MAF specializes in high-resolution imaging and in-situ microbeam chemical analysis and age dating of minerals and other materials such as environmental and archaeological samples. The Facility has ongoing research and development projects on ore characterization for metallurgy and advanced mineral exploration but aims to support a wide range of research throughout the university and beyond. … Micro Analysis Facility (MAF) (CREAIT Lab)
Memorial University is home to the Innovating Digital Energy Analytics (IDEAs) group. Our mission is to push the boundaries of digital analytics in the field of petroleum and energy, with a focus on cutting-edge technologies.
We develop processes to convert “low value” biomass processing and natural resource processing by-products (such as fish processing waste, forestry residues, mine tailings, and agricultural residues) to higher-value products such as biofuels, biomaterials (e.g. carbon capture and storage adsorbents), platform chemicals, nutritional supplements, and animal/fish feed. Our lab has the capacity to characterize the residues … Waste Biomass to Bioproducts, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science
