  The chiral p-wave (p_x \pm ip_y) superfluid has attracted significant
attention in recent years, mainly because its vortex core supports a Majorana
fermion which, due to its non-Abelian statistics, can be explored for
implementing topological quantum computation. Mixing dipolar bosons with
fermions in quasi-two-dimensional (2D) space offers the opportunity to use the
roton minimum as a tool for engineering the phonon-induced attractive
interaction between fermions. We study, within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov
approach, the p-wave superfluid pairings in a quasi-2D dipolar Bose-Fermi
mixture. We show that enhancing the induced interaction by lowering the roton
minimum can affect the stability property of the mixture as well as the
effective mass of the fermions in an important way. We also show that one can
tune the system to operate in stable regions where chiral p-wave superfluid
pairings can be resonantly enhanced by lowering the energy cost of the phonons
near the roton minimum.
