Our Team was invited to participate in the 2nd annual quantum workshop offered by CMC Microsystems in Magog, Quebec. Our team was represented by Odette, Shihao, Mojgan and Ehsan.

UACE 2023

June 30, 2023

The UW-STREAM participated in the 7th Underwater Acoustic Conference and Exhibit in Kalamata Greece, between June 25 and June 30. Cole presented his work on covert underwater communication systems, while Ananya's work is on real-time adaptive multi-carrier transceivers. It was good to get feedback on our ongoing work.

Ocean Frontier Institute Seed Fund Day

June 2, 2023

Tanaka presented our hardware-in-the-loop simulator that is used to diagnose sailboat behaviour, including that of the SeaLeon when it was launched during the 2018 MicroTransat competition.

Visit to NRC/EME labs

June 23, 2022

Ehsan and Jean-Francois visited the National Research Canada Energy, Mining and Environment labs in Boucherville.  Thank you to Christophe for hosting.  It was very insightful to observe first hands the previous photo-acoustic sensor prototype, and we hope to build on this, as part of the OFI Graduate Excellence Network .

Presentation of our work at the Acoustical Society of America Meeting in Chicago

May 8, 2023- May 12, 2023

We shared our research on the development of an ASIC for measuring oceanic ambient noise and using power spectral density and other metrics to monitor environmental conditions. This work contributes to standardizing ocean sound as a crucial variable for climate change monitoring.

Attendance of UW-STREAM members at NEWCAS in Quebec City

June 19, 2022

UW-STREAM members attended the event, showcasing our real-time harbour porpoise localization system on SoC. Congratulations to Jordin for receiving a best student paper award. It was great to connect with researchers globally and exchange innovative ideas post-pandemic

Ryan Taylor and Surinder presented at FORCE's headquarters their final deployment to transfer radar data from a remote lighthouse.

Guest speaker at UNB's Faculty of Engineering

September 13, 2019

Dr. Bousquet provided a seminar on the Internet of Underwater Things at the University of New Brunswick. Thank you to Prof. Monica Wachowicz and her research team, our hosts at UNB.

Sea trial in Grand Passage, Bay of Fundy

August 21, 2019

This underwater communication sea trial experiment took place on August 14, 2019 in Grand Passage, Nova Scotia. A variety of signals were wirelessly transmitted underwater via acoustics, and then the receiver was left to passively record for a period of 7 days.  By analyzing the recordings, we could hear lots of animal activity throughout the seven days.
