Advances in computer graphics and display technology have brought new opportunities to create stunning visual effects and interactive experiences. Industry concerned with data visualization is seeking to incorporate these advances into their visualization pipelines. For example, our industrial partner LlamaZOO Interactive Inc. attempts to present abstract data situated in 3D realistic scenes. However, most research […]

Globally, Canada has the highest prevalence of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis relies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor lesion development over time in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. Despite its wide utility, MRI is not easily accessible. MRI requires a designated medical facility and expertise? is expensive, and needs to be done […]

our overall objective is to explain the process by which FRNs move beyond attaining starter jobs to advancing into senior leadership positions. Employment within a top management team means newcomers are likely to make a strategic impact on business. We focus on the Greater Vancouver area to leverage earlier research conducted in the Greater Toronto […]

AIS Inc. is at the forefront of developing practical mobile robots for various markets. Mobile robots are considered as very complex systems comprising of hundreds of interacting components in complex system architectures. Developing such complex robotic systems, particularly in large scale, requires a coherent collaboration and engagement on various specialized areas. All of the complex […]

Emerging my previous research with BC Cancer Agency is the notion of care coordination, a fundamental component of supportive care. Care coordination is an approach to care that attends to the unique needs of patients from the time of diagnosis through treatment and beyond across the following domains: practical, family (relationships), emotional, spiritual, physical, social, […]

Concrete is an abundant material present on earth today. It is believed that cement is the second-most abundant material after soil on planet. Infrastructure expansions and developments are close to impossible in the 21st century. Hence, building durable structures is necessary. Reinforced concrete, being a heterogeneous material, the possibilities of defects are immense. To save […]

This project seeks to develop GPU based versions of CPU implemented Subsurface scattering shaders. Rendering in video games and movies require increasingly complex simulation of skin and other effects from translucent materials As a visual effects solution provider, Cebus Visual Technology is very interested in implementing their shaders on the GPU to increase the computational […]

MarineLabs provides super high resolution real-time wind, wave, and other data for marine safety and climate resilience by operating a North America wide fleet of compact, rugged, self-powered, marine IoT. With vast data accessible on the CoastAware cloud, MarineLabs is pursuing a number of Machine Learning opportunities. The MarineLabs MITACS internship is aimed to power-up […]

The Ocean Allies project has a total value of more than $420,000 where the Ocean Supercluster will provide $250,000 with the balance of funding coming from project partners. Led by Pisces Research Project Management Inc together with partners Upswing Solutions, Huntsman Marine Science Centre, Assembly of First Nations, BioNB, Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship […]

This project will undertake research on priorities and concerns that arise within Indigenous and Coastal Communities across Canada. Shipping provides benefits to many remove communities in delivering critical supplies, but the increase in shipping due to growth in activities such as tourism, mining and other industries presents a risk to the environment, livelihoods and food […]

While we face a global pandemic with COVID-19, we look to our progress in HIV treatment and celebrate new medications that makes living with HIV/AIDS a reality for those with access. This was only a dream in the 1980s. However, HIV rates and HIV stigma remain high and stereotypes about who is susceptible to HIV […]
