Corrosion of electrical utility infrastructure represents a major operational challenge that currently relies on labor-intensive manual inspections. This project aims to develop an automated machine learning system to detect and assess corrosion using publicly available street-level imagery, enabling frequent, low-cost monitoring across the distribution network. The proposed methodology will leverage recent advances in object detection […]

L’objectif principal du projet de recherche est de développer une approche d’optimisation de l’efficacité énergétique d’un bâtiment à chaque étape du processus de conception à l’aide de la simulation énergétique. Ceci dans le but d’assurer une meilleure conception des bâtiments futurs à l’aide de données recueillies dans des bâtiments existants similaires en formulant des recommandations […]

The present study will examine the effectiveness of the Sophia Recovery Centre’s Lotus Pond program in terms of outcomes for Sophia Guests on measures of well-being, quality of life, and substance use behaviour goals, the quality of peer recovery support experienced by Sophia Guests, and the efficiency of Sophia Peers at providing peer recovery support. […]

L’objectif du projet est de produire un drone capable d’atterrir de façon autonome dans la canopée pour y transporter des charges utiles permettant de récupérer des données sur l’environnement. Des technologies novatrices, comportant une partie mécanique et informatique, sont nécessaires pour y arriver. Premièrement, un train d’atterrissage doit être développé pour protéger les hélices des […]

In Early 2013, an NSERC Engage grant and a Coop term project enabled collaboration between Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc. Fuel Cell Division (MBFC) and Dr. Merida’s group at the University of British Columbia (UBC). A test-bench apparatus for the evaluation of fuel cell material properties during manufacturing processes was designed. The present proposal builds on the […]

The volumetric reduction of tailings is required to exert volumetric control on these ponds and shorten the timeline required for the reclamation of the lands occupied by the ponds. In this project we propose to harvest wind energy for fast interfacial evaporation to speed up drying process and volume reduction of highly concentrated waste slurries.

Recreational waters offer many benefits to society and public health. However, they can become risky when contaminated by disease-causing microbes. To ensure public safety, water quality is monitored at developed recreational water locations in compliance with the Canadian Recreational Water Quality Guidelines. In the interests of improving quality of life and local water quality, municipal […]

The project is aimed at implementing real-time processing techniques for video acquisition, compression and transmission. The project focuses on defining solutions in order to solve constraints within the system related to bandwidth and the battery energy of the sensor. Depending on the application, the acquisition and compression procedures could be based on extracting significant features […]

Patients with type 2 diabetes are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease, including stroke or heart failure. Newer medications can improve cardiometabolic health for patients with diabetes. But many clinicians are not yet comfortable prescribing these guideline-directed medications, and other clinicians are only comfortable after patients see several specialists. As a result, many patients do […]
