In order to model and determine properties of plasmas such as magnetosphere or fusion devices a consistent mathematical model is required. The goal of this project, among other open problems, is to prove long time uniqueness and existence of the Relativistic Vlasov Maxwell system. In the process, determine estimates on the electromagnetic field intensities, the […]

The objective of the HealthBX project is to research and develop advanced software engineering methods for the purpose of increasing the interoperability of different clinical health information systems used in the province of British Columbia (BC). BC clinics use a variety of different health information systems to maintain electronic patient data. However, the abilities for […]

The North Coast Innovation Lab (NCIL) is a place-based initiative for people who are invested in the future of Prince Rupert to work together on tangible projects and initiatives that build a resilient economy as a tool for community well-being. Forthcoming student Project Coordinators provide capacity to the efforts of the NCIL through action-research, project […]

The ‘Mothership’ concept aims to provide a holistic alternative to urban sprawl. A ‘Mothership’ is a large (more expansive than tall) building or cluster of buildings with high residential density plus a mix of others use types. The idea is that this building will encompass all the necessities of a typical suburb into a compact […]

This research aims to measure complex cartilage and joint mechanobiology, the dynamic interaction between cells and the physical factors, such as force, in their environment. This will be done by combining quantitative micro-computed tomography (microCT), image guided mechanical evaluation, and quantitative morphometric analysis. The aim is to combine these approaches into a single platform to […]

We seek to test the behaviour of candidate detectors for the proposed CASTOR space telescope. We are focused on the response to dim images, the behaviour when resetting portions of an image during exposure, and the behaviour when using multiple reads throughout an exposure to reduce the effect of random noise generated when reading the […]

The project goal is to determine the clinical utility of Orpyx LogR technology to detect gait changes and their efficacy to predict and monitor fall risk. Project I will use existing data to determine sensitivity and specificity for prospective classification of fallers and non-fallers for a composite measure drawn from an extensive battery including single […]

ImmunoPrecise antibodies is a company that specialized in the production of custom antibodies, the Y-shaped molecules produced by living things to defend itself from infection. Their ability to recognize and bind to specific targets allows for their use in diverse scientific analyses where their specificity of binding is manipulated to allow for localization and/or isolation […]

Spirit bears are a valuable symbol of the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia. These white bears are an economically and culturally important resource that require effective monitoring to ensure their perpetuation. Safeguarding the future continuation of white bears additionally requires understanding both how the white bear allele is perpetuated and how healthy these populations […]

Marine debris is an ever growing environmental and human health concern. Beach litter is a major contributor to the issue of marine debris, especially in the Global South where often lack of awareness and lack of policy enforcement are factors that promote continuous littering of beaches in coastal communities. Under the community-based, participatory action framework, […]

The interns in this project will help to develop a sensor system capable of measuring the aerodynamic forces on a bicyclist. The measurement will be done in real-time; i.e. the rider will be able to see as they ride down the road how changes in their position or equipment affect their drag, and hence be […]
