La Fibrose Kystique (FK) est une maladie génétique mortelle qui touche environ 1 canadien sur 3600. L’accumulation constante de mucus dans leurs poumons bloque les voies respiratoires et doit être expulsé de façon quotidienne, lors d’une série d’exercices thérapeutiques, afin de prévenir les infections pulmonaires. Cependant, la coopération demandée aux enfants peut mener à des […]

The main aim of this project is to utilize chitin and its derivatives to fabricate super-macroporous bioinks using our mist-based printhead technology. The proposed project fosters a circular economy by expanding the bioink and bioprinting market and contributing to sustainable economic growth, while simultaneously addressing environmental challenges associated with crustacean shell waste. Additionally, it opens […]

Canada’s international marine trade, accounting for 80% of its commerce with countries beyond North America, surged to an impressive $205 billion in 2015. In this dynamic industry, the maintenance and repair sector assume a pivotal role in managing the life cycle costs of marine vessels, with approximately 72% of the budget allocated to its operation. […]

Our solution provides modular floating solar array units that aggregate into a scalable platform with energy generation capacities between 50kWh/day (0.35MWh/week) and 0.5MWh/day(3.5MWh/week), similar and compatible with the current energy needs of small and medium-size indigenous coastal communities.

This project aims to provide much needed evidence to community organizations who want to use evaluation findings to better understand how to support vulnerable children and their families in schools. The All in for Youth initiative and its collaborative partners offer integrated, wraparound supports to improve academic outcomes and resiliency of vulnerable children, support family […]

Future ships will be greener and safer, because they will be self-driving. But testing self-driving ships in the ocean is complicated and dangerous. For that reason, we invented a new way of building smaller models of ships, to safely tests these new technologies. Building ships our way is cheaper and easier than older methods and […]

Les sources et niveaux de bruits sous-marins d’origine humaine, le bruit anthropique, n’ont cessé de croitre depuis les cinquante dernières années. Parmi les activités humaines générant ce bruit, la navigation commerciale figure parmi les principales contributrices et le bruit qu’elle émet est principalement généré par l’hélice et la machinerie des navires. Il existe des technologies […]

In this research endeavor, our goal is to develop user-friendly software tailored for scientists and engineers specializing in the study of fluid dynamics, particularly within oceanic contexts. Imagine it as an adaptable and comprehensive toolkit designed to simplify their intricate experimental tasks. Initially, we will meticulously craft the software, prioritizing ease of use and efficiency. […]

We are hoping to explore the market potential and customer base for the Antifouling and Anti-corrosive Marine Coating. There is a need for durable antifouling and anti-corrosive coating for marine applications which are made within Canada (doesn’t have supply chain issue), could be easily scale-up in production and industrial application, are economically viable, confirms to […]

Marine data is vital for protecting fisheries, understanding climate change’s impact, and supporting ocean industry. However, collecting data is costly, challenging, and time-consuming. Renewable energy powered unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a promising solution for marine data collection due to their maneuverability, sensor payload, and ease of use. Yet, uncertain environmental factors lead to intermittent […]

Agricultural use of municipal biosolids has many possible benefits for producers, including improved soil physical properties and fertility supplements for crop production. However, recent concerns with pharmaceutical ingredients, consumer product ingredients, and hormones entering into sensitive ecological environments such as surface or ground water has brought into question the continued use of biosolids in agriculture. […]

The main topic of this project is to detect the presence and direction of cross-sea waves on the sea surface using X-band radar images. The cross-sea wave pattern may have significant energy and instantaneous irregularity, making it potentially dangerous. The target customer groups of this project include the shipping companies and shipowners, fishing industry, and […]
