Various blood clotting disorders have been associated with COVID-19. The underlying cause of the problem remains unknown. This research project aims to tease out the underlying biological causes and evaluate potential treatments.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador have faced and continue to encounter challenges. They are also exploring new opportunities as they navigate what appears to be a new municipal world. Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador (MNL) is working with its members on this navigation through regular engagement, survey work and […]

Virtual environments represented by multibody system models play an important role in many applications. Adding the possibility of the user directly interacting with such environments via physical touch using haptics can significantly enhance the usability and range of application of simulated environments. In this project we particularly target two main objectives: (1) the multirate-simulation and […]

The proposed research project looks at the hydrogen economy, where hydrogen can be used in place of fossil fuels for the worlds’ energy needs. Although touted as a sustainable option for global energy demand, the vast majority of hydrogen continues to be produced by industrial, fossil fuel-based processes such as steam reforming of natural gas. […]

Le projet vise l’achèvement des travaux de recherche d’extraction de bâtiments et d’évaluation des dégâts de manière semi-supervisée entamés par le candidat au cours de ses travaux de doctorat. Le développement d’un outil opérationnel utilisant les techniques développées permettra d’effectuer une validation efficace et structurée des dites techniques. Les interactions avec les photo-interprètes de l’entreprise […]

La question du stress financier devient d’autant plus alarmante dans le contexte de crise financière dû à la Covid-19 qui a pour principales conséquences pertes et baisses de revenu généralisé des revenus des ménages. De récents sondages font état d’une vague de faillites personnelles à venir dans les prochains mois : 1,3 million de Canadiens […]

En raison de la pandémie de COVID-19, les personnes âgées, en situation de confinement sont déconnectées de leurs liens sociaux, et donc plus isolées et sédentaires que d’habitude. L’isolement social est encore plus critique pour les aînés moins familiers avec les technologies numériques. La présente demande vise le développement et la validation d’une solution logicielle […]

The research project will focus on identifying thermal characteristics of COVID-19 in humans and applying the characteristics identified to detect COVID-19 in humans using non-invasive methodologies. For this project, the thermal characteristics of viruses in humans, specifically COVID-19 will be studied. The aim will be to answer the following questions: (1) What are the thermal […]

We are building a machine learning algorithm to be able to better understand the unstructured clinical notes that doctors write about patients. This will help hospitals and healthcare systems standardize and extract insights from these notes to make them more useful for determining how sick COVID patients are and how they are improving over time.

The ability of the health system to manage a massive influx of patients is based on the combination of four factors: the personnel, the equipment, the physical spaces and the system in place. A combination better known in jargon as the 4 “S” (staff, stuff, structure / space, system). A fifth factor that is often […]

Food Convergence and Integrity (FCI) Canada is being formed to help agri-food companies mitigate the disruptions of Covid-19, increase interactions and innovations among Canadian agrifood companies and enable new agrifood business streams. Through its member platform, it will enhance resilience and competitiveness of the Canadian agri-food sector, resulting also in increased food security for Canadians. […]
