The main aim of this research project is to develop and test a sustainable green remediation technology to bring down the contaminant levels in a hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminated site so that it can be used for public use. Anthropogenic industrial activities can lead to accumulation of harmful hydrocarbons and heavy metals in soil […]

Risk analysis has a primary role in safety-critical industries such as oil and gas explorations, marine and pipeline transportations, and downstream operations. This essential task is facing a series of challenges due to the increased complexity and volume of generated data. Due to the recent advancements in cloud computing power provided by the two giants: […]

The main goal of this research project is to reduce the rate of occurrence of these distresses by designing and developing improved asphalt binder and asphalt mixtures appropriate for St. John’s environmental and loading conditions. The project will develop recommendations on specifications for asphalt binders, modifiers and asphalt mixtures to enhance the rutting and moisture […]

Social Enterprise is a catalyst for social and economic empowerment and inclusion, and has been identified as an innovative opportunity to address workforce challenges and economic sustainability in Southwestern Newfoundland. The goal of this project is to facilitate evidence-based research and analysis and to disseminate resources and practical tools which encourages and supports social enterprise […]

This project is the extension project of the previous Tele-rheumatology project. In the previous project, we have designed and developed three components: hardware platform, which is the capturing device for rheumatoid arthritis patience movements by using both 2D and 3D cameras; the capture system, which is used by general practitioners to control the hardware platform; […]

This project aims to build strong collaborations with Indigenous communities across Manitoba to monitor large mammals using camera traps. The goals of this study are to facilitate Indigenous co-management of wildlife with the provincial government in Manitoba and to inform management of declining species, especially moose, with regards to the factors which are driving decreasing […]

Given the harmful nature of Hazardous materials (Hazmats), the corresponding transportation and storage processes are always associated with substantial levels of risks. Targeting the real-world circumstances with disruptions and uncertainties, the proposed research aims to seek alternative and adaptive solutions for proper locations of Hazmat facilities, suitable assignment of customers to active sites, and efficient […]

The Arctic Region is considered an extreme environment for natural resources extraction. One potential threat to an Offshore Pipeline is the constant movement of ice based structures, such as icebergs and ice ridges. The project is focused on developing a numerical methodology to simulate the effects of ice gouging/ ice scouring on buried pipelines. The […]

The current pandemic has highlighted the need for utilizing virtual care in pharmacy practice to ensure accessibility to medication and pharmacist services while maintaining social distancing to limit the potential of contagion. As pharmacist virtual care becomes more prevalent, it is important to explore the various models that currently exist or are being developed. This […]

The focus of this project will be how modern technologies, specifically static and mobile laser scanners, drone photogrammetry, and Virtual Reality (VR) can be applied to solve issues related to renovating and utilizing (repurposing) old buildings. This is a multi-disciplinary approach with college interns from Geomatics Engineering and Architecture Engineering programs.

According to the government, Canadians throw away more than 3 million tons of plastic waste every year, and only 9% of that plastic is recycled. A lot of this plastic litter which has found its way into Canada’s freshwater environments, is comprised of single-use plastics. DYA – a sustainable consumables startup is striving to understand […]

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 […]
