As a result of project called “Her Own Boss” community-based project done by the Women’s Economic Council, aimed at exploring the challenges in self-employment for visible minority immigrant women in British Columbia, Ontario, and Eastern Newfoundland in 2019-2021, one hundred twenty women were interviewed. At the same time, weekly training sessions were held in the […]

This project aims to build a tool that will help the company automatically gather and analyze data from multiple platforms, such as Google Analytics, Linkedin and Hotjar. This tool will save the company time by removing the need to manually gather and analyze data and will also help the marketing team finding the best strategy […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) This project aims to increase image datasets by not doing experiments or collecting physical checks. Instead, the image […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) 7 Fathoms Seaweed Skincare (7FSS) is a small business that has developed products which incorporate an extract of […]

Narrow-vein steeply dipping deposits are challenging to mine economically because they are poorly oriented for surface mining, and underground mining normally requires development of extensive underground infrastructure before mining the vein. Memorial University is collaborating with Novamera for the development of innovative narrow-vein mining technology called Sustainable Mining by Drilling (SMD). The SMD technology is […]

The current project aims to design and optimize the cryogenic CO2 capture process in terms of CO2 removal efficiency and energy requirement. The serious concern of global warming due to increasing CO2 emission has urged policymakers to employ various CO2 capture methods. Note that among different CO2 capture methods, the cryogenic capture is a favorable […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) A series of laboratory tests and field trials will be carried out to validate the capability and performance […]

Slips, trips, and falls (STFs) are a major concern in occupational environments, accounting for a significant portion of all reported work-related injuries. These concerns are even greater in moving environments, like those of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore petroleum industry. This proposed research aims to address the industry’s STF concerns through analysis of worker’s postural responses […]

At a high level, the goal of this project is to create a system for producing synthetic datasets based on real data. As a large financial crime detection firm, Verafin deals with large volumes of sensitive data which must be kept private, however they are also interested in collaborating with academics to gain new insights […]

Data is rapidly growing in most of the applications and fields. Thus, data is becoming big data as it meets the 5V model of big data: volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value. As a result, dimensionality reduction and feature selection become mandatory to overcome ML models’ performance and explainability issues. This project looks at feature […]

Low predictive accuracy of energy output is one of the weakest points in wind power generation. Power curve of a wind turbine provides assistance in energy assessment, warranty formulations, and performance monitoring of the wind turbines. Wind turbines are being installed in offshore diverse climatic conditions causing substantial departure of these power curves from the […]

This project will develop a robust software package that can be embedded with a camera system to provide an onboard sea-ice monitoring system. The software package consists of two main components: (1) Deep learning classification model, which involves a deep learning network trained to identify and classify sea-ice; (2) Lens artifact removal method, which is […]
