Message From The Dean

Welcome to the 2014/15 (inaugural) issue of the Annual Research Report of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University!

Our Faculty has a long, proud tradition and reputation of excellence in engineering education and research. Our research programs are finding new solutions to global problems, educating future leaders, and turning discoveries into new technologies and products. Many faculty members are internationally renowned and award-winning professors in their respec-tive fields of research. Students have a unique opportunity to study and learn from outstanding professors using world-class facilities. Our researchers are advancing the frontiers of knowledge to make the world a better place.

The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science is experiencing an exciting period of major expansion. The Province of Newfoundland and Labrador has thriving offshore oil, ocean, energy, mining and information technology sectors, which have driven a rapid need and demand for more engineering research capacity in the province. The Faculty aims to double by 2020 with a projected increase of 300 graduate students and an increase from 170 to 250 under-graduates per year. Recent new initiatives include new science and engineering building infrastructure, exceeding $300 million, and a new $7 million Suncor Energy Offshore Research and Development Centre. CARD (Centre for Arctic Resource Development) is a new $12 million centre that positions Memorial University among the foremost global leaders in Arctic resource research and development.

Our Faculty provides the highest quality of education, a vibrant educational environment and innovative programs. These provide our graduates with the skills needed by employers to succeed and become leaders of tomorrow. We offer accredited undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs in civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, oceans and naval architectural engineering (unique in Canada), and process engineering. The Faculty’s undergraduate co-operative programs were among the first in Canada. Further course-based graduate programs are offered in oil and gas, engineering management, computer engineering and environmental systems. In total, these programs are offered to approximately 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students.

It’s a great time of opportunity for graduate students to pursue engineering research at Memorial University. The annual external research funding of faculty members currently exceeds $18 million per year. Many of these projects are multi-disciplinary, providing students with valuable teamwork experience. Several faculty members hold prestig-ious research chair appointments. These include the Husky Energy Chair in Oil and Gas Research, Chevron Chair in Petroleum Engineering, Vale Research Chair in Process Risk and Safety Engineering, and Wood Group Chair in Arctic and Harsh Environment Engineering.

The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has officially opened a new research centre dedicated to ocean/offshore engineering research and development.

The new Suncor Energy Offshore Research and Develop-ment Centre – an expansion to the S.J. Carew (Engineering) Building – will provide engineering research teams with a new 11,700-square-foot building extension to collaborate with industry partners and other organizations, nation-ally and internationally. The centre was made possible with an investment of $4.8 million from the Research and Development Corporation (RDC) and $2 million from Suncor Energy through Memorial’s Dare To fundraising campaign.

“We are thrilled to have this new space that allows our researchers and their teams to expand their collaborations with local and global partners in offshore technology research and development,” said Dr. Greg Naterer, dean of engineering and applied science. “We truly appreciate the support from Suncor Energy and RDC and value our relationships with industry partners. We look forward to many years of conducting leading edge research in the centre and educating future leaders.”

The centre will serve to integrate various research and development entities in the local innovation ecosystem, including institutional, industrial and public sector researchers, and be instrumental in training highly quali-fied personnel for the offshore/ocean sectors.

Projects in the centre will focus on solving technical challenges facing offshore Newfoundland and Labrador activities. It is estimated that the new centre of expertise will help grow Memorial’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science R&D by $6 to 8 million per year over the next five years and will involve approximately 100 full-time equivalent researchers.

“Memorial University has some of the top researchers and expertise in the world in the areas of offshore engineering,” aid Dr. Kachanoski, Memorial’s president and vice-chancellor. “The Suncor Energy Offshore Research and Development Centre has created a collaborative

space for faculty, graduate students and industry partners to advance their cutting-edge research and to further elevate Memorial’s status as a centre of expertise in offshore research and development.”

A team of Arctic researchers from Memorial University and the C-CORE Centre for Arctic Resource Development (CARD) have completed an exciting collaborative field program with the University Centre of Svalbard (UNIS) in the Barents Sea, which lies in the high Arctic, north of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

Based out of Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the program was conducted April 22-29 by an international team of researchers and students from Norway, Russia, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Funded through the Research & Development Corpora-tion’s (RDC’s) ArcticTECH Program, the Canadian team included Dr. Rocky Taylor, CARD Chair in Ice Mechanics at Memorial University’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science; CARD researchers Drs. Eleanor Bailey and Ian Turnbull; and two Memorial graduate students, Doug Smith and Regina Sopper.

Participation in a field program of this scope is a rare opportunity.

“It was a great learning experience for students and researchers alike,” said Dr. Rocky Taylor, team leader. “We performed on-ice field tests and completed an intensive data collection campaign in an environment that is rarely visited by researchers.”

The data is being used to identify and document different types of ice features and to validate new techniques for interpreting satellite imagery for the purpose of ice environment characterization, as well as to assess the physical and mechanical properties of sea ice and ice ridges.

“Collecting and analysing high-quality field data is a key element of CARD’s five-year research plan,” said Dr. David Murrin, CARD’s executive director. “Such data will help improve understanding of the ice conditions in the Arctic and offshore Newfoundland and Labrador and aid the development of new models and technology to support the development of northern oil and gas resources. This field program’s on-ice data collection campaign will support a number of current and new research projects.

“It also gave us an opportunity to train both researchers and students in field data collection techniques, helping advance another important CARD goal: to build new capacity among the next generation of Arctic experts.”

“This unique opportunity for Memorial researchers supports our commitment to increasing Arctic R&D capacity,” said Glenn Janes, Chief Executive Officer, RDC. “This type of learning opportunity is necessary for the development of highly qualified personnel and world-class expertise in an area of great importance to the province.”

The Memorial/CARD participation in this Barents Sea field program was conceived in January 2014, when the program leader Dr. Aleksey Marchenko was hosted as a visiting researcher at CARD. Memorial University’s vice-president (research), Dr. Richard Marceau sees the value for Memorial’s research community.

“CARD’s Visiting Researcher Program is fostering increased international collaboration between CARD, Memorial and other Northern universities,” he said. “We expect Memorial’s participation in the Barents Sea program to be the first of many opportunities for exchange, research and training with Arctic research projects and organiza-tions around the world.”

The deep waters of Smith Sound, Trinity Bay, hold many mysteries. Why did Smith Sound have a strong and vibrant cod stock during the moratorium? What happened to vessels that sank in the 1890s during an ice storm? Are there really internal standing waves, or seiches, in the waters and what drives them? These are questions surrounding one of the longest fjords along the coast of the island, questions that no one has been able to answer. A team of researchers from Memorial’s Marine Environmental Research Laboratory for Intelligent Vehicles (MERLIN) is searching for the answers in hopes of uncovering the mysteries of Smith Sound.

MERLIN researchers from the faculties of Engineering and Applied Science, Science and Arts are using an explorer-class autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) called DORA (Deep Ocean Research AUV). Dora the Explorer provides 3D images of the seafloor, information on the seafloor topography and can even detect shipwrecks on the ocean floor.

During phase one, which took place in June 2014, the AUV conducted a preliminary multi-beam survey from the surface. The survey provided an accurate map of the bottom of the Sound.

“Existing charts for the area only provide soundings, or depth measurements, at point locations,” explained Dr. Dan Walker, lead researcher of the project. “That’s fine for a ship or boat at the surface because it’s not in danger of hitting anything in 150 or 200 metres of water.”

For phase two, in early July, the AUV dove to the bottom of the ocean and mapped seabed from approximately 20 metres altitude.

“We used the multi-beam sonar again and improved the bathymetric map developed in phase one,” said Dr. Walker. “The closer the sonar is to the sea floor, the higher the resolution so we were able to see images or obstruc-tions very clearly. The AUV has other types of sonar as well – a side-scan sonar and a sub-bottom profiler. The side-scan sonar sends signals from the side of the vehicle to provide a three-dimensional picture of rocks, wrecks, etc. on sea floor, which determines sizes and shapes of rocks and other objects on the seafloor. The sub-bottom profiler sends a signal into the sediment and can look into the mud to see things that other sonars can not detect.”

The MERLIN team wants to get a clear picture of the Sound’s seafloor. They want to know if it’s rocky, sandy or muddy, and if it’s rocky, they want to know how big the rocks are. This knowledge will help them understand why codfish were plentiful in Smith Sound during the moratorium.

“The principal goal of our research was seafloor charac-terization, which tells us what type of sediment is on the sea floor, for example mud, silt, rock or sand,” said Dr. Walker. “Based on differing acoustic responses, we can determine patches of mud or rock.

“However, some members of the team have an interest in archeology and were able to use the data we collected to establish potential locations of shipwrecks that may have occurred during the late 1800s, shipwrecks that remain a mystery today.”

While the results of the survey are still being compiled and more work needs to be done, the team is very excited about what they’ve learned so far. Multi-beam results, along with a subsequent bottom ground-truthing program using grab samples, which involves taking, or grabbing, actual samples from the sea floor to determine type of sediment have allowed the team to develop a preliminary habitat map. Initial side-scan results have highlighted potential ship wrecks that can be explored using remotely operated vehicles and future programs will, hopefully, increase their knowledge and expertise when using AUVs to explore deeper locations.

Harsh weather environments provide a particular challenge for researchers creating amphibious aircrafts.

Dr. Amy Hsiao is focusing on this challenge. The associate professor in Memorial’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science is zeroing in on the prevention of corrosion of large-scale aluminum alloys used in the aircraft, the exploration of fatigue and wear mechanisms leading to corrosion, and developing the use of novel coatings to optimize the lifetime of the material.

Dr. John Shirokoff, who is a collaborator on the project, and Dr. Hsiao have begun to explore non-destructive techniques to detect crack growth and propagation in large-scale aircraft structures and coupling these tradi-tional techniques with novel materials characterization and environmental testing.

Dr. Hsiao’s research will include corrosion testing and simulations, mechanical testing, materials characteriza-tion, processing and characterization of novel coating and risk, safety and adaptability to Newfoundland and Labrador’s climate.

“We will be developing corrosion-testing capabilities to address the materials issues encountered by amphibious aircraft operating in coastal-to-northern harsh environ-ments, such as those experienced in the province,” said Dr. Hsiao. “The surfaces and interfaces of large-scale aluminum alloys used in amphibious aircraft applica-tions are subjected to environmental and various service conditions.”

With $600,000 in funding support from Bombardier and the Research & Development Corporation (RDC), Dr. Hsiao hopes to contribute toward best practices in corrosion monitoring, materials testing and structural marine operations.

“I am very excited to be leading this research in collabora-tion with Bombardier and with the support of the RDC,” she said. “RDC’s investment supports us in addressing technical concerns shared by multinational companies such as Bombardier. The applied and collaborative nature of the project exemplifies the province’s position as a proactive, globally-conscious participant in advanced engineering research and training.”

Hsiao’s research on asset integrity issues of large-scale, light weight aircraft skins and innovative coatings will improve environmental adaptability of Bombardier 415 water bombers, such as pictured above.


Dr. Steve Butt is leading a project to develop tools and technologies to improve offshore oil and gas drilling safety and efficiency. The work of this process engineering professor and his team will also increase drilling research capacity at Memorial.

The Advanced Drilling Laboratory, a key component of the Atlantic Innovation Fund (AIF) Advanced Drilling Technology Project, is a major university-industry partner-ship with funding from the AIF, Research and Development Corporation (RDC), Husky Energy and Suncor Energy Inc.

One of the primary objectives of the project is the devel-opment and evaluation of Vibration Assisted Rotary Drilling (VARD), a technology intended to increase drilling performance by increasing drilling penetration rates and decreasing the rate of bit wear and damage.

“Our preliminary work focused on confirming if, in fact, vibration had a positive impact on penetration rate,” Dr. Butt explains. “Then we focused on understanding how that worked and why. We developed technology to test the process in the lab and that was transferred to tools that we could test in the field. Under field conditions, drilling

penetration rates were increased by 25-60% in weaker materials and three to four times in stronger materials.”Given that drilling is one of the single largest expenditures for offshore oil and gas exploration and production, these findings are significant. And while improving penetration rate is important for the drilling industry worldwide, it is especially relevant in cold-water climates, where drilling seasons are short. Faster drilling times increase the types and locations of targets that can be drilled in icy locations.

Faculty members, project engineers, postdoctoral fellows, interns and students have all played a role in the project, which has so far generated 25 publications, 20 graduate theses, one patent (with others under development) and several additional research projects and industrial collaborations.

While Dr. Butt has been the principal investigator of the lab since its inception, he credits the success of the project to teamwork. “A lot of people with a lot of different exper-tise and backgrounds have contributed to this work. We couldn’t have gotten this far without the participation of people with many different capabilities and skills. It’s been a team effort.”

Improved drilling efficiency could mark a sea change in the offshore oil and gas industry

It is estimated that the increase in global Internet traffic between 2015 and 2016 will be more than 330 exabytes, which is almost equal to the total amount of global Internet traffic generated in 2011, and that one in every five people owns a cell phone, which means that most people are likely accessing the Internet on their mobile

devices. As a result, every year Internet service providers are experiencing a greater demand for services, which, in turn, is driving the development and introduction of new technologies.

“In wireless communications, 4G networks are being commercially deployed and research has already started to be carried out towards 5G, while in optical communica-tions, 100 gigabit ethernet local area network systems are already here,” said Dr. Octavia Dobre, associate professor, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial.

Dr. Dobre’s research aims to find solutions to diverse problems posed by the next generation communica-tions systems, and involves using cognitive radio (CR) technology as a viable solution to the efficient spectrum utilization in wireless communications.

“Spectrum has been considered to be a scarce resource, while it is actually underutilized,” said Dr. Dobre. “CR technology aims to support dynamic spectrum access, which would allow the spectrum utilization by secondary users, when primary/incumbent users do not transmit. However, secondary users should sense the environment and ensure transmission without generating unwanted interference to the primary users. There are several aspects that need to be resolved before the CR technology can be fully implemented in practical systems, such as spectrum awareness, resource allocation and routing.”

Dr. Dobre’s work on CR technology is supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Communications Research Centre in Ottawa, Ont.

In addition to her research on CR technology, Dr. Dobre and fellow faculty member Dr. Ramachandran Venkatesan have started an ambitious Atlantic Innovation Fund project aiming to provide a technological solution to achieve transmission rates higher than 100 gigabyte per second in the optical transport networks.

The goal is to apply orthogonal frequency division multi-plexing, a technique used in wireless communications, to transmit at ultra-high speeds on optical transport networks —the backbone for data transmission.
