Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

In this project we address the problem of power consumption for wireless sensor nodes. This is where among different components of a sensor, RF transceivers consume a significant amount of power e.g. approximately 80%. Hence the main objective is this project is to tackle the power consumption problem at the RF transmitter, where we aim […]

Head Injury Prevention (HIP) Lab at Simon Fraser University in collaboration with Shield-X Technology Inc. had previously developed an impact diverting mechanism in the form of a thin multi-layered-membrane. The technology has been successfully integrated onto the exterior of a football helmet (external version) to reduce linear and rotational acceleration experienced during impact to the […]

In this internship cluster, the graduate student interns will investigate relevant research topics facing the offshore industry operating in harsh offshore and ocean environments. The research topics will include the investigation of ice loads and shallow water waves, response of floating structures and dynamic positioning in harsh environments, structural integrity of vessels and structures in […]

We propose to mitigate corrosion in potash mining and processing plants by introducing corrosion inhibitor to potash brine solutions. We will screen and formulate a cost-effective corrosion inhibitor that is compatible to potash mining and processing operation, but does not degrade quality of potash products and still provides high corrosion inhibition performance. The formulated corrosion […]

Les stériles miniers sont des roches qui sont excavées lors de l’exploitation d’une mine, mais qui n’ont pas de valeur économique. Ces stériles sont disposés en empilements appelés haldes à stériles. Selon leur composition, l’eau qui s’introduit dans la halde peut en ressortir contaminée et s’écouler vers le milieu environnant. Pour empêcher la formation et […]

L’inspection de structures souterraines (Figure 1) à l’aide de méthodes d’inspection ‘traditionnelles’ telles que des inspections visuelles, forages et excavations peut s’avérer coûteuse, inefficace ou impraticable due à des contraintes économiques, d’efficacités et de sécurités. Le développement de nouvelles méthodes d’inspections répondant aux besoins de l’industrie est donc primordial afin de permettre aux propriétaires de […]

L’inspection de structures souterraines à l’aide de méthodes d’inspection ‘traditionnelles’ telles que des inspections visuelles, forages et excavations peut s’avérer coûteuse, inefficace ou impraticable due à des contraintes économiques, d’efficacités et de sécurités. Le développement d’une méthode d’inspection basée sur l’étude de la propagation des ondes élastiques permettant d’évaluer l’intégrité structurelle de la dalle formant […]

The Ontario government provides healthcare funding to fourteen Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) across Ontario. LHINs in turn are responsible for structuring health care delivery and allocating funds to best meet the needs of the population in the region. However, there are limited tools available to help LHINs evaluate the system-wide implications of proposed policy […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to use bias corrected climate model output to drive a hydrological model of the Churchill River Basin in Labrador. This represents a major milestone in an existing research collaboration between Memorial University and Nalcor Energy, the primary objective of which is to determine the effects of climate […]

Leader dans le domaine de l’acoustique et du contrôle du bruit, Mecanum offre depuis plusieurs années une large gamme de produits et services pour l’étude de solutions acoustiques et la détermination des propriétés de différents types de matériaux acoustiques. Fort d’un partenariat entretenu de longue date avec l’université de Sherbrooke, Mecanum a pu continuellement développer […]
