For manual wheelchair users, mobility means pushing thousands of times each day, often leading to pain, fatigue, and upper-limb injuries. SensRIM is an innovative, sensor-integrated ergonomic pushrim designed to transform this daily effort into data-driven mobility, enhancing independence, comfort, and health outcomes. By embedding soft tactile sensors that directly measure propulsion forces and detect user […]

Intern(s) will help Thermweave develop washable fabrics that move heat away from the body with enhanced thermal conductivity. They’ll develop dip-coating recipes that use tiny carbon-based particles, dip common fabrics (cotton, polyester) in them, and fine-tune steps like time, temperature, and drying. The interns will test how well the fabric moves heat, and how it […]

This project will support the final implementation phase of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system at Mekapisk EnviroBlu Inc, a growing Indigenous-owned company based in Newfoundland and Labrador. Building on earlier research and development efforts, this phase will focus on optimizing system workflows and enabling future integrations such as EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), which will […]

Ce projet de recherche a pour objectif d’explorer si la technologie d’impression 3D est acceptable en clinique pour fabriquer des orthèses de qualité. Elles sont destinées aux personnes atteintes du syndrome du tunnel carpien. C’est une condition qui peut causer des engourdissements, des picotements et de la douleur dans la main et les doigts, ce […]

Polyurethane is a flammable polymer that can release toxic gases when exposed to fire, restricting their application in areas such as pipe liners. This project aims to develop fire-proof polyurethane composites pipe liners with a long cycle time and good stability in harsh environments. Given the increasing demand for advanced materials in industry, we will […]

The realism and interactivity of large water bodies—such as oceans and rivers—are essential for creating immersive and dynamic open-world environments. With the rapid advancement in GPU computing power, physical simulation techniques are now a feasible solution for significantly enhancing the realism of water systems in real-time applications. Shallow water simulations, for example, provide efficient 2.5D […]

While Santevia has built a strong reputation in the health and wellness space, its brand identity and visual communications require innovation to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The challenge […]

The timber-harvesting and processing industries anticipate that the use of robotics and AI technologies will increase productivity, safety and job satisfaction of machine operators to help address the shrinking labor force. We have engaged with our partner, FPInnovations, on research to increase the autonomy of log-loading machines with the goal to demonstrate the technology on […]

This research project aims to develop a comprehensive predictive framework for heat treatment furnaces to enhance operational efficiency, product quality, and environmental sustainability. The project focuses on creating a data preprocessing pipeline tailored for big machinery sensor data, innovative AI-enabled anomaly detection models, real-time furnace operation analysis, and quality prediction models. Key objectives include obtaining […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

Cannabigerol (CBG) and Cannabichromene (CBC), like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), are chemical compounds called cannabinoids that are traditionally found in cannabis plants. Prior research has shown that these compounds display pain-relieving and anti-anxiety properties. However, the mechanisms of how these effects happen are unknown. This project, in collaboration with Westleaf Labs LP, will examine […]
