The goal of the free app is to motivate inactive Canadians to sit less and move more. This will entail liaising with key experts and organizations in the […]

This project aims to conduct a comprehensive review of existing power line (PL) data processing procedure used in practice and to design and develop the new automatic workflow by integrating start-of-the-art algorithms with current data processing chain. This leads to the establishment of an innovative framework on automatic PL feature detection and reconstruction from LiDAR […]

Ce projet a pour objectif d’améliorer notre connaissance des processus qui ont mené à la formation d’un important gîte aurifère en Guyane Française. Ce site d’étude fait partie d’une région au socle géologique particulier et qui est exploré par diverses compagnies canadiennes, notamment Reunion Gold, le principal partenaire de ce projet de recherche. La géologie […]

As shared micromobility services (e.g., e-bikes, public bike shares, e-scooters) expand, there are uncertainties in how these will integrate with our current transportation systems. This project aims to examine public perceptions of micromobility in Metro Vancouver to understand the potential for shared micromobility in the region. Using surveys, focus groups, and case studies we ask: […]

Cohesys is developing a surgical tape indicated for stabilizing fractures to the face and cranium. In order for a tape to function inside the body, the adhesive must be non-toxic and be able to adhere and maintain strength overtime, in an environment which is wet, filled with proteins and other molecules and be able to […]

IBM QRadar needs to be able to categorize events generated by hundreds of different network devices in order to function as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). This categorization is currently a manual process and our aim is to automate this task. We have a database of over 579,000 events coming from over 300 […]

The evolution of aerospace technologies and automated systems has been accompanied by the phenomenon of “de-crewing”. A large body of current research focuses on how to move to single-pilot operations (SPO), but a major barrier to the implementation of SPO and other autonomous commercial aircraft operations is that advances in human-machine interactions and human factors […]

Sex Now is a community-based health survey for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Canada. It is one of only a few studies of GBMSM to be inclusive of transgender men and non-binary people which presents a novel and exciting opportunity to understand these groups’ sexual health and wellness […]

Prescribed fire and mechanical removal of woody vegetation have become popular disturbance methods for restoring globally rare alvar and grassland habitats that support many species at risk, such as reptiles. However, the effects that these restoration efforts have on rare reptiles is largely unknown. This study will identify alterations in habitat usage of endangered snake […]

The project will evaluate the Community Scholars Program (CSP) to promote program sustainability, growth and further development. The CSP provides free research database access for 500 community organizations in British Columbia and is a partnership between United Way of the Lower Mainland, Mindset Social Innovation Foundation, and the SFU Library. Now in its second phase, […]

Even if people have access to a past history of how they spend their time and their money, it can be challenging to make sense of past patterns in order to make decisions about how to better use their time and money in the future. By enabling past patterns to “pop out” visually, interactive visual […]

Dans la plupart des organisations, surtout les PME, l’automatisation des achats passe par l’acquisition d’une solution informatique qui supporte les processus d’approvisionnement. Malgré la complexité des achats de services informatiques et l’importance des dépenses associées, on ne connaît pas suffisamment les spécificités de l’achat des solutions TI ni la façon de minimiser les nombreux risques […]
