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 […]

L’industrie minière réutilise les roches stériles dans la fabrication des remblais rocheux cimentés (RRC) afin d’assurer un support secondaire des épontes des excavations minières souterraines. Toutefois, la qualité du durcissement du RRC reste incertaine du fait de la grande hétérogénéité des roches stériles. À ce jour, l’industrie minière ne dispose pas d’une méthode standard de […]

Création d’un produit d’inspection numérique pour les entreprises d’enchères automobiles

This research project entails a comprehensive series of tasks aimed at enhancing the functionality and effectiveness of a pediatric ankle exoskeleton, specifically designed to provide gait assistance to children with locomotor disabilities. The project encompasses crucial elements such as technical validation, design validation, and the refinement of the control strategy. Throughout these endeavors, our primary […]

The increasing occurrence of unprecedented natural disasters attributed to climate change serves as a constant reminder of the necessity to decrease reliance on fossil fuels. In order to harvest renewable energy sources as a solution, our research proposes an innovative method of extracting maximum energy from ocean waves via piezoceramic material. In this work, the […]

Les technologies liées aux systèmes d’aide aux prises des décisions dans des navires intelligents ont atteint un niveau de maturité élevé dans les dernières années. Pendant ce temps, les navires autonomes et sans pilote ont aussi été largement étudiés en parallèle aux véhicules autonomes, comme les chargeuses autonomes dans les mines. Bien que la technologie […]

Production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) contributes to 8% global CO2 emission. There is now increased effort to find alternative materials that are sustainable, readily available, and cheap. Several supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) from natural resources and waste product have been used to partially replace OPC and have shown beneficial effect. New efforts by Carbon […]

The requested Mitacs-Accelerate Internship application will support Dr. Yishan Liu (as an intern) and Dr. Yonghao Ni (as supervisor) of the University of New Brunswick and Neucel Specialty Cellulose. The overall objectives of the project are: 1) to improve the quality of dissolving pulps; 2) to decrease the manufacturing costs by using low-cost wood material. […]
