The interns will work on improvements to algorithms using geometry and deep learning for estimating human pose of individuals and the distance between them. This is a difficult task to do from videos as it involves 1) the detection and 2) 3D metric reconstruction of persons in all kinds of poses and apparel. The interns […]

Accurate weather forecasts are extremely important when managing power production at hydroelectric dams. BC Hydro uses weather forecasts to predict the amount of water flowing into reservoirs due to rainstorms and snowmelt. This project develops a system that improves these weather forecasts by correcting them based on how the forecasts performed in the past. The […]

Barco is a global technology leader that develops networked visualization solutions for the Entertainment, Enterprise and Healthcare markets. My main objective is to help Barco reach a go/no-go decision on investing in R&D towards specific technologies/products in the Operating Room. This internship will help identify the target technology/product/surgical-market for which Barco will make a significant […]

The opioid epidemic is a serious health crisis and opioid treatment strategies are at the forefront of efforts to tackle this crisis. Replacement therapy is the current approach taken using medications such as methadone. To be more effective, the dosage needs to be tailored to individual tolerance which requires a point-of-care type analytical measurement of […]

As Building Automation Systems (BAS) are becoming a standard in commercial buildings, and additional 3rd party applications can help buildings owners gain insights from their BAS, structured metadata management becomes the key to success. However, as converting traditional sensors naming convention to structured tagging systems is an expensive and time-consuming process, this project aims at […]

The Sorensen laboratory-based Childhood Cancer Research Program is specifically focused on elucidating the genetic and biological determinants of the metastatic process in childhood cancer. Metastatic disease remains the single most dominant driver of adverse outcome in most childhood cancers, particularly in childhood sarcomas. Cancer stem cells, malignant cells that share many characteristics with normal stem […]

Silverberry Genomix is a health platform company that is slowly expanding its business to integrate its product into various different systems. Our COVID-19 Impact Risk Reports are being delivered across senior care facilities in order to better equip managers with the tools to control and prevent the pandemic from causing harm to their residents. So […]

This research project aims to improve the quality of life and facilitate the early detection of some health conditions by enabling wearabale devices that have a very small form factor, are highly reliable and provide continuous health tracking and monitoring. The ultra-low-energy consumption of the electronics designed in this project extends the battery longevity of […]

This fall, I will be working at the Arts Club Theatre Company, Western Canada’s largest theatre company, as the Digital Projects Coordinator. I will be working across various departments including marketing, fund development and artistic to develop and produce digital projects for purposes of advertising, and generating revenue that was lost when theatres shut down. […]

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease characterized by recurrent collapse of the airway during sleep leading to sleep fragmentation and daytime sleepiness. OSA is usually diagnosed based on an overnight sleep study (polysomnogram) which collects detailed physiologic information over the night. OSA patients are also at increased risk of cardiovascular disease such as […]

Glycosidases are an ubiquitous class of proteins (enzymes) which catalyses the hydrolysis of glycoconjugates, and are involved in many physiological processes. However, despite the tremendous potential of glycosidases for both therapeutical and industrial applications, function and structure of the vast majority of glycosidases remains to explore. The main goal of the project is to develop […]

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), located in the knee, is commonly injured during sports. Patients who experience ACL tears often delay or choose to forgo surgery, which can reduce knee stability and alter movement patterns. Knee bracing is a commonly used treatment method to stabilize the knee. A novel method of knee bracing has been […]
