This project aims to apply machine learning in the context of potato farming. By analyzing many previous spectrometer scans of potato plant leaves, models will be developed that can estimate the amount of nutrients in a potato plant based on a single scan. The models produced by this project will help offer a more scalable […]

Mactaquac Generating Station, the largest hydroelectric power plant in the Maritime provinces, is located near the capital city of Fredericton, on the Saint John River. In the mid-1970s, concrete structures at Mactaquac began to show signs of distress due to Alkali-silica reaction (ASR), resulting in cracks and leakage. The goal of this research project is […]

Honeybees are considered the world’s most devoted pollinators as they provide an essential ecosystem service that is vital to the maintenance of both wild plant communities and agricultural productivity. In Canada alone, the honeybee industry is worth over 4 billion dollars annually. Over the last years, beekeepers have been faced with major colony loss due […]

Ksalsuti Wellness Resources is seeking to create a mobile application to showcase the stories from the Turtle Island Series. The stories aim to improve to social and mental wellness of children by providing culturally relevant programming and materials from an Indigenous lens. These stories will have lessons embedded that focus on building positive self esteem, […]

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different parts […]

Charitable Gaming Platform Innovation and Enhancements The Lotto Factory was established in 2018 and has developed, tested, and deployed an online gaming platform for the charitable and not-for-profit sectors. This initial version of the platform has been adopted by more than 150 charitable and not-for-profit organizations allowing them to raise much-needed unrestricted funds online. Our […]

Four cycles of observations with the space telescope TESS have provided high-quality photometric data and have led to discovery of a group of delta Scuti stars that show pulsations at high frequencies (nu> 40 c/d) which are similar to the pulsations of roAp stars. Recent discovery of magnetic field in delta Scuti star HD41641 suggests […]

The goal for this project is to obtain partial funding for our intern student who we will have until the end of December 2022. Their duties will consist mainly of process improvement, as well as marketing, advertising and business acquisition. This approach will be to not only increase our current market of cliental, but also […]

In the last few decades, molecular dynamics computer simulations have become increasingly important to unravel and understand the mechanisms of (bio)molecular processes, significant for a myriad of pharmaceutical and/or industrial applications. Although these molecular systems should be considered on the microscopic quantum mechanical level, they are typically approximated by the macroscopic Newtonian laws because of […]

La biodiversité apporte à l’humanité une grande quantité de services écosystémiques essentiels à la vie sur terre qu’il convient de protéger. Pour le stage proposé à Léonie Kilani Joli, nous nous intéresserons à l’étude de l’avifaune à partir d’une plateforme multimodale de caméras et de microphones connectés pour détecter la présence d’oiseaux, classifier les espèces […]

CubeSat NB is a first?of?its?kind partnership among the New Brunswick Community College (NBCC), the Université de Moncton (UdeM), and the University of New Brunswick (UNB) as we jointly develop New Brunswick’s first satellite, named VIOLET after our provincial flower. An undergraduate computer science intern will work to improve software development for our ground station operation […]

The components to be embedded within a precaset concrete panel must be inspected prior to concete placement. To the untrained eye, this inspection appears to be the process of comparing an actual 3D tangle of mesh, rebar, and other metal components with neat 2D design drawings on paper. Even for highly trained and experienced inspectors, […]
