The aim of this research and development project is to design and develop a bedside point-of-care device to be equipped with the CardiAI’s machine learning technology for heart failure management. our POC system will include disposable cardiac biomarker strips and an electronic reader. Once implemented, it will be connected to the AI platform that will […]

Continuous centrifugal casting (CCC) is a new process to produce aluminium tubes with many advantages over classical extrusion: reduced amount of scrap and energy consumption, low transformation costs, more flexibility to produce tubes of different sizes. In CCC, a constant flow of molten aluminum feeds a rotary mold which solidifies the metal into a tube […]

The candidate will utilize his knowledge and experience in transmission line modelling to implement test cases required for the electromagnetic transient studies. The simulations will be performed using well-known computer packages available at BC Hydro and Power labs at UBC as well as programs written by the candidate to implement the recently developed line model […]

The aim of this project is to develop a computer-based algorithm that will integrate a planning model with a scheduling model to improve operations management for analytical service facilities. An iterative decomposition algorithm that can provide optimal production scheduling sequences (in acceptable computational times) based on changes in the strategic planning decisions will be provided […]

Technological challenges in the pulping process of cellulosic fibers of different origins that can provide an optimal eco-responsible, biodegradable, recyclable and compostable alternative to polluting styrofoam packaging. AecopaQ stands out by using natural fibers grown and processed locally to the production of packaging trays for the food industry. AecopaQ is part of Canada’s sustainable development […]

The Ubiquitous Health Technology Lab (UbiLab) will explore the development of a data integration framework and recommendation for associated standards that aims at combining data from (1) smart home systems, (2) AAL or IoT for health technology, (3) mHealth, and (4) wearables. Important areas of data management will be explored, as for example security and […]

The proposed research project aims to develop a multi-modal stethoscope, containing superior digitized heart and lung sounds, telemedicine capabilities and assistive diagnostics. This is achieved by leveraging new advancements in piezo, microphone, wireless and machine learning technologies. The project will investigate these technologies and integrate them into custom made electronics and mechanical designs to achieve […]

The environmental stress of altitude and heat have both been shown to elicit divergent adaptive responses and are used by elite athletes to augment training adaptation and subsequent performance.   Indeed, 3-4 weeks at moderate altitudes can increase the body’s natural erythropoietin (EPO) responses, raising hemoglobin by 4-6% and enhancing endurance performance.  Conversely, as little as […]

The world is full of painted surfaces of a variety of colours and the paint industry has evolved to improve colours, longer last colour intensity, alter finishing and cover a myriad of different surfaces. However, there has been a lack of development in temporary markings or coatings that last from hours to days. This project […]

This research intends to equip the stakeholders with better understanding of the successful applications of revenue sharing mechanisms at national and local levels in resource-rich countries. The work will identify the “new norms” of the industry and government in resource revenue sharing arrangements and provide a description of the model approach on resource revenue sharing […]

The mining industry forms an integral part to the economy of Newfoundland and Labrador. The island of Newfoundland is particularly important to the NL mining industry, as it houses several active mining operations, as well as minerals exploration and developments in several areas including the Baie Verte peninsula. As mining operations are noted as impacting […]

Across Canada, there are widespread and growing concerns about the impact of screen time on the wellbeing of families and young children. Yet research on this topic, particularly that which is specific to mobile technologies (e.g., smartphones, iPads), remains in its infancy. The proposed research will involve a detailed survey of screen time in families […]
