THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW.

There are three main problems in construction sector which are addressed through our startup. The first one is the high negative environmental impacts and energy required for conventional concrete or earthen constructions. The second problem is the high pre- and post-construction costs which results more building costs and maintenance fees. Lastly, there is the necessity […]

The budding field of soft robotics, robots made of elastic materials such as rubbers or silicone, currently represents a 1.48 billion market size with a compound annual growth of 34.45%. The problem is that there is no specialized tool for the design and simulation of soft robots. Our research has already demonstrated a promising simulation […]

Heart failure significantly diminishes quality of life and has a high mortality rate within five years of diagnosis. While heart transplants are effective, they are limited due to donor shortages, and this gap is expected to grow with an aging population. Ventricular assist devices (VADs) offer alternatives, but VADs still underperform and remain underused due […]

The proposed project aims to develop a reproducible recipe for producing concrete augers that meet current expectations for wear performance and longevity. The project involves structural characterization of the hard matrix, particularly, the distribution and morphology of martensite, and the hardening particles, including various carbides embedded in such matrix. The hardness of different regions will […]

Dissimilar-material joining is becoming increasingly sought after in several industries – including automotive, aerospace, and rail – due to the potential to improve vehicle weight reduction and efficiency while maintaining safety and structural strength. Resistance Spot Riveting (RSRTM) is a novel joining technology designed to enable inexpensive, efficient, and effective dissimilar-material joining. As it stands, […]

This research project aims to explore and document the traditional textile methods of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, examining the impact of colonization, shipping, and fast fashion on these practices. By reestablishing traditional methods, the project seeks to foster cultural continuity and community connection. The study will employ qualitative methods, including interviews, participant observation, to gather data […]
