Canoe Kayak Sprint is a highly technical sport, where small changes in athlete stroke technique and/or boat movement can have large implications on race performance. Due to the complexity of these movements it has been difficult in the past to obtain equipment that is precise enough to measure kayak sprint technique accurately. With continual advancements […]

Headworn display (HWD) augmented reality devices, such as the Magic Leap and HoloLens provide new opportunities to enhance interactive data visualizations. While immersive HWDs provide a straightforward way to render 3D and immersive visualizations, there are opportunities to improve 2D visualizations as well. This research program considers how 3D spatial metaphors enabled by AR can […]

This is a program of research activities through which we will create and compile materials about L’nu and broader Indigenous histories and experiences related to military history. Our materials are to guide the Atlantic Memorial Park Society in its development of Indigenous content at their new heritage site in North Sydney. Songs, Stories and Sacred […]

In Green Sulphur Bacteria, the chlorosome is the organelle responsible for the harvesting of solar energy, and for the transportation of this energy to the rest of the photosynthetic system. This is attained through the use of many pigment molecules, on the order of thousands, that are present within the chlorosome. These pigments absorb the […]

The research project entails finding a method to detect corroded steel wires used in the manufacturing of tires at Michelin in Bridgewater. This would be achieved using methods that are proven safe for humans and the environment. Also, the detection equipment will be integrated in the existing Michelin facilities in Bridgwater, NS, Canada.

This project aims at investigating the effect of communication constraints on cooperative manipulators. Afterward, the communication constraints will be detailed modeled, based on that the control strategy specifically for the multi-robot system will be developed. The stability of the system under the designed control strategy should be guaranteed, and the performance regarding the execution of […]

The central role of the Internet in modern society creates challenges of efficiency, flexibility, and security, especially as usage intensifies due to proliferation of mobile devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). Wireless network-based technologies such as Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), introduce new challenges. In particular, shifting locations and hardware […]

Sustainable investment is an expending sector of the mainstream financial market, yet there are few studies evaluating the trends, opportunities, impacts and knowledge gaps as they relate to Canadian investors. Understanding the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues related to business operations and investment are critical to understanding trends that are driving this shift towards […]

The Canadian economy is built on decades-worth of industrial activity and its links to the natural endowment of the country. For an extended period of time, Canadians have looked to our natural resources for wealth creation, value-added processing, and international market opportunities. On the other end, recent studies and experts have demonstrated concern and warnings […]

This research will provide a prediction of sea conditions at a given location based on measurements from meteorlogic and oceanographic ‘smart’ buoys in the general area. The motivation is to provide redundancy in the measurement of sea conditions for safe navigation within the Halifax Harbour when the main smart buoy in Halifax Harbour fails or […]

BlueNode is a SaaS company focused on the sanitation and analysis of marine shipping data. The research project is focused on increasing the precision and accuracy of shipped goods processed through Canadian ports. Should the research prove the be successful, the technical methods used with be directly incorporated into the BlueNode system.

Developing technology capable of onsite medical diagnostics is crucial for health-care delivery in clinical and emergency settings. To perform on-site diagnostics, health-care practitioners need compact, inexpensive, and user-friendly equipment. Alentic Microscience has developed a system that uses small volumes of blood for cell counting and serum tests, occurring at the site of blood extraction. This […]
