As a sector-agnostic investment bank, Gravitas Securities is a major provider of early-stage capital to companies. The intern will be asked to produce a final deliverable in PowerPoint format that will be presented to the Gravitas Securities team. This final deliverable will involve a PowerPoint presentation over 25 minutes where the intern will speak about […]

This project aims to develop an optimal method of integrating Photovoltaic plants into Microgrid with Diesel generators. It is expected to achieve high quality, high efficiency, and low cost of power generation by the introduction of renewable power source and its control system. Although existing researches have provided quite a lot of references for this […]

The appearance of multidrug resistance of pathogens poses challenges for researchers and industrial communities to develop more efficacious antimicrobial treatments1. Blue-O Technology Incorporation (Blue-O Tech) has developed a novel formulation of medicine that accelerates the wound healing process, while having an excellent antimicrobial strength over a broad spectrum of pathogens. Skin is the first physical […]

Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children. It is treated with a combination of surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiation. Radiation to a child’s brain can have harmful side effects that may have implications in later development. We intend to use molecular gene expression to validate our findings from BC Children’s Hospital regarding low […]

The Measday lab at the University of British Columbia Wine Research Centre has been collaborating with Okanagan Crush Pad (OCP) winery since 2013 to isolate native yeast strains present in OCP vineyards and winery. OCP is an organic winery and routinely carries out natural grape juice fermentations where no commercial wine strains are inoculated into […]

Our goal is to research, develop and commercialize an advanced biosensor that detects many different pathogen infections and immunity for diseases such as COVID-19. We are using a new sensor technology realized with semiconductor manufacturing technology (silicon photonics) and integrated optics and electronics. Our hope is that our sensors can provide answers to individuals, to […]

To decarbonise, the participation of the oil industry is key. Rather than process crude oils, refineries are able to co-process biogenic feedstocks alongside their fossil fuel to reduce the carbon intensities of the fuels they produced. Our project will evaluate what’s the impact of adding these biogenic feedstocks to the existing refining units by long […]

As an intern at Reliance Foundry, I am tasked with the following key duties: Coordinate and work with our network of Netsuite and Excel contractors to detail and execute on development projects. Coordinate and work with department stakeholders on improved reporting. Coordinate and work with department stakeholders on improved algorithms related to Inventory, Forecasting, Bin […]

As the intern, I will be taking on specific components of this evaluation as my own research contribution. These select components form the research project for which we are seeking Mitacs funding. Specifically, this research project, as a component of the overarching evaluation, will examine: 1) the role, bringing together their perspectives on implementation facilitators, […]

Convalescent plasma–used for over a century as the first treatment option in outbreaks caused by novel pathogens. The therapy involves transfusion of blood plasma from recovered donors, which contains antibodies, that can prevent or treat infection in recipients. Convalescent plasa therapy has been observed empirically or in small studies to confer passive immunity to susceptible […]

The proposed research is to investigate and prototype an intelligent architecture for the MemeLabs contest platform that will support advanced features such as multi-layer access control, scaleable design, and to explore innovative mechanisms such as generation and embedding a watermark in shared media of both photo and video. The project is important in the company’s […]

In 2008, Satoshi Nakamato introduced Bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. Unlike traditional banking system, Bitcoin allows people to transfer their money without need to trust a third party. This goal was achieved using the data structure called blockchain. Since Bitcoin, the idea of blockchain has been widely used in several projects. Depending […]
