Approximately 40% of COVID-19 survivors experience the Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (LONG-COVID-19) or Long COVID. It is currently not possible to predict who will become long-haulers and continue to experience symptoms that last for weeks or even months. The goal of this project is to better understand the molecular underpinnings of diverse patient outcomes in […]

This project will apply causal discovery methods to two model-generated datasets. One is a dataset describing the transport of emerging contaminant metformin in the groundwater; the other is a card fraud transaction dataset. The method will examine the dataset’s underlying structure (data skeleton). Multiple new methods will be evaluated and tested on the datasets. The […]

AIMH (AI for Mental Health) is a start-up that uses AI methods to support mental health. We have developed the prototype of a platform that can be used as a decision support tool, in clinical practice of childhood psychiatric disorders. Our initial focus is ADHD (Attention-deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder). Core of this technology is the combination […]

In this project, we are going to design blockchain networks and design an interaction between IoT devices. In this way, we can update the location of tokenized asset which is our food product in this project. Blockchain network can provide traceability and transparency, so we decided to use blockchain because of these features. The partner […]

In modern automotive engineering, vehicles are primarily designed in the virtual space to enable a rapid vehicle design process. However, this process is heavily constrained by the time and computational requirements necessary to generate the vast number of simulations needed for vehicle design. Fortunately, modern machine learning (ML) techniques may be used to dramatically accelerate […]

Atlantic Canada’s fishery industries have been identified as key sectors where market demand is expected to increase. PEI mussel and shellfish production employ over a thousand employees, and contributes in excess of CAD$60 million to PEI’s coastal and rural communities. Production of Atlantic Canadian shellfish has tripled since 1995 and is expected to continue growing […]

Un certain nombre d’applications comme l’électronique portative ou la traçabilité de produits bénéficieront considérablement du développement de l’électronique imprimée grâce entre autre à la flexibilité et à la légèreté des dispositifs obtenus, couplés à des coûts modérés par l’utilisation de machinerie pouvant les produire rapidement à grande échelle. De plus, la possibilité de créer des […]

The proposed research project involves a partnership between the City, Grenfell Campus (Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador) and the Atlantic Forest Center (Natural Resource Canada, Corner Brook office) to generate capacity to collect, summarize, and analyze current tree distribution in the City (and boundary areas) using a combination of remote sensing platforms.

Global warming is a very concerning mater, which needs serious attention and the development of the technologies to decrease the rate of CO2 concentration increase. In this project, a solvent-based post-combustion CO2 capture process is evaluated through the development of smart models (e.g., ML) and optimization techniques (e.g., PSO). The data for the smart model […]

Salt marshes are important coastal ecosystems that provide many services. Due to their high soil fertility, they have a long history of being converted to farmland. There is now growing interest in restoring salt marshes to protect against coastal erosion, mitigate sea level rise, and provide increased habitat for fish, birds, etc. Ducks Unlimited Canada […]

Biomass residues from forestry operations (sawdust, bark, pulp and paper sludge etc.) have a myriad of potential applications if repurposed, however are often simply disposed of in landfills or stockpiled at sawmills. In this work we will investigate hydrothermal processing of two of the highest volume of residues produced; sludge from pulp and paper processing […]

Due to the growing number of scrap tires, its related environmental impact of improper scrap tires’ management, and the circular economy concept, devulcanization plants are growing all over the world to reproduce high-quality rubber that can be reused in high-quality tire manufacturing. Therefore, growing concerns are the effective & efficient facility layout, environmental policy for […]
