Apache doesn't have to be the "owner". They just have to have complete rights to create derivative works and redistribute the software.
Your university may have an issue with that. You should ask them. You should also check with anybody who is funding your research. The university research officer should be a good place to start with that question as well. Also, be very careful because many people answering your question (like me) will be giving you US-centric answers. Since you are in Canada, the answers may be importantly different.
