Convective storms bring heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and sometimes hail, posing significant risks to cities, farms, and infrastructure. These intense storms are especially common in Canada’s Prairies during the summer and are becoming more severe with climate change. To better predict these storms, we need detailed climate models because convective storms usually happen over small areas […]

This project aims to revolutionize PVC recycling in a circular vinyl economy by further developing and optimizing a novel approach called Selective Dissolution and Precipitation (SDP). PVC, a widely used plastic, poses recycling challenges due to its complex composition, especially in multilayer materials, like coated fabrics. SDP involves selectively dissolving PVC from mixed plastic waste […]

The research project involves three interns collaborating on an innovative solution to improve farm management by automating weed control. Intern #1 is tasked with developing a smart system that uses machine learning and computer vision to distinguish between crops and weeds, ensuring the robot can identify what needs to be removed without damaging valuable plants. […]

L’objectif du projet est d’innover dans la conception d’un C-OTDR (Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) et de trouver le meilleur compromis entre la performance et les coûts. Les C-OTDR sont utilisés dans des marchés niches tels que les applications de mesure sur les liens sous-marins ainsi que dans différents types de senseurs haut de gamme […]

Cette recherche vise à concevoir, dimensionner et optimiser un système novateur pour produire, liquéfier et stocker l’hydrogène en exploitant l’eau de mer et le vent des côtes du Nouveau Brunswick. On compte maximiser son rendement énergétique et sa robustesse tout en minimisant le coût économique et environnemental. Ceci passe par le choix des sources d’énergie […]

High plasma cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) is a potential consequence of obesity that is becoming a major public health challenge. Excess caloric intake without a corresponding increase in energy expenditure is believed to be the major contributing factor to weight gain among Canadians leading to hypercholesterolemia. This ‘silent killer’, hypercholesterolemia is characterized by increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol […]

Recent statistics in Canada highlight a growing aging population, with 18.8% aged 65 and older, projected to increase by 6.2% by 2036. Falls and pressure injuries (PI) are major concerns for seniors and hospitalized patients, contributing significantly to hospitalizations. About 20-30% of seniors experience falls annually, leading to 85% of senior injury-related hospitalizations. While various […]

In this proposal, intern will be tasked with reinforcement learning algorithm to refine the process of material selection. This method of machine learning is designed to iteratively enhance decision-making, ensuring the most effective materials are identified for various applications. The focus will be on aligning the materials’ performance characteristics with their intended use. As a […]

In this project, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) from the industry partner EcoMarine Technologies Inc is used to navigate underwater to execute the tasks of capturing and filtering the biofouling when performing hull cleaning for ships in the ocean. In order to avoid harmful debris being released into the sea when cleaning, environmentally friendly […]

This NSERC Alliance MITACS grant brings together a world-renowned semiconductor micromanufacturing industrial leader Teledyne Micralyne, and a microfluidic device design and process development researcher to develop wafer-scale and versatile microfluidic fabrication processes adaptable to major microfluidic applications. It will provide a unique research and training opportunity for HQPs to enhance their professional and technical skills […]

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a method of 3D printing using arc welding to build up shapes out of weld metal. The project aims to build an in-expensive gantry for mounting welding equipment to carry out WAAM and a control system with AI integration for the robot to which can learn about the complex […]

There is increasing evidence showing an increase in motor vehicle crashes associated with young drivers who consume cannabis. While studies show that smoking or vaping cannabis is associated with impaired driving performance, there have been no studies examining the influence of edibles on driving performance. Additionally, prior studies have not defined the type of cannabis […]
