This project aims to investigate the potential reuse of dredged materials (DMs), which are generated as waste during maintenance activities for navigable areas, in the construction field. This will help construction industry in facing the surge in demand for raw materials to produce concrete and other construction products. To tackle both challenges sustainably, this project […]

Au Canada, pour une compagnie pharmaceutique, ce sont les médecins et les institutions de santé qui représente la clientèle étant donné que ce sont eux seuls qui ont le pouvoir de prescrire les produits de la compagnie. La relation avec cette clientèle est cruciale et doit être géré avec parcimonie afin de maximiser les ventes […]

In partnership with Antek Logistics Inc, the project will investigate how computer vision algorithms can help automate day-to-day operations in a warehouse. Novel algorithms will be developed to automatically identify and count pallets and containers within the warehouse for inventory tracking. We will also develop algorithms to detect damage severity on incoming pallets. The project […]

The intern will undertake a project which analyses several drainage structures of an experimental green roof while developing a numerical model to mimic the experimentally obtained results. In addition, the intern will also be involved in working on an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan, and low impact development methods. The partner organization will benefit by having […]

In agricultural watersheds, many meandering rivers were straightened and several rectilinear ditches were added to the drainage network in order to evacuate water as quickly as possible in the spring to improve farm productivity. The design of these modified channels was not based on natural river dynamic concepts, which include both discharge capacity and sediment […]

In warehouses, it’s important to know where forklifts are for safety and efficiency. Visual SLAM is a promising approach for forklift localization and navigation for indoor applications, but current methods have problems like being slow, not understanding what they see, and being affected by changes in light. This project aims to solve these problems and […]

Nanocellulose is an emerging sustainable Canadian nanomaterial with potential applications in a range of industries. This collaborative project between the Cranston group at UBC and Anomera Inc. aims to enhance Anomera’s nanocellulose product, Dextracel, through a straightforward water-based surface modification route. More specifically, we will increase the stability of Dextracel, improve the compatibility of Dextracel […]

Dans un processus de réclamations en assurances de dommages, plusieurs intervenants sont appelés à intervenir dans un même dossier sur différentes actions : prises d’avis de sinistres, estimation des dommages, suivi avec les fournisseurs, paiement, etc.). À chaque intervention, une prise de notes est effectuée au dossier. Ainsi, afin de bien connaître la séquence des […]

Change is a necessary part of an organization’s existence and its continued growth. Therefore, the ability to manage change effectively and efficiently contributes to organizational success. The intern, through an extensive review of change models and public sector change literature, will develop a change model suitable for the public sector environment. The model will be […]

Tiny particles made of fat are an established system for delivering nucleic acids into cells to perform gene therapy. We have developed a new polymer that can be incorporated into fat particles to improve the nucleic acid delivery efficiency. Using this polymer and others with a similar structure, we will engineer a library of fat […]
