The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide guidance for how to address the interconnected challenges of climate change. Most modelling does not include consideration of the different factors of the SDGs, though recent work has begun to include the nexus of Climate, Land, Energy and Water interactions in models. This helps identify impacts of the energy […]

Recent advances in wearable devices have allowed athletes to monitor some determinant factors of their sport performance. In addition, they can be used to develop real-time 3D avatars of people to compete with them during dynamic activities. Kinetyx recently developed insoles with multiple sensors that can be worn within a shoe while performing many activities. […]

This research and development project intends to improve the performance of a dental implant stability measurement (ISMS) device made by Prefail Dental Solutions Inc. The technical improvements proposed by this project includes (i) developing an impeoved and reliable signal processing technique, (ii) designing a calibration unit, (iii) designing a new tip for the ISMS clinical […]

Microplastics (MP), defined as any plastic polymer particles

Skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema are common and cause discomfort in skin lesions. Psoriasis is a chronic disease with cycles of unknown triggers. Currently treatments for psoriasis are very limited. A special bacterium-produced compound called benvitimod has demonstrated effects on treating both psoriasis and eczema by suppressing inflammation and promoting cell migration. However, […]

Climate change is leading to the retreat of glaciers and more extreme weather events that greatly increase landslide hazards on Canadian mountains as seen by the recent catastrophic events and fatalities in British Columbia. BC also hosts dormant volcanoes which are important areas for development of geothermal energy yet are vulnerable as they consist of […]

The aim of this project is to improve simultaneous EEG-fMRI techniques through the use of constrained principal component analysis (CPCA). The main problem with combining EEG measures and fMRI measures is that recording EEG in the MR scanner always injects noise into the data. CPCA partitions the variability of the data into systematic and error […]

Ubiquitous deployment of networked cameras has boosted the prevalence of video analytics. Leveraging machines to automatically analyze captured videos has become the driving force behind a variety of contemporary applications. However, it is known to be resource-hungry with highly dynamic demands, which mismatches the existing monolithic cloud service deployment with coarse-grained resource allocation. Recent advances […]

Hydrogen is a promising vehicle fuel that emits no greenhouse gases at the end use and can be produced from a variety of renewable and low-carbon sources. However, to provide a useful vehicle range it has to be stored at very high pressures, with maximum pressures as much as 800 times atmospheric pressure. Fuel stations […]

Vidigami, the sponsor company, is developing tools to create digital yearbooks for schools – organizing personal photo collections of students, parents, and staff. Current technologies have made it easy for everybody to have a digital camera or simply digitalize their hardcopy versions of their photos. However, this huge amount of data makes it hard to […]

This project brings together a leading team of academics, public and private sector actors to co-develop a decision-making framework for Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to reduce climate change impacts like floods, heat risks while improving municipal service delivery, enhancing human health and well-being, and protecting biodiversity. NbS projects range from protecting natural assets (such as wetlands, […]
