The proposed research project will develop an innovative method to design healthcare processes and apply the method to the care of stroke patients in Newfoundland and Labrador. The design method is grounded in engineering techniques, starting with establishing the design requirements of the system that is to be designed. The project will support underlying ongoing […]

The goal of the project is to design, built, test, and document test results of a prototype of a Battery Management System (BMS) used in a Wireless Power Transfer System to charge a battery.

The green transition requires the sourcing of critical metals like copper, zinc, cobalt, and nickel for use in climate change mitigating technology. This internship will train one Masters-level student to study the geological setting and localization of these metals associated with ancient submarine volcanic rocks in the Tilt Cove and Betts Cove regions of the […]

SARs (Suspicious Activities Reports) are the forms that financial institutions use to report any suspected activity. Literature shows that the user interface will affect the data provided by users, because of many psychological reasons like different biases and cognitive shortcuts. Data collected is typically analyzed with machine learning algorithms. Different user interfaces provide different levels […]

The Quidi Vidi / Rennie’s River Development Foundation (QVRRDF) is developing a Power Tower initiative to promote the use of renewable energy and conservation practices in Newfoundland and Labrador. The proposed project will provide the knowledge, understanding, and confidence needed to incorporate advanced wind turbine technology into the QVRRDF’s Power Tower. Installation of a small […]

This project will examine the role of community-led social enterprise to support social and economic innovation in rural Newfoundland. Our case study is the creation of a new daycare within a social enterprise in Norris Point, NL, and the potential for this case study to provide a model for how we can support job creation, […]

This research project is focused on building an understanding and also supporting the relationship between the philanthropic sector and the research sector in supporting impactful solutions to complex problems faced by communities in Atlantic Canada. The partner organizations, the Lawson Foundation and Metcalf Foundation are invested in developing solutions that enhance community sustainability and health. […]

Suncor Energy Inc. and Memorial University will collaborate on a research program for three Master’s student interns to study the crustal structure and geological history of the petroleum-bearing Flemish Pass Basin and adjoining Central Ridge, offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. The goal of the research is to understand the large and small-scale tectonic processes that formed […]

The challenges and problems concerning the energy crisis, environmental protection and also global warming force human societies to use alternative green and renewable energy resources instead of conventional resources. In this regard, hydrogen gas as an important energy carrier has been noticed seriously. This project aims to concentrate on the CFD simulation of a solar […]

As the main product of many renewable power plants, hydrogen plays a substantial role in the transition from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy resources. Hydrogen can be liquefied, enhancing its desirability as an energy carrier. An innovative integrated structure for hydrogen and CO2 liquefaction from biomass and wind energy is proposed. It […]

One of the major problems listed by many energy companies is flow assurance which involves significant efforts and costs to prevent hydrate blockages in the oil and gas facilities. Gas hydrate forms so rapidly and without warning in the offshore pipelines relative to waxes, scales, or asphaltenes. Although the hydrate plug formation rate is fast, […]
