With an ever-expanding list of critical materials and minerals, it is crucial to find sustainable material solutions to well-established industrial requirements. High-entropy materials, i.e. materials that mix 5 or more constituents in near equi-atomic proportions, could mitigate these issues by offering highly resistant and stable materials. As a result, addressing the issues of critical materials […]

Herein, we propose the lead optimization of novel antitubercular quinolone compounds targeting the DprE1 enzyme; an important enzyme in Mtb cell wall biosynthesis. The previously synthesised compounds exhibited sub-micromolar activity against the wild type (H37Rv) Mycobacterium (Mtb) strain. The lead compound in the series further exhibited activity against resistant fluoroquinolone Mtb strains and it binding […]

I will be studying chromosomal inversions in cod. A chromosomal inversion is a segment of the genome that is flipped. A key feature of inversions is that they rarely undergo recombination which causes them to evolve separately. Recombination is the point in cell division when genetic material mixes between two chromosomes to create new combinations […]

Problem Statement: The healthcare sector faces a significant challenge with high rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, largely attributed to patient handling (PH) tasks. Existing studies have highlighted this issue, underscoring the need for technological interventions to effectively reduce injuries associated with patient handling. Objectives and Activities: This proposal focuses on investigating the Vendlet technology, designed […]

Multisource Multi Modal RAG framework: The project will focus on developing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that can effectively combine and synthesize information from multiple sources within M-Files, utilizing multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) for enhanced accuracy and context. The research will address challenges related to integrating and harmonizing disparate document formats, sources of information […]

This research internship will investigate how a self-powered sensor can be built that continuously measures the temperature, humidity and acceleration (i.e. shocks or bumps) that a musical instrument case is subjected to. The case sensor will be able to automatically connect wirelessly to smart phones (using a custom designed smart phone application) to provide a […]

The University of New Brunswick (UNB – Canada) welcomes a student intern from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT – Thailand) to investigate chemical technologies for recycling waste plastics. The recycling of post-consumer non-compostable materials (e.g., polyester) have been identified as the next frontier to decrease solid waste. Around the world, societies struggle with […]

This project will help us address the challenges directly by allowing our intern to take full control over a brand-new program, and they will also be tasked with brainstorming some of the major challenges in our sector and different ways that our organization can tackle these challenges through our programming. These problems require someone who […]

The Port is looking to do a full review of applications to ensure the strategy use of current applications to maximize business value and strategic use of resources for the high quality of data possible. Once the review is complete, a plan will be developed for the applications. This project will include various tasks including: […]

Forest fire hazard mitigation is crucial for Canada due to its vast and diverse forests, which are highly prone to wildfires. These fires threaten human lives, property, and wildlife, and can cause serious economic and environmental damage. Effective strategies can reduce the frequency, intensity, and spread of wildfires, protecting communities, preserving valuable timber, and maintaining […]

Net Zero Atlantic (NZA) is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. To do so, NZA leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic Canada’s transition to net zero […]

Our technology utilizes synthetic DNA designed to exclusively bind and sense specific target biomolecules. Our multiplex platform, a unique feature, consists of eight biosensors specifically targeting one breast cancer marker type. These markers, which are stage-dependent, along with diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers, represent a significant advancement in breast cancer diagnostics and subsequent care for […]
