This project will study how underbody components (tailpipe, muffler, rear fascia brackets and spare wheel compartment) withstand thermal loads over time through the use of a heat-transfer model (using RadTherm simulation package) of the vehicle under investigation as well as the first-order Taylor Series expansion. The Taylor Series will be used to calculate the sensitivity […]

The purpose of this project is to improve process of operational activities by creating more efficient, customer-focused, and agile technical sales team. This project aims to streamline sales processes, optimize resource allocation, and improve collaboration within the team. Moreover, this project will systematically identify, address, and optimize sales and operations process and improve overall performance […]

The main aim of this project is to utilize chitin and its derivatives to fabricate super-macroporous bioinks using our mist-based printhead technology. The proposed project fosters a circular economy by expanding the bioink and bioprinting market and contributing to sustainable economic growth, while simultaneously addressing environmental challenges associated with crustacean shell waste. Additionally, it opens […]

Canada’s international marine trade, accounting for 80% of its commerce with countries beyond North America, surged to an impressive $205 billion in 2015. In this dynamic industry, the maintenance and repair sector assume a pivotal role in managing the life cycle costs of marine vessels, with approximately 72% of the budget allocated to its operation. […]

Future ships will be greener and safer, because they will be self-driving. But testing self-driving ships in the ocean is complicated and dangerous. For that reason, we invented a new way of building smaller models of ships, to safely tests these new technologies. Building ships our way is cheaper and easier than older methods and […]

Les sources et niveaux de bruits sous-marins d’origine humaine, le bruit anthropique, n’ont cessé de croitre depuis les cinquante dernières années. Parmi les activités humaines générant ce bruit, la navigation commerciale figure parmi les principales contributrices et le bruit qu’elle émet est principalement généré par l’hélice et la machinerie des navires. Il existe des technologies […]

In this research endeavor, our goal is to develop user-friendly software tailored for scientists and engineers specializing in the study of fluid dynamics, particularly within oceanic contexts. Imagine it as an adaptable and comprehensive toolkit designed to simplify their intricate experimental tasks. Initially, we will meticulously craft the software, prioritizing ease of use and efficiency. […]

We are hoping to explore the market potential and customer base for the Antifouling and Anti-corrosive Marine Coating. There is a need for durable antifouling and anti-corrosive coating for marine applications which are made within Canada (doesn’t have supply chain issue), could be easily scale-up in production and industrial application, are economically viable, confirms to […]

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic compounds that are called as “forever chemicals” in the environment. These chemical cause stress on the environment and human health. Therefore, study on the analysis of PFAS is necessary for the environmental quality and sustainable development. The research project “Analysis of PFAS by liquid chromatography with triple […]

Marine data is vital for protecting fisheries, understanding climate change’s impact, and supporting ocean industry. However, collecting data is costly, challenging, and time-consuming. Renewable energy powered unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a promising solution for marine data collection due to their maneuverability, sensor payload, and ease of use. Yet, uncertain environmental factors lead to intermittent […]

Cell population dynamics can be described by cell population balance models. These models can be utilized for model-based control design but major aspects, which have not been captured in these models so far, are the regulation and mutational adaptation of the cells in long-term cultivations. Due to the stochastic nature of biological diversity and mutational […]

The main topic of this project is to detect the presence and direction of cross-sea waves on the sea surface using X-band radar images. The cross-sea wave pattern may have significant energy and instantaneous irregularity, making it potentially dangerous. The target customer groups of this project include the shipping companies and shipowners, fishing industry, and […]
