The overall purpose of this research is to explore the ways diagnostic assessments enable or disable growth in mathematics understanding for children most impacted by colonialism, in particular Black and Mi’kmaw children in Mi’kma’ki or what we now call Nova Scotia. This research stems from ongoing collaborative relationships in local Mi’kmaw and Black communities that […]

This research project focuses on the integration anonymized signals from sensors. The capture of this data and application provides enhancement and personalization and additional clarity of information to optimize the value of benefits and features for FutureCite membership services.

Hardwood tree species provide many ecological and economic benefits to New Brunswick and across Canada. These benefits relate to biodiversity and habitat, high-quality timber products, and of course maple syrup. Understanding where these species thrive provincially will be necessary to help New Brunswick forests to withstand the challenges posed by climate change. Using relevant and […]

MAE Robotics Inc. is working on a unique robot system called Captive Trajectory System (CTS) for supersonic wind tunnels. The robot will move aerodynamic models and prototypes inside the tunnel to measure and simulate their motion trajectories. This research project will focus on developing and implementing the appropriate robot control architecture, various redundancy resolution schemes, […]

The partner company (AMD) is a major innovator in the field of computer graphics and visualization, they manufacture Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) which are used by many gamers around the world. While playing video games, gamers tend to perform out-of-band actions such as saving the last few minutes of gameplay after a challenging fight in […]

Design of many new products, including transportation vehicles to wind turbines to artificial heart valves, relies on simulation of fluid flow through and around objects. With advances in computational hardware and software, such simulations have become increasingly accurate and reliable. However, these simulations can still be very slow, or even completely fail to produce a […]

Of the five mass extinction events preserved in the fossil record, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction (the so-called “first mass extinction”) is unique in that it had extremely limited long-term impacts. Despite eliminating over 50% of all species on Earth at the time, shallow marine communities around the globe rapidly recovered, providing scientists a unique opportunity […]

Dans le cadre de la démarche Bien vieillir chez soi, cette recherche-action vise à implanter et mesurer les effets d’innovations articulées autour de deux applications que sont Hygiène 2.0 et MapIt. D’une part, Hygiène 2.0 offre une structure systématique de questionnement utilisable par la personne aînée elle-même ou ses proches conduisant à identifier soit des […]

This project seeks to play a role in making fusion energy a reality, a big step in energy decarbonization. The project is in collaboration with General Fusion, based in British Columbia, where a fusion reactor is being designed, based on a spinning cylinder of liquid lithium which is mechanically collapsed around a plasma to produce […]

This project aims to assess the degree of sociospatial polarization of green space in the City of Laval, Quebec, compared to the Montreal Greater Metropolitan Area (Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, CMM) and identify which areas in the city have reached or have the potential to meet proposed metrics for distributional inequalities in green spaces. The […]

Increasing industrial interest in biobased polymers to replace traditional plastics is on the rise. Bio- sourced alternatives still experience challenges that require resolution prior to their being able to fit into existing infrastructure and replace petroleum plastics in the market. This project will address the processability of a lignocellulosic thermoplastic to facilitate injection molding.

Mobile devices are essential in today’s enterprise, enabling workers to carry out their duties effectively. However, losing or having such devices stolen can be detrimental, making it important to locate them at any given time and place. The project aims to develop a simulation tool that generates location data for mobile devices in real-life scenarios, […]
