Edmonton’s Chinatown has long served as a vibrant cultural, social and commercial hub for generations of Asian immigrants and local residents. Yet it is characterized by a complex blend of social and economic challenges. This proposed project, “Growing a Sustainable Tourism in Edmonton’s Chinatown,” is designed to accelerate efforts to revitalize Edmonton’s Chinatown through planning […]

Our research project focuses on monitoring crops using satellite images. To address the problem, we leverage a fast-growing field of graph signal processing (GSP), which expands upon traditional signal processing techniques such as Fourier transform and wavelets to accommodate the graph domain. Specifically, we propose to unroll a designed graph-based algorithm into an interpretable feed-forward […]

Forestry directly modifies wildlife habitat, but how can informed, science-based management decisions be made without an adequate understanding of how different species will be affected? In the Central Coast of British Columbia, decades of industrial forestry have converted many stands of old-growth forest to second growth, creating networks of roads and cut blocks of varied […]

Tissue engineering involves extracting cells from patients, growing them in a laboratory setting, and subsequently employing them for disease treatment . However, cell expansion encounters various obstacles, such as significant expenses and labor requirements, resulting in increased treatment costs. Moreover, the industry struggles with challenges such as skilled personnel shortages and difficulties in scaling up […]

This project aims to improve how the long-term care (LTC) sector, generally, and Thrive Group, specifically, understand and implement equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) practices for staff and residents. Thrive Group recognizes the need for co-designed EDI strategies that advance inclusive excellence in LTC and create a sense of belonging for all staff and residents […]

Following the relaxation of policies mandating COVID-19-related non-pharmaceutical interventions, Canadian paediatric hospitals experienced unprecedented volumes of patients hospitalized with acute respiratory infections (ARI) such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Clinical presentations among these patients were often more severe, and patients were typically older and with fewer pre-existing conditions than expected based on pre-pandemic […]

Travelling on ice is central to Inuit well-being, identity and culture. Rough sea ice can pose as a hazard, or impediment to travel. Currently, regular, quality, high-resolution information is difficult to obtain from satellite instruments, but synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has shown potential in all these aspects. In this project, the intern will analyse the […]

Many applications often need access to information from multiple independent data sources, including public sources found on the Internet and private sources e.g., hospitals. Software that sits between an application and the data sources, so called “middleware”, can help facilitate this access. However, development of this “middleware” can be very time consuming, is often only […]
