Over the past 25 years researchers at the UBC Geophysical Inversion Facility (GIF) have generated forward modelling and inversion codes that deal with most types of data of interest to a consortium of mining companies. This proposal moves the research to applications in their corporate environments, and to advance the tools and understanding about how […]

Ce programme de recherche vise à proposer une approche intégrée permettant aux villes de valoriser les technologies liées à la ville intelligente et aux transports intelligents, ainsi que les données collectées, dans l’optique de répondre aux besoins de déplacements des populations, d’améliorer la sécurité des citoyens et de promouvoir la mobilité intelligente et la logistique […]

The current project intends to create a software platform solution that solves the communication between organizations in the Music Industry. Overall, the platform uses third party systems to achieve the requirements of the problem statement. Moreover, the platform is built over abstraction levels to integrate different components. The research of the integration of these parties […]

To enable the development of self-driving vehicles, an accurate characterization of automotive radar modules under various road or weather conditions is required to ensure reliability is maintained under all circumstances. With this fundamental building-block established, ACAMP will be able to support Canadian technology companies in the development of autonomous vehicles. This project will also provide […]

Pelmorex (owner of the brands The Weather Network and MeteoMedia) operates weather information services accessed by all Canadians on desktop computers, mobile apps and television. The mobile app is one of the most downloaded and used apps in the country, within both the Apple/Google ecosystems of smart phones/tablets. Continuous and accurate location data is collected […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted significant attention in both industry and academia recently. On one hand, people are feeling excited about seeing the breakthroughs that AI has made. On the other hand, they are also worried that these advanced AI technologies will only be mastered by a very small number of organizations in the future. […]

The objective of the project is to design a model determining capital requirements associated with property and casualty insurance business lines for an insurer that is compliant with the new IFRS 17 framework (international accounting framework). Several subcomponents of the model will be developed such as a dynamic model embedding dependence for the evolution of […]

La populiculture, ou culture du peuplier hybride, consiste en la plantation d’arbres à croissance rapide, combinant des techniques agricoles et forestières. Même si le peuplier hybride possède un potentiel de croissance inégalé au Québec, les investissements massifs requis pour la mise en place d’une telle culture sèment un doute quant à la viabilité d’un tel […]

The biologically active component of cannabis is known as THC. Detection of this component can be used as an indicator of cannabis use. Current test methods are sensitive enough to accomplish this but they are tedious, time consuming, and require specialized equipment and especially trained personnel to carry out. There is a need for a […]

La sauvagine et d’autres espèces d’oiseaux aquatiques tels le plongeon huart font partie de notre patrimoine naturel et rendent de nombreux services écologiques, notamment la chasse sportive, la récolte de subsistance par les collectivités nordiques, la production de duvet et le plaisir retiré de l’observation d’oiseaux. En revanche, quelques-unes d’entre elles, comme la grue du […]

As consumer preferences shift from shopping at brick and mortar stores to on-line shopping, there is an increased need for warehouses to use automated systems that fill orders quickly and accurately. This research project will design a warehouse robot that is adaptable to different platform systems and shelving configurations, providing a lighter, faster, and more […]

This project uses the purchase history data from loyalty member cards at the basket level (i.e., all items bought by a customer during a particular trip) for customers under the loyalty program of a chain drug store to develop a model that can generate a realistic future “customer shopping list” (i.e., customer baskets) using the […]
