Quiecean develops a Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) device that reduces underwater noise and pollutants to protect marine ecosystems. The project validates its technical design and business model for commercialization in Canada’s blue economy.

This project aims to convert seafood waste such as shells, bones, and seaweed trimmings into valuable nanoparticles using nanotechnology. Instead of discarding these materials, they will be transformed into eco-friendly products for use in agriculture, medicine, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. The nanoparticles will help improve soil health, enhance crop nutrition, clean polluted water, and […]

This project aims to advance a clean technology that uses an electrodialysis process to remove acidity from seawater while producing green hydrogen. Using seawater and renewable electricity, the system removes excess acidity, encouraging ocean carbon uptake. The result is de-acidified seawater capable of absorbing more carbon dioxide, while simultaneously producing green hydrogen as a valuable […]

Ocean technology companies and research organizations rely on autonomous sensors, buoys, and communication nodes to monitor marine environments and support offshore operations. While these devices provide essential data, their dependence on batteries creates high servicing costs, logistical challenges, and limited deployment lifetimes in harsh marine conditions. Overcoming these limitations is critical for enabling sustainable, long-term […]

This project explores how countries are managing the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy, with a focus on just energy transitions that aim to provide an equitable transition for workers and local communities. The research focuses on Colombia’s national state-led just transition plan. By conducting on-the-ground fieldwork, the project will examine whether the financial […]

This project develops a unified multimodal sensory analytics framework to monitor remote aquatic ecosystems using video, sonar, and environmental sensors. By combining these complementary data sources, the system can operate continuously across a range of challenging conditions such as low visibility, night-time, or remote locations with limited infrastructure. The project is a collaboration between Simon […]

This project will support research on a pest insect called the lesser clover leaf weevil, which damages red clover seed crops and currently requires frequent insecticide use. The goal is to develop a safer and more targeted control method using natural scent cues that the insects rely on to find mates and food. To do […]

Seanetik est une startup québécoise issue du projet de fin de baccalauréat d’étudiants en génie mécanique et robotique à l’Université de Sherbooke. L’équipe mixte et multidisciplinaire développe une technologie innovante de nettoyage de coques de navires submergé, dans le but de réduire les émissions causées par l’accumulation de biosalissures, tout en assurant un contrôle sur […]

Le projet de recherche porte sur l’impression 3D de bio composites à base de lignine, un matériau biosourcé issu de la biomasse. L’objectif est de développer des matériaux écologiques et performants pour l’impression 3D en intégrant la lignine dans des composites innovants. Le stagiaire étudiera la formulation de ces bio composites, leurs propriétés rhéologiques et […]
