An ideal fragrance carrier system should not only be safe but also allow for a prolonged release of fragrances over time without affecting the overall performance of the perfume. However, very little progress has been made to improve the formulation of perfumes despite the size and high social status associated with the market. My project […]

The widespread availability of broadband internet has transformed Canadian life. However, the increasing volume of data traffic strains the “last mile” access networks that deliver broadband internet to individual premises. The cable industry has responded with updates to the dominant standard for cable modems (CMs) and cable modem termination systems (CMTSs), known as DOCSIS. The […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à étudier la performance environnementale et économique de certaines activités de La Centrale Agricole. Cette coopérative regroupe des entreprises œuvrant dans le domaine de l’agriculture urbaine. Cette évaluation permettra de comprendre si la gestion des matières résiduelles dans un site décentralisé, c’est-à-dire à l’endroit où est générée la matière permet […]

Detection and quantification of biological species are critical to many areas of healthcare and life science, either intending to diagnose diseases or discover and screen new medicine molecules. Central to detection are the biosensors that generate a signal associated with the selective recognition of a species of interest. Nanostructures, such as oxide nanowires with large […]

This study aims to develop a soft and flexible magnetic millirobot based on elastic and biocompatible polymers that can generate voltage as it moves. By using this proposed millirobot, locomotion efficiency can be increased with a decrease in resistance under challenging and harsh conditions in stomachs and digestion systems. In addition, it can serve as […]

The research project will be focusing on the manufacturing of nanoparticles for the processing of symmetrical fuel-electrode half cells (as part of solid oxide cells). This will be conducted via flame spray pyrolysis, which uses aqueous salt solutions to produce metal oxide nanoparticles on electrolytes. Hereby, a fine mist is sprayed into a flame, which […]

The project focuses on the development of some HPC mixtures using concrete materials available in Newfoundland. The developed HPC mixtures can be successfully used by concrete suppliers in Newfoundland area especially for the construction of marine and offshore structures. The project also aims to provide data-based analysis on the service life of some local concrete […]

Failure in pipelines may have financial and life-threatening consequences. High-quality weld joints in pipelines can avoid these consequences and improve the company’s productivity and reputation. To improve the weld quality, an efficient solution is to detect the defects. A collaboration of human and robots can provide an accurate, robust defect detection system. This system requires […]

Riding Mountain National Park is a national park in western Manitoba and managed by Parks Canada. The populations of Riding Mountain National Park and Wasagaming town are seasonal and fluctuate drastically throughout the year. During the peak season, which generally runs from May to October, Riding Mountain National Park is a very popular tourist destination, […]

To support blue hydrogen economy processes that generate CO2 as a by-product, and greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration studies in general, the injection and storage of CO2 into deep (~1500m), un-minable coal seams hosted in the Mannville Formation of Alberta will be studied. Using the successful proof-of-concept field injection pilot results from the first phase of […]

The aim of this project consists in developing a resilient control architecture for LFC problems in networked multi-area power systems able to match the power generation to the load demand and deal with the occurrence of anomalies along the network medium due to the actions of external intruders. Accordingly, the proposal will move along two […]

Today, construction activities have resulted in the depletion of vast amounts of non-renewable resources that cause climate change which is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our day. The construction industry is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Sustainable construction is now mainstream, necessitating the investigation of environment friendly construction material […]
