Interferometer Vibration Sensitivity Reduction

General Fusion (GF) is a private company developing a magnetized target fusion scheme to compress a plasma to fusion conditions with a liquid metal liner for the purposes of producing energy. The plasma density is an important parameter that must be measured during a shot to evaluate the performance of the machine. An interferometer is […]

Non-wood fibrillated cellulose composites

The aim of the proposed research is to develop renewable textiles from agricultural residues. The project will use an alternative process, proposed by Earth Protex, for converting primarily wheat straw into a wood pulp like material while minimizing the losses during the process. The pulp will undergo further chemical treatment under mild conditions before being […]

Comparative Analysis of the Electrified Haber Bosch and the Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis Approaches for Green Ammonia Production

Currently, green ammonia is produced using a process that combines green hydrogen and nitrogen. There’s a newer method called Direct Ammonia Synthesis (DAS) that can be better because it can produce green ammonia directly, without going through the extra steps of producing green hydrogen and then combining it with nitrogen. This could save a lot […]

Understanding Drone Pilot Needs to Develop a VR Training System

Using drones to inspect power lines, which can involve travelling in isolated areas, makes this process faster and more secure. Yet, training drone pilots for this task is time-consuming and expensive. In this project, we propose to partner with Connect Atlantic Utility Services Corporation to develop a Virtual Reality training system for drone pilots. This […]

AI Improved Markerless Motion Capture For Dance

Motion capture is a technology to track human motion in 3D for replication with digital tools, such as mixed and virtual reality, video games, or movies. However, full 3D tracking requires the complex and finicky setup of multiple cameras that are prohibitively expensive to individuals or small studios. This is especially difficult with complex human […]
