The objective of the project is to analyse spatio-temporal trends in solar raditation at the ground surface in the last decades in the Arctic. It requires to compare local spatio-temporal trends of radiation data to global dataset (e.g. Tang 2019, 1983-2018). This project requires large data manipulation and visualisation as well as a technologic understanding […]

Amidst various causes of car accidents, those which result due to unseen vehicles or objects play an important role. Automatic Blind spot detection system is, therefore, one of the solutions which can improve the safety feature of a vehicle. Moovee Innovations, Inc., our partner company, is developing a light-weight vehicle designed to travel at urban […]

Carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of fossil fuels and as a by-product of many chemical processes. The increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has now been decisively linked to global climate change. The use CO2 as a carbon-building block has attracted much attention due to its low cost, ease availability, and its […]

Avec la mondialisation des marchés et la forte compétition de l’industrie, les entreprises doivent se démarquer par des produits plus personnalisés tout en maintenant des prix abordables. L’utilisation des concepts de la production de masse personnalisée amène plus de complexité pour l’entreprise étant donné le nombre de pièces de plus en plus élevé. La recherche […]

Concevoir, développer et implémenter un système de surveillance On-line (permanent) dédié à la surveillance du comportement dynamique des machines basses vitesses. Une première phase sera allouée à l’étude de faisabilité, l’état de l’art, le choix de l’architecture (matériel et logiciel), et l’implémentation des protocoles de communication, c’est la mise en place de la chaine d’acquisition. […]

The project is designed to reduce the carbon intensity of ethylene production in Alberta. Ethylene is an important building block for the chemical industry to produce plastics, consumer goods, solvents, and paints. Ethylene is predominantly produced by steam cracking, releasing up to 2.7 kg CO2 eq./ kg of polyethylene produced. In Alberta, the production of […]

This project will help the drilling industry accept new technologies. This work will focus on create and testing more robust controllers for choke control, applying advanced controller techniques and designing these controllers to accommodate diverse operating conditions in different rigs.

The purpose of the research project is to identify the main soil types found within the FortisBC Electric service territory and identify the best alternatives for power pole installations within each soil type. This information will be made readily available to power line designers for use when selecting the foundation alternative during the design process […]

River management aims to balance environmental needs such as habitat against the protection of infrastructure (e.g. roads, pipelines, property) from flooding, erosion, and other geohazards. The ability to effectively navigate this trade-off stems from a fundamental understanding of how rivers function. However, management projects often rely on highly simplified models of river processes (such as […]

Mactaquac Generating Station, the largest hydroelectric power plant in the Maritime provinces, is located near the capital city of Fredericton, on the Saint John River. In the mid-1970s, concrete structures at Mactaquac began to show signs of distress due to Alkali-silica reaction (ASR), resulting in cracks and leakage. The goal of this research project is […]

We are developing a circular economy computational model for cellular agriculture supply chains to identify the potential social, environmental and economic benefits of using underutilized resources as inputs. This project will identify synergies between unlikely actors who could exchange resources – such as pea starch (byproduct of pea processing) that can be used as raw […]

Across Canada, electricity is becoming a scarce resource as there are increasingly urgent calls to electrify fossil fuel loads. Furthermore, even if ample generation is present, the electrical grid will be unable to accommodate the increased demand. This research project will propose and investigate tangible solutions to optimize the power flow and usage within the […]
