Identifying Vulnerabilities in Sexual Assault Policies among Marginal and Racialized Communities in Southern Alberta

Interning with a community based organization, the Chinook Sexual Assault Centre in Lethbridge, I will aim to research and explore the needs of marginalized and racialized communities as it pertains to sexual assault resources and policy creation/implementation. That is, I aim to research how university sexual assault policy may be successful and where it may need improvement based on the lived-experiences of marginalized and racialized communities. The goal is to foster inclusivity within sexual violence policies across university campuses and to ensure sexual violence experienced by those marginalized and racialized are appropriately considered in terms of intersecting oppressions.

Updating Laubscher’s empirical method to estimate subsidence limits

The increasing global demand for mineral resources and the depletion of significant of high grade near-surface deposits is driving mining companies to consider cave mining as the ideal method to exploit large low-grade deposits at depth. A key characteristics of cave mining is the formation of a significant surface subsidence crater, which may impact nearby infrastructures, as well as have important environmental impacts. The objective of this research is to update empirical subsidence charts using new cases from recent cave mining operations. This research represents a valuable contribution to caving geomechanics in the preliminary prediction of surface subsidence limits, which are of fundamental importance for the design and planning of adjacent infrastructures and for protection of the environment.

Document Understanding

Management of digital content (documents, screenshots, webpages, etc.) spread across many apps and platforms is becoming an ever-pervasive problem for professionals and businesses alike. Most existing solutions are focused on the storage and distribution of digital content, and there is yet a gap in the market for a tool that addresses the content management problem by gaining an understanding of their text content. Charli AI strives to address this gap by providing an easy to use platform for everything content-related; such as filing/ folder organization, optimal search, team collaboration, and analysis-driven insights and actions such as reports and reminders.
We propose to apply a set of empirical studies for document classification and information extraction from these documents. Specifically, character level language models, pre-trained neural language models, and transfer learning techniques in zero shot and few shot settings will be studied. The studies aim to determine the best document embedding for document classification, and Named Entity Recognition models for information extraction.

Nickel-Catalyzed ?-Arylation of Secondary Amides

Within the realm of transition metal-catalyzed reactions, considerable interest lies in the ability to generate carbon-carbon linkages using cheap and abundant catalysts and reagents, as products derived from these couplings are widespread amongst bioactive molecules including pharmaceutical and agricultural agents. The importance of catalyst design in facilitating particularly challenging couplings of this type cannot be overstated, as even small perturbations in reaction conditions can have profound effects on the governed catalytic performance and selectivity. In this project, we seek to utilize Earth-abundant Nickel-based catalyst optimization to perform the alpha-arylation (alpha to carbonyl-carbon) of secondary amides with heteroaryl pseudohalide electrophiles. Success in the proposed research is likely to be broadly impactful in terms of the improved conceptual understanding of Ni catalysis in terms of potential applications in both the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. In particular, the proposed methodologies involve use of more sustainable Ni catalysts (vs. Pd) for converting inexpensive and abundant reagents into useful bioactive molecules.

Végétalisation de sites miniers en milieu arctique par plantation en sillons.

Pour restaurer les sites miniers, il est souvent nécessaire de les ramener à un état préexploitation, incluant une mise en végétation. Pour ce faire, l’industrie minière doit surmonter plusieurs défis. Ceci est d’autant plus vrai dans un milieu arctique comme celui des mines nordiques du Québec. Deux des plus grands défis à relever pour ces mines est l’accès aux plants qui seront utilisés pour végétaliser le site et la résistance de ces plants aux impacts du vent intense commun dans cette région. Le présent projet vise à répondre à ces défis. D’abord, en essayant de produire des plants pour la végétalisation à partir de bouture d’espèces indigènes locales. Et ensuite, en testant une méthode de plantation en crêtes et sillons permettant de protéger du vent les arbres et arbustes plantés. Les résultats obtenus pourront aider à la restauration des sites miniers nordiques et à leur retour à un état satisfaisant.

Mitigating goose herbivory at Westham Island tidal marsh.

Tidal marshes are essential ecosystems both economically and ecologically. They provide many natural resources, such as filtering pollutants from water and providing flood protection. However, since the 1980s, we have lost about 80% of the world’s wetlands including many tidal marshes. This internship aims to identify the role of goose herbivory on marsh vegetation as well as to identify the best way to mitigate impacts of goose herbivory on marsh vegetation. To accomplish this goal, the intern will be setting up an experiment that tests the effects of using snow fencing versus steel fencing along the substrate as a goose herbivory deterrent. This project is being conducted to better understand whether goose herbivory is contributing to loss of tidal marshes, and to inform management decisions that guide marsh vegetation restoration.

Microchannel Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger for Flue Gas Heat Recovery

Natural gas power generation is a cost-effective method of generating electricity. NG power generators have been successfully installed in a wide variety of energy intensive facilities in Canada, including district energy systems, wastewater treatment facilities, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, office buildings, and residential buildings. However, more than 60% of the energy is wasted in the form of heat loss, and major heat loss is carried by the hot flue gas. The waste heat of flue gas can be recovered for domestic hot water supply, and also can be used to provide space heating in winter and space cooling in summer. In partnership with FEED Engineering Inc., the Thermal Management and Multiphase Flows Lab at UBC will develop a microchannel plate & shell heat exchanger for the effective recovery of waste heat from the flue gas of natural gas power generation.
