This project proposes an integration of explainable AI with NFT/Blockchain primarily for event organizers and ticketing systems. The purpose of this integration is to overcome the drawbacks of individual technologies and work in coherence for mutual benefits. The XAI based decision making supported by predictive maintenance and automation of event critical processes will enable event […]

Off the coast of British Columbia, Resident Killer Whales are considered at-risk and increasing evidence points to a lack of food (salmon) as one of their main threats. Resident Killer Whales have a complex social structure, where family groups are stable, matriarchal, and form associations with other family groups. The family groups or “matrilines” forage […]

The research contributes to the k?usxnitk? (Okanagan Lake) Responsibility Planning Initiative (OKLRPI), a syilx Indigenous-led process coordinated by the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program, and regional and provincial authorities. The OKLRPI responds to the Okanagan Lake Foreshore Inventory and Mapping reports which documented large-scale losses in natural areas. In 2022, OKLRPI will […]

This project aims to advance the development of a 3D shape generation software that uses generative adversarial networks to design dental crowns. A current prototype version of the software has been developed that allows generating dental restorations represented as point clouds. While currently generated shapes are coherent with the overall generation context of the crown, […]

Low oxygen levels in the blood can be used to identify children who are in need of emergency care. However, current tools for measuring blood oxygen do not always perform well when used by frontline health workers with limited training. This can lead to inaccurate measurements and delayed care for those who are the most […]

Climate change is a critical problem for society that is linked to all parts of our lives, and transport is one of the biggest sources. One major influence on transport emissions is where people live, as it affects vehicle ownership and distances driven. This project will examine how people consider transport when deciding where to […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de développer une approche d’intégration de données provenant des nuages de points et des images dans le but d’obtenir un modèle 3D précis, complet et texturé. Le modèle 3D ainsi permet d’effectuer une inspection visuelle immersive à haute résolution et de procéder à des analyses structurelles précises assurant un suivi […]

An increasing number of primary health care clinics have made the transition from paper-based record keeping to computer-based patient information systems, so-called electronic medical record (EMR) systems. One advantage of using EMRs is that data becomes more readily accessible for computerbased analytics in order to inform medical research and investigate compliance to clinical guidelines on […]

Human posture and its relation to health have been studied by researchers in the fields of health, kinesiology and biomechanics. There are some advanced postural screening technologies, but they can only be found in specialized clinics. Bodiometer has developed a non-invasive, user-friendly, and affordable postural screening technology for mobile devices. This project aims to evaluate […]

Bitcoin! Ethereum! Blockchain! In the past year, these words made headline news globally. The promise of blockchain, or decentralized ledger-based technologies, it has electrified the world and created an excitement for technology that was last seen in the 1990s when the internet was entering mainstream. The core premise of the technology is that blockchains are […]

In the proposed project, the intern will do a thorough environmental assessment of different activewear textiles. The methodology used is called life cycle assessment, and allows quantifying various environmental impacts (e.g. climate change, water use, impacts of toxic chemicals) among the entire supply chain (resource extraction, textile and cloth production, transportation, retail, consumer use of […]

The objective of this project is to conduct a feasibility study and build a business case for the design and deployment of an electric energy storage inftrastrucutre from renewable and mostly solar energy sources. The feasibility study will follow a thorough benchmarking and evaluation study of the various existing choices an select the one(s) that […]
