Taking a restorative approach to sport reimagines how we can respond to the crisis of maltreatment in sport and athletes experiencing harm. This project will be an extension of restorative justice work on going in Nova Scotia which sees justice as concerned with securing and sustaining just relations. A restorative approach to justice supports responses […]

There are significant increases in the need of using service robots to adopt the roles of delivery vehicles and personal assistants. Atlantic Business Express is looking at bring the service robots to Canada, starting in Nova Scotia through working with Dalhousie University. The project is to improve the intelligent human-robot interaction interfaces for mobile service […]

Use of clear-text for network communication is quickly becoming obsolete. End-to-end encryption of mobile applications and proliferation of TLS based encrypted traffic are fueling the growth of encrypted traffic on the Internet. Many applications tunnel traffic over HTTPS. Today, over 80% of Internet traffic is encrypted. With the recent advancement of TLS handshake, traditional mechanisms […]

In partnership with the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre (MNFC) researchers from Dalhousie are interested in investigating what decolonization means to an Indigenous led organization that resides in a Western funded world. MNFC is interested in learning how to navigate what does it mean to be decolonized and how to engage with partners going forward. The […]

Atlantic Canada’s fishery industries have been identified as key sectors where market demand is expected to increase. PEI mussel and shellfish production employ over a thousand employees, and contributes in excess of CAD$60 million to PEI’s coastal and rural communities. Production of Atlantic Canadian shellfish has tripled since 1995 and is expected to continue growing […]

Big data refers to a class of applications that operate on large amounts of data. One paradigm that fits the big data applications category is the Internet of Things (IoT). Millions of IoT devices continuously produce data and exchange information to support critical applications in different scenarios, such as smart cities and smart homes. As […]

The community-based water quality program for Halifax Regional Municipality will target 76 lakes in the region to establish a long-term monitoring program to understand the trajectory of freshwater aquatic systems under continued and expanding urbanized influence. This new program will be led by HRM’s Water Program Coordinator with support from the Environment & Climate Change […]

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) a prominent material damage mechanisms in the process industries and pipelines which has reportedly caused countless failure events. Absorbed moisture in thermal insulation is the key reason behind CUI which also causes heat dissipation thereby posing the increased carbon footprint and reduced thermal efficiencies. The soaked thermal insulations have always been […]

Engaging with the Centre for Ocean Ventures subsea platform, the Stella Maris, this project provides sensor manufacturers with descriptive analytics of their sensor data. As brand new data is collected in conjunction with other sensors, a range of high-level analytics will identify future exploration and research opportunities for sensor companies.

The future of plant breeding arguably lies in the direct genetic transformation of plants for improved traits via gene editing. CRISPR is a relatively new and powerful gene editing tool that can be used to edit the DNA of any organism. CRISPR gene editing has the potential to improve apple fruit quality and speed up […]

Atmospheric corrosion, commonly known as weathering is among the leading causes of infrastructure degradation. The extent of atmospheric corrosion becomes more concerning when it triggers localized and non-linear metal loss rates. One such scenario is the localized corrosion at the flanged connections in piping, pipeline, and equipment for hydrocarbon industry and even utility sectors. As […]
