Production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) contributes to 8% global CO2 emission. There is now increased effort to find alternative materials that are sustainable, readily available, and cheap. Several supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) from natural resources and waste product have been used to partially replace OPC and have shown beneficial effect. New efforts by Carbon […]

The requested Mitacs-Accelerate Internship application will support Dr. Yishan Liu (as an intern) and Dr. Yonghao Ni (as supervisor) of the University of New Brunswick and Neucel Specialty Cellulose. The overall objectives of the project are: 1) to improve the quality of dissolving pulps; 2) to decrease the manufacturing costs by using low-cost wood material. […]

For a hundred years, fetal bovine serum (FBS) is used for cell culture. Cell culture is a critical tool for understanding life, through research, as well as manufacturing biologics, such as vaccine and lab grown meat. It is also used to reproduce tissue which can be used in human graft. FBS is the fertilizer for […]

The dye and pigment industry continues to be identified as one of the biggest pollutive and toxic industries. Textile dying is the second largest water polluter and produces 20% of the world’s wastewater using almost a million tons of synthetic dyes annually. Because many of the dyes and chemicals used in this industry can cause […]

In recent years, reinforcement learning has shown great promise in solving sophisticated decision-making problems and has also demonstrated impressive results in robotic settings since it provides robots with novel skills without tedious modeling from human engineers. The objective of this research project is to develop a pipeline that autonomously generates a control policy for a […]

Ice hockey goaltending is a highly unique position that requires equipment that can provide adequate protection while maximizing performance. CCM hockey has two different ice hockey goaltender leg pad models: a stiff leg pad, and a flexible leg pad. Common feedback for the stiff leg pad model is that it feels bulky and is thought […]

In order to make the drilling tools more efficient and easier to control, some methodologies inspired by former researches are used in designation of the control system for electrical submersible pumps working underground. This system will be consuming less energy than former ones since the thermal loss is reduced, which would be realized via a […]

It is important that heart failure patients monitor their condition at home. We are exploring devices that can improve the self-monitoring required of patients and send this information back to their doctors. A technology that we are testing is ballistocardiography (BCG). BCG is a mechanical vibration generated by your heart and is recorded using a […]
