Downhole turbines are drilling tools that use the flow of downgoing drilling fluid inside the drillstring to turn a solid or hollow drive shaft, which can power or actuate other drilling tools such as turbodrills, electrical generators, hydraulic motors, and a variety of other mechanical, electrical or hydraulic devices. There are many versions of downhole […]

Practicare aims to leverage technology to improve community care outcomes through a holistic lens of worker and organizational excellence. The company plans to directly tackle the #1 problem articulated by both care organizations and the clients that they support: the availability, skill, and turnover of care workers; and the direct impact this has on community […]

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 […]

This project will help Voronoi Health Analytics improve and refine their advanced artificial models used for automating interpreting and analyzing medical images. The intern will help with data collection processes that are required in order to train state of the art AI models for automating medical image analysis, resulting in more efficient and effective health […]

This project involves developing a study to determine the feasibility of operating a greenhouse operation in St. Anthony, NL to address the food insecurity issue.

The process of an oil and gas reservoir being “soured” by hydrogen sulphide is complex due to the many operations (e.g. changing production methods and waterflooding). The phenomena of souring occurs in most reservoirs were secondary or enhanced oil/gas recovery takes place. Hydrogen sulphide casues a number of operational and safety problems such as scaling, […]

Guide to the Good is the social enterprise of thegreenrock. It’s a customized online searchable member-based content hub for locally-owned, locally-operated, locally-headquartered companies and organizations. Guide to the Good uses digital marketing and human relations to promote local, social and green choices toward healthy, flourishing people and sustainable communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. Revenue is […]

The master’s degree thesis will be on developing digital twin remote real-time monitoring systems to improve the predictive maintenance of in-service equipment on marine/offshore vessels. This will result in safer sailing because it will be possible to predict when and where failures occur, so that the appropriate corrective actions are initiated in time.

In this project, we are trying to expose our existing core system functionalities to a public user interface. We will design, implement and test a research prototype user interface that can provide simple and flexible content sharing over a web-based user interface (UI) for organizations such as healthcare or surveillance systems that require a mechanism […]

In this Mitacs project, we turn to agent-based modelling as an approach to model the complex behaviour of an individual’s financial transaction history. Agents are given a set of behaviours, such as habits, relationships, occupation, and daily patterns, and then act in a simulated environment to fulfill those behaviours. Our agent-based modelling will simulate the […]

This proposed study is a part of a comprehensive investigation to evaluate the corrosion performance in SCC concrete structure. The full project is carried out based on the development of new SCC mixtures containing concrete materials available in Newfoundland and an investigation on the cracking behavior of full-scale SCC structure members. The main purpose of […]

The main goal of this project is to target a missing niche for tidal energy distribution. There is a growing interest in utilizing tidal currents for power generation, which has led to extensive research on this source of renewable energy. Among all the different ways to collect kinetic energy from ocean tides, the tidal turbine […]
