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 […]

Organic food waste is a significant stream of municipal solid waste generated in the Industrial-Commercial-Institutional (ICI) sectors in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). Composting has been regarded as an effective way of handling this waste stream. This project will develop a comprehensive composting-based management system. to optimize the organic food waste collection and composting locations.

This project aims to design sustainable new microsystems to power data monitoring buoys that can provide a sustainable power source using the ocean waves dynamics. The proposed project will result in significant advances in three long-standing challenges in energy harvesters-based micro devices powering the data monitoring buoys using the ocean waves. These include low frequencies […]

The special characteristics of plastics have led to them taking an essential role in society. Unfortunately, plastic consumption, production and disposal significantly impact the community. The failure of research labs to better understand the actual costs of lab plastic wastes has led to poor management of plastic materials and growing social, ecological and economic costs […]

This project will help the drilling industry accept new technologies. This work will focus on create and testing more robust controllers for choke control, applying advanced controller techniques and designing these controllers to accommodate diverse operating conditions in different rigs.
