Periods of extreme heat and firesmoke are becoming more frequent in British Columbia with devastating consequences. People living at the intersections of poverty, medical vulnerability and low quality housing are often disproportionately impacted by these events. Our research seeks to answer the following questions: 1) How do communities currently navigate these exposures, 2) How can […]

The workplace remains a largely underdeveloped market for wireless service providers. This project will focus on the use of wireless technologies in the Canadian work environment. The overall purpose is to better understand the obstacles to technology adoption in the workplace, and offer actionable recommendations on how to mitigate them. The work will be done […]

Ce projet de recherche consiste à créer un robot conversationnel qui peut interagir avec les gens et leur recommander de la musique enregistrée en français. L’idée est que ce robot interroge des bases de données de musique en ligne pour suggérer des oeuvres musicales adaptées à chaque personne. Dans un monde où beaucoup de gens […]

The demand across British Columbia (and Canada) for access to outdoor spaces and outdoor recreation opportunities has skyrocketed. As a result of recreation-related impacts and the increase in visitation nature-based recreation managers have looked for new and innovative communication interventions to support responsible recreation practices. Specifically, the use of pledges has recently increased across the […]

GPS – the Global Positioning System and similar positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems, referred to as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), have dramatically improved productivity and safety in our daily lives. Calian GNSS Ltd. has developed a range of novel, low-cost GNSS antennas with advanced technologies. Further improvements are possible to increase antenna performance […]

Fuel cells are versatile, low-emission alternative energy sources, but their optimization and failure analyses are complex due to their black-box nature. For fuel cells to perform at peak proficiency, each component requires a different level of hydration, yet these parameters are currently unattainable with conventional diagnostic techniques. In consultation with Greenlight Innovation, this project focuses […]

Self-supervised representation learning (SSRL) has advanced considerably by exploiting the transformation invariance assumption under artificially designed data augmentations. While augmentation-based SSRL algorithms push the boundaries of performance in computer vision and natural language processing, they are often not directly applicable to other data modalities, and can conflict with application specific data augmentation constraints. This project […]

Computational chemistry is a powerful tool in the development of new pharmaceuticals, materials, and batteries. With accurate and fast computational methods, one can predict the physical and chemical properties of a molecule without having to prepare it in a laboratory and perform experiments, which can yield dramatic time and cost savings. However, the chemistry of […]

Ce projet s’intéresse au déploiement d’approches sensibles aux traumas en contexte d’intervention pour des populations en situation de précarité sociale. La notion de traumatisme complexe réfère à l’exposition, particulièrement pendant l’enfance et l’adolescence, à des traumatismes interpersonnels répétés, et aux réactions comportementales associées à ces événements négatifs dans de nombreux domaines du fonctionnement (Greeson et […]
