This power plant project proposes a software system which assists the operator to optimize the fuel supply, storage and usage for the power plant. Interns manage to build a web-based application to monitor, record, display and forecast the state of fuel condition. Interns will use mathematical model implemented in the system to figure out potential […]

Haida Tide Cultural Tours is an Indigenous-owned and operated ecotourism company based in Masset, BC, Canada. This project aims to upgrade operations and strengthen the overall business infrastructure of Haida Tide through a two pronged approach of first upscaling business operations Haida Tide and second providing training opportunities for both our own staff and other […]

The Peace River Break is in the north east section of the province situated at the narrowest point of the Rocky Mountain range allowing for critical movement and ecological connections east-west over the Rockies and north-south between the mountain national parks and the Muskwa-Kechika Management area to the north. The purpose of this research project […]

Diversity among the mobile platforms requires an application developer to develop separate applications for each platform. Reason for this is the unique technological support and features that each platform comes embedded with. To use the features associated with any particular platform, we need to use the underlying SDK supported by that platform. Major market share […]

The focus of this two-year research project will be developing an understanding of the organizational culture and other pre-conditions required to facilitate AgeTech adoption and evaluation in the context of a regional health system. The PDF will work closely will technology companies and the health system partners who are piloting innovative technologies to understand the […]

In Canada, water security challenges include environmental degradation, water pollution, and climate change impacts. Utilizing constructed wetlands (CWs) for wastewater treatment addresses these issues by offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution. It helps mitigate pollution, conserve water resources, and adapt to changing environmental conditions, fostering long-term sustainability. However, given the uncertainty surrounding the effectiveness of […]

Careful operational planning is essential for making agriculture autonomous and sustainable. The movements of agricultural equipment in the farm can be optimized to increase productivity and reduce costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The aim of this project is to develop and productize advanced optimization algorithms to determine the best end-to-end machine routes, positions of […]

The general objective of this project is to comprehensively investigate the oil adsorption performance of a novel polymer sponge sorbent and understand how the new sorbent and its combination with other technologies can be used for oil spill response. With the increasing need and interests from marine oil spill response organizations for novel technologies that […]

The proposed research project at Tabor Lake, led by a dedicated intern, focuses on transforming the overgrown aquatic weeds in the lake into a valuable resource. These weeds, currently a nuisance, will be converted into organic compost through innovative and eco-friendly methods. This compost can then be used to enrich soil, supporting agriculture and gardening. […]

Rapid urbanization has triggered a global surge in the construction of high-rise buildings, necessitating their robust designs to withstand the impact of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and strong winds. In response to this challenge, innovative strategies are being explored to mitigate the deformations and accelerations imparted on high-rise structures by these natural hazards. One […]

The project focuses on creating and marketing a sustainable insulation foam made of pulp wood, replacing traditional materials like polyurethane and expanded polystyrene. This eco-friendly substitute aligns with the global demand for sustainable products, particularly in the building and insulation sectors.

This project will determine what safe by-products are being created by the air pollution, including Carbon Dioxide, that RainIons is transforming/reducing with the unique materials and coating, what the mechanism of action is (e.g., how it’s occurring), and help RainIons optimize their technology for production. The project has three phases: • Phase 1: Determine what […]
