Mental health is a pressing health issue in today’s society that requires more research to better prevent, identify, and mental health disorders in children and adolescence. Our pilot data suggests that bacterial in our mouths (the oral microbiome) may play an important role in mental health but requires further investigation in larger more diversity populations […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

The proposed research project aims to work alongside Canada’s largest wood preservation company, Stella-Jones, to help solve an ongoing industrial challenge. Since phasing out the popular wood preservative chromated copper arsenate (CCA) for residential use in the early 2000’s, the wood preservation industry has begun to formulate new wood preservatives as an alternative. Since these […]

This project will attempt to explore the solution space around a number of key issues related to passive underwater acoustic monitoring. Namely the mitigation of acoustic flow noise in turbulent environments, digital compression techniques for underwater acoustic data and the implementation of real time signal processing algorithms related to the detection of marine mammals on […]

This project was born from the Medventions Atlantic Fellowship where, as a part of the psychiatry team, Chloe Robichaud shadowed Dr. Abraham Nunes to identify any problems that stood in the path of innovation and optimization within the field of psychiatric care. As a psychiatrist in the Mood Disorders Clinic in the NSHA Central Zone, […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project is an R&D project intended to solve the problem relating to a piece of machinery, a retail kiosk for distribution of age-restricted beverages, that has overall reliability issues due to a compounding of sub-optimally performing devices and subsystems exacerbated by competing timeouts; and unpredictability of human users.

The presence of steroid hormones in the environment is an emerging global issue. Steroid estrogens are of particular concern due to their toxicity to humans and aquatic life at low (ng/L) concentrations and their considerable presence in human waste streams. Standard treatment processes in municipal treatment plants often do not completely degrade estrogenic compounds, and […]

This project seeks to fully develop Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) technology, elevating it from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to market readiness. CIDS, a novel paint-based digital technology, aims to revolutionize corrosion and asset integrity management across various industries. It integrates impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) within a coating, marking a significant innovation in […]

The need to reduce fossil fuel use is urgent, especially in sectors that produce a lot of greenhouse gases like heavy-duty road transportation. This is necessary because of increasing energy demand, urbanization, and global climate change. In Canada alone, more than $30 billion is spent yearly on fuel for heavy vehicles, resulting in a large […]

Development of an ultrasonic detector for detecting partial discharges (PD) across high voltage insulators or electrical connections

The Actively Sober app is an ambitious project that combines advanced artificial intelligence with a keen understanding of cultural nuances to address the widespread issue of alcohol misuse. By employing AI algorithms that continuously scan digital platforms to identify and block alcohol-related content, the app aims to create a supportive environment for users, helping them […]
