Cette recherche a pour objectif d’élaborer un modèle conceptuel de gestion de l’innovation pour une PME œuvrant dans le secteur de l’environnement afin de permettre d’innover rapidement dans le contexte de la monétisation des crédits de gaz à effet de serre (GES) au Canada et à l’international. En plus des caractéristiques inhérentes à la mesure […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a dramatic increase in mental health issues, overdose, suicide, and violence in Indigenous communities. Numerous studies and reports call for community-driven approaches to wellness that support Indigenous communities in culturally relevant ways. Yet, many communities do not have the resources to support such approaches. In response to the literature and […]

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) Calls to Action stipulates a call for all levels of government to increase the number and retention of Indigenous people working in health care (TRC, 2015). Many organizations grapple with the retention of and encounter challenges with the retention of Indigenous staff. Indigenous staff face high rates […]

The intention of this study is to construct linguistic teaching tools in the community through community engaged research. The objective will be to work with the Sipekne’katik community health centre parental programs and community partnerships to foster conversations around community-based healing and well-being practices. The audience will be with parents, guardians, and families with infants, […]

Restoration practitioners and Indigenous communities have a vested interest in understanding how to promote healthy resilience ecosystems following anthropogenic disturbance. Working together our goal is to develop effective eco-restoration practices on Indigenous territories through a co-production process. Reconciliation requires new ways of conducting natural science and the rigorous application of both Indigenous knowledge and Western […]

Dr. Potter has recently begun exploring the impact that probiotics (beneficial bacteria found in some food sources such as probiotic yogurt and kefir) have on anxiety and depression. Other researchers have shown that probiotic bacteria exert a significant effect on anxiety and depression-like behaviours in animals. A few studies have extended these findings to humans. […]

The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is currently experiencing a financial crisis. Along with other initiatives to help grow and strengthen the economy, the province has three business incubators to help young companies grow and be successful. However, the incubators are not specifically focused on business co-operatives. Globally, co-operatives have been very powerful economic drivers […]

Le programme de recherche vise à développer des méthodes de transfert d’apprentissage (“transfer learning”) d’un espace spatio-temporel à un autre avec pour finalité la conception d’une nouvelle génération de modèles de machine learning capables de prédire des phénomènes de pollution hyper locale même en l’absence de données d’entrainement à forte granularité.

This project aims to design a keyword spotting system (KWS) using microphone arrays installed on an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The project consists in 1) installing microphone arrays on the partner’s UGV, recording the ego-noise generated by the wheels and engine, and measuring the acoustic transfer function for each possible direction of arrival; 2) creating […]

Canada’s unconventional gas resources are an emerging low-cost, clean burning energy source, the export of which presents both a major economic opportunity for Canada. To unlock this gas from the low permeability rocks it is found in, hydraulic fracturing is used. This process involves pumping fluids under high pressure into the reservoir rock to generate […]

How do warming temperatures affect local ski resorts and what can be expected for the future of alpine skiing in British Columbia? This study aims to determine how important natural snow and weather conditions are for customers at ski resorts in British Columbia and what this means under future snow conditions. By analyzing natural conditions, […]

The goal of this project is to develop enhanced knowledge and gain applied experience through technical research, development and knowledge mobilization activities. The research topic is focused on adaptive architectures with a focus on computational design of environmentally responsive, intelligent, interactive, and reconfigurable structures. Working with Philip Beesley as academic chair of ACADIA 2013 and […]
