Nearly $1.2 million allocated to UQAT by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
Professor Mourad Nedil from the School of Engineering has been awarded a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's Research Tools and Instruments Grants Program for the purchase of cutting-edge equipment. His research project aims to enhance the safety of miners working in deep mines through the use of a wireless communication network. The funding will be used to acquire an oscilloscope, an instrument designed to visualize an electrical signal, for conducting measurements to characterize and model dynamic radio channels in the millimeter-wave bands in underground mines.

Applied research at the core of three grants in natural sciences and engineering at UQAT.
Intelligent Body Antenna System for Deep Underground Mines. Professor Nedil is an expert in the field of underground telecommunications. His project aims to develop new classes of intelligent body antennas in millimeter waves to enhance the safety of miners working in deep mines. Continuous communication between surface personnel and miners will be maintained, as sensors and actuators can be integrated into the safety clothing of workers, enabling tracking through a wireless network.

Sustainable Development in the Mining Sector: Five UQAT Faculty Members to Advance Knowledge through Grants from the Fonds de recherche du Québec.
Professor Mourad Nedil, School of Engineering: $300,000 for the project Intelligent Body Antenna System for Deep Underground Mines. Underground mining continues to advance to increasingly deeper levels, where temperature and humidity conditions are extreme, and numerous hazards (risk of collapse, fire, explosion, and unbreathable air) exist. Through his project, Professor Nedil aims to develop a new class of intelligent wearable body antennas. These can be deployed more optimally in deep underground mines through the more efficient use of Portable Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) technology.
