The goal of the proposed research project is to improve the work productivity for the partner company (Ocean Steel) by identifying bottlenecks accurately in the steel fabrication workstations. This work included evaluating the current applied solutions in order to resolve the same problems encountered with Ocean Steel, which was done by conducting a literature review. […]

The interns will support the development and testing of an archaeological field notes tool called STRATUM. This tool will allow all notes and documentation, usually collected in note books or various handheld devices, to be collected on one digital device like a tablet or phone. The tool development will be guided by the results of […]

The popularity of autonomous survey vessels (ASVs) are rapidly increasing due to their low-cost, efficiency, ease of operations, and safety benefits. These systems are applied to ocean mapping survey operations that would have traditionally been completed by small, crewed vessels using either single beam or multibeam echosounder systems. To maintain the simplicity of the ASV, […]

AV Nackawic is part of a new and innovative group of companies (AV Group), which are focused on producing specialty pulp products to service the textile and paper industry. The pulp produced is the raw material for the rayon production process, where reactivity of pulp is an important parameter determining the quality of the product. […]

Understanding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadians’ mental health is crucial to inform government planning for the delivery of services and support during and after the pandemic. This research project will assess the mental health impacts of COVID-19 in New Brunswick by analyzing self-reported data from Statistics Canada’s Survey on COVID-19 and Mental […]

Ambrosia beetles are an excellent example for invasive species that show unusual success in establishing in new regions outside their native range. They pose threat to forest ecosystems and plant nurseries in many continental regions, where they were introduced. They have a mutualistic relationship with a group of fungi called ‘ambrosia’ which they carry with […]

The project will consist on visiting the Gravitation and Cosmology research group of the university of Sheffield in order to start a collaboration in a specific area of mathematical aspects of gravitation. The research in this area will: provide insights on quantum theories of gravity, in particular Group Field Theory; help to develop general mathematical […]

Shannex is presently piloting a geo-navigation system in some of its enhanced care homes. It is anticipated this data, once brought in-house, will have data mining capabilities to impose prevention/mitigation tactics on adverse health outcomes and ultimately improve the quality of life of residents. Our present challenge is the existing reporting system is not robust […]

MISSING!! The objective of the research to be conducted under the present research grant is the development of a CFD based model of a helicopter wake for the purpose of tracking pesticide droplet transport. The fluid velocity field, once obtained, can be used for tracking spray releases for an unlimited number of combinations of droplet […]

The key objective of this project is to support Planet Hatch, the only Startup Visa incubator in New Brunswick, with process innovation and reduced timelines in serving its clients. In doing so, the interns will be brought on board to study the current process flow and recommend process improvement as well as develop a promotional […]

This project will help 3D Planeta train interns to help towards novel product development. Through this project, all the interns will be engaged to take on specific tasks that will help build on the work 3D Planeta’s team has been developing. This work will help 3D Planeta to advance it’s 3D offerings from the advanced […]
