Cladding of structural materials for corrosion protection in molten fluoride salts

Terrestrial Energy is a Canadian company developing a molten salt reactor (MSR), which is a new type of nuclear reactor with several advantages such as reduced nuclear waste production, inherent safety, and the possibility of using thorium fuel. One of the main challenges with MSRs is corrosion of structural materials that are exposed to molten salts. A promising solution is to use corrosion resistant coatings on these structural materials. The objective of this research project is to study how the performance of these coatings degrades when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time. The outcome of this project will expand the knowledge base on materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of molten salts and provide direction for the continued development of MSRs, a promising source of emission-free power.

Estimating Real-Estate Property Prices and Days on Market through Machine Learning

In collaboration with Western Canada Realty, we aim to develop a real-estate valuation online service for the Alberta real-estate market, especially for Edmonton. The product resembles Trulia and Zillow on a high level, which are real-estate price estimation web services in U.S. The system requires a backend that takes as input house pricing information from several sources including real-estate property assessment publicly available from the City of Edmonton website and recent house transaction records on MLS®. Based on such data, the system will estimate the worth of individual houses, along with multi-facet real-estate price visualization in terms of neighborhoods, communities, and different housing types through a web service.

Prototype Behavior Based Integrity Verification (BBIV)

Web computing, in which the world-wide web is itself employed as a distributed computing platform, is entering a stage of rapid expansion with the advent of Open Web Platform so that programs that once worked only a native environment on desktop, tablets or phones can now work from within a browser itself. There is therefore a need for a new form of protection for apps. Existing security models are inadequate to address emerging threats to applications in low-cost, highly-exposed environments, because they fail to protect data and code on exposed consumer terminal devices of the network, which are vulnerable to attacks directly accessing their hardware and software. Irdeto developed a new approach for protecting such applications based on novel methods of integrity-verification, which permit the implemented validated integrity to serve as a root of trust.

Development of a novel skirting system for residential housing using composites

Canadian Vinyls Inc., based in Kelowna BC since 1994, has grown to become Canada’s largest distributor for vinyl skirting. CV represents an example of robust, local small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region, poised for expansion. The company through MITCAS support and interaction with the university team desires to bring on R&D capability to take advantage of perceived opportunities in creating an improved product and bringing more manufacturing opportunities locally. Specifically, the objective of this research project is to primarily perform a design optimisation of a novel residential skirting system, along with the associated manufacturing process, using composite materials for improved mechanical durability, aesthetics and thermal insulation performance. Thermo-mechanical modeling of prototype samples of housing skirting will be performed based on mechanics of composites and material selection techniques, and eventually a best-practice will be provided to construct a capability by the industrial partner to manufacture a new ‘Rapid Wall’ product.

Pharmacological Evaluation of a Novel Oral Amphotericin B Formulation for the Treatment of Disseminated Candidiasis: Providing New Therapeutic Alternative to the Commercial Intravenous Formulation

Amphotericin B (AmB) is the drug of choice to treat systemic fungal infection. AmB is available as parenteral infusions given over a long period of time to hospitalized patients. Our goal is to develop a novel oral formulation to enhance AmB low absorption and decrease the nephrotoxicity associated with its intravenous administration. AmB will be formulated in lipid based formulation from which AmB is solubilized by the lipid digestion products in the presence of the bile acids in intestine. To assess the efficacy of the formulation, a fungal infection model will be developed. The model will be challenged using various treatment regimens to construct a dose-response correlation. With collaboration with iCo Therapeutics Inc., the company will benefit from the analytical and research facilities in UBC to get this product moving forward for further pre-clinical research before it can be tried on human volunteers.

Characterization of impurities in Cd1-xZnxTe-based alloys for radiation detection applications

Compound semiconductors are widely used in a variety of consumer products such as TVs, smartphones, lighting modules, as well as in high-performance applications, e.g. medical imaging. The reliability and performance of such devices strongly depends on the purity of the base materials. This project proposes a systematic investigation of the impact of the level and the nature of residual impurities in bulk crystals on their optoelectronic properties. These results will, in turn, be used to establish quantitative criteria for determining the suitability of specific purified materials for detector fabrication. This project will enable 5N Plus to acquire new expertise and to develop new experimental setups for advanced optoelectronics characterization. This will provide them with a competitive advantage for developing materials fulfilling their clients’ needs.

Developing an On-field Test for Determining Recreational Water Quality

Recreational water sources are important commercial resources and activity hubs. Unfortunately, any public water source is prone to bacterial and viral contamination, which is a major concern for public health agencies. InnovoGENE Biosciences has a developed a simple test that can quickly determine the level of pathogens. Although this method has been rigorously tested in a laboratory, this test is unproven on the field. The intern has a significant understanding of the technology and is most suited to validate the assay and is capable of optimizing the assay for field use. The intern will work with research associates from InnovoGENE to perform field-tests between June to end of August and the data generated will be valuable for developing the first generation of prototypes.

Environmental productivity patterns of the Salish Sea

Pacific salmon are important from ecological, economic, social and cultural perspectives, but many species in the Salish Sea have seen drastic decrease in marine survival rate in recent decades, likely linked to reduced survival of the young stages of salmon due to a combination of environmental, food web changes, and human impacts. This activity will provide an ecosystem-level analysis of how the environmental productivity of the Salish Sea has changed in recent decades with focus on the implications this has had for salmon populations in the area. The aim is to develop a hypothesis for why the changes in environmental productivity impact salmon, as well as for how important productivity changes are for population trends as compared to food web effects and direct human impacts, notably through fishing.
