In the proposed project, a series of computer-aided simulations will be conducted to determine the thermal behaviour of engine components in the presence of a fire inside the engine. The goal is to predict the heat transfer rate into the components, and the behaviour of the oil found inside those components. Results of this work […]

The global push to decarbonise our energy system and all its related processes has stirred up a great interest amongst researchers and scientists to devise ways and means of improving processes that heavily rely on fossil fuels. The use of renewable sources to make chemicals and materials has received considerable attention as this alternative approach […]

Drilling deep holes into the earth’s crust is required to extract natural resources such as crude oil and has also been utilized in the geothermal energy industry to extract heat. Drilling these wells is carried out using long slender pipes, and due to the destructive nature of the drilling operation, these pipes undergo torsional, lateral, […]

The particularly important goals faced in the world oil and gas sector is the increasing hydrocarbon production and net zero carbon emissions. Achieving climate neutrality means balancing emissions in such a way that the entry of CO2 into the atmosphere is prevented by its absorption, further utilization and storage. The Enhanced HC Recovery methods and […]

Effective monitoring is an important component in safety and security related applications. Equipment failure, trespassing, theft and vandalism are all regular occurrences that the companies must deal with. These kinds of problems emphasize the importance of designing a state-of-the-art system for monitoring. In this project a system will be devised and trained to detect different […]

The master’s degree thesis will be on developing digital twin remote real-time monitoring systems to improve the predictive maintenance of in-service equipment on marine/offshore vessels. This will result in safer sailing because it will be possible to predict when and where failures occur, so that the appropriate corrective actions are initiated in time.

Multiple applications in dual comb spectroscopy are limited by low signal levels with respect to the noise. This limits the quality of the spectroscopic measurements. The goal of this project is to develop a new measurement technique that allows us to increase the signal to noise ratio in dual comb spectroscopy by exceeding the semi-classical […]

We propose to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle structure of the offshore Nova Scotia margin with the aim of producing a comprehensive regional map of the rifting style along the margin to contribute to a better understanding of the margin geology and its significant variations from NE to SW. We will process the already […]

The field of plastic waste management is essential for a sustainable society that utilizes plastic waste for energy production and environmental safety. Plastic waste’s land filing and incineration have large environmental impacts due to greenhouse gas emissions. The mentioned challenges could be eliminated using a more reliable and controllable thermal source such as an inductively […]

This project will focus on developing a system to find the precise location of a landing pad as seen from a drone / helicopter. The proposed system uses radio frequency ranging between the devices onboard and devices deployed at the landing pad. Together with accelerometer and compass data, the system can figure out the position […]

The Spill Management and Response Toolbox (SMART) can provide decision-makers and stakeholders with effective contingency planning by combining their expertise from multiple concerns such as response time, operational cost, or environmental impacts. The SMART system is designed to expedite the preparation phase, initiate response operations as soon as possible, reduce the workload and stress for […]
