The research project proposed will be used to improve the financial feasibility of an urban agricultural greenhouse. The first objective of this project is to create a business model that will supplement revenue to a greenhouse by offering mental health services. The second objective of this project is to test and assess the performance of […]

This research attempts to find the best 3D printing technology and 3D printing material (filament) that matches with a local urban community’s demand for customized interior design solutions, including furniture, tailored walls, personalized partitions, lamps and decorative elements. By investigating proper hardware and technology for public use, this research will foster the culture of creativity […]

Tooth wear is an irreversible loss of the enamel, which over time, leads to the exposure of the dentine and this makes the tooth very sensitive to hot or cold foods. The choice of food of the person suffering from severe tooth becomes very limited and this sometimes threatens the survival of the individual. Our […]

Bearings are typically located in the heart of all rotating applications, with rotational speeds, forces, and vibrations impacting them somehow. Due to various reasons, such as fatigue, bearings encounter abrupt operation failure that damages surrounding components. In some applications, such as wind turbines and high-speed trains, it is expensive to replace the bearing and other […]

COVID-19 and Influenza virus disease (the flu) are both deadly respiratory diseases. Despite the availability of flu and COVID-19 vaccines, these diseases still pose a serious threat to human health, because different types of their strains are in circulation. In addition to the need of urgent production of both COVID-19 and influenza universal vaccine, development […]

One of the goals of environmental management and sustainable development is to secure adequate water quality in rivers and lakes. Many researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders have been trying to contribute to this goal effectively. Gathering water quality data is vital to understand changes in rivers and lakes better. Two major approaches for water quality monitoring […]

Currently, drug delivery systems used in clinical applications are limited to liposome and polymer-based systems. Although these methods have been shown to be sufficient for most applications, they have limited targeting of specific areas in the body and have a low effectiveness for efficient drug administration. To compensate, higher and multiple dosages are required, drastically […]

Composite structures are very popular in industries due to their lightweight and high strength. They degrade and cause huge economic losses or even serious disasters. Structure health monitoring has a great significance in the operation and maintenance of industrial assets. Current commercial software for structural health monitoring uses traditional and common methods which are only […]

Canada’s $9.6B pulp industry produces an ample supply of unusable organic pulp mill residues, yet there has been relatively limited utilization of this feedstock for the production of bio-crude through hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) – a low-temperature, high-pressure thermolytic conversion process. The proposed research project will investigate HTL catalysts that produce abundant, high-quality, and low-cost bio-crude […]

Black Business Ventures Association (BBVA) is a non-profit technology accelerator with a mandate to increase the participation of Black-led technology startups in Canada. In November 2021, BBVA launched the first Black-focused accelerator program in Western Canada. In order to implement its programs and connect with Black communities across the Prairies Region, BBVA plans to establish […]

Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong disease that affects the nerves of the body and causes lifelong disabilities including walking disabilities. This project aims to use smart insoles to provide clinicians with information about how patients impacted by multiple sclerosis walk. To do so, we will develop and test algorithms that use walking data from the […]

The key objective of this project is to support Planet Hatch, the only Startup Visa incubator in New Brunswick, with process innovation and reduced timelines in serving its clients. In doing so, the interns will be brought on board to study the current process flow and recommend process improvement as well as develop a promotional […]
