The goal of this project is to support the research of two master’s students whose work would advance methods for estimating the impacts on emissions, the economy, energy costs and housing affordability resulting from government environment, technology, economic and urban form policies and investments – occurring at all three levels of government in Canada. The […]

The research hopes to improve the ways that institutions and organizations in Canada can support Indigenous literature, through a comparison of initiatives in Canada and Australia designed for Indigenous creatives in the publishing industry. The project involves two phases. First, initiatives on websites of publishing institutions/organizations in Canada and Australia will be recorded to create […]

This research will aim to optimize Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) selection, through an optimization algorithm to be implemented on an online building energy auditing platform. The initial estimates shows that the platform can reduce audit time and cost up to 70% and offers detailed live results for multi-unit residential, commercial, and institutional facilities. This platform […]

Transport infrastructures are the backbone of our society and bridges are the bottleneck of the transport network. Climate change resulting in higher corrosion rates, and extreme climatic events are important threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to growing concerns for the remaining service life of infrastructure under normal […]

This project will evaluate an elementary school mentoring program, the Learning Buddies Network (LBN), which targets challenged students in reading and math, in terms of its outcomes in respect to the mentee’s self-efficacy beliefs and performance. The intern will consult with senior staff members of the LBN organization to identify improvements and extensions to the […]

The 3D entertainment industry has expanded quickly in recent years, largely driven by animated content, streaming services, video game development, AR/VR/XR. The new trend enabled by the ubiquitous graphics processing power is that users are becoming creators. Surprisingly, the fundamentals of 3D creation have not changed in 45 years. This puts the creation of 3D […]

Cities are increasingly being asked to attend to equity considerations in their decision-making processes. While some cities have adopted overarching frameworks aimed at embedding equity into the work of municipalities, there remains a gap in applying or operationalizing equity, especially in public-facing decision-making. Building on advocacy work conducted by local NGO Women Transforming Cities, the […]

The intern will be participating in an internship that seeks to bridge the gap between recruitment and marketing teams as the intern explores and develops strategies to target talented students dedicated to clean technology and sustainability. In partnership with the partner organization and academic supervisor, the intern will launch an updated marketing and recruitment strategy […]

SFU will be collaborating with partners of a supercluster on the Continuous Connected Patient Care (CCPC) Platform, which is being developed to provide safe, responsive, and high-quality outpatient care at home. We will be working directly with our partner, Medtronic Canada. SFU’s will focus on the research, development, and testing of medical grade wearable sensor […]

The increased global demand for energy coupled with the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has rendered the development of the hydrogen economy a top priority for governments internationally. In Canada, the goal is for hydrogen to provide up to 30% of the energy demand by 2050. In this context, the devices required for hydrogen […]

Nanoacademic has recently released a commercial computer-aided design software package called QTCAD for quantum hardware based on spin qubits in semiconductors, one of the leading candidates for the implementation of a quantum computer. While several demonstrations of the tool in realistic operation conditions have already been completed with academic and industrial partners, these demonstrations were […]

Declarative programming techniques have been used to make programming available to common users through introducing query languages such as SQL and spreadsheet programs such as Excel. The proposed industrial partner, LogicBlox, has developed software that enables highly-complex data analysis through the flexible and familiar form of spreadsheet computing. The main goal of this proposal is […]
