring ideas – major corporations bring the resources to develop and market those ideas. I understand and can bridge that culture gap where everyone wins.”

Congratulations to Stephen Millar on being selected for a place on the Radiography Diagnostics program at the University of Ulster, NI. This is a prestigious and much sought after program sponsored by the UK National Health Service.
Recent project:
Haisley Millar recently completed an engagement with Memorial University of Newfoundland where we worked with the VP of Research and the Director of the Office of Research Services to review, critique, provide counsel and help develop funding applications for research projects that were submitted to Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. This program is approximately equivalent to the U.S. National Science Foundation program.
“I would like to personally thank you for your work on this project, with a particular note of thanks on how this was executed so independently. As we have discussed, given the volume of applications that ORS had to deal with, it was extremely valuable to be able to rely on you to undertake this project with minimal interjection and engagement from ORS.” Dr. Marlies Rise, Director Office of Research Services, Memorial University of Newfoundland.
