Using 33S to understand the extent of assimilation in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex: Implication of PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation

I believe, this chance to work alongside such esteemed professionals in MIT will be a valuable opportunity for me to enhance my skills and make meaningful contributions to the field. Moreover, this experience will also showcase the research excellence of UBC on a gloabal platform and will undoubtedly lead to future collaborations between our group […]

This project plans to unravel the relation between habitat characteristics and social dynamics that influence sexual segregation in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis). We will evaluate environmental and behavioural factors to better understand habitat preferences and social interactions that drive observed seasonal social and habitat segregation in bighorn sheep. The results of this study […]

Phytochemicals including vitamins, carotenoids and phenolic compounds have been widely accepted as the functional substances that make cereal grain health beneficial. Increasing evidence has shown the relation between these antioxidant phytochemicals and reduced risks of oxidative-stress related chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers. Among these cereal grains, rice is of critical […]

In the last twenty years, many efforts have been made to study the incredible properties that boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and nanosheets (BNNSs) have presented since their discovery, especially through their excellent performance in the aerospace industry. In parallel, bio-based materials such as nanocellulose have been considered a cheap and attractive material for developing nanocomposites […]

In recent years, lignin valorization has been given more attention by the scientific community, hoping to make breakthroughs in the field. Thus, this project aims to attribute value to lignin biomass (sugarcane bagasse and sugarcane straw from Brazil and kraft lignin from Canada), an industry by-product that is currently being discarded as industrial waste on […]

The strength and behaviour of the Earth’s crust is largely controlled by the presence and nature of plate boundaries—the boundaries that separate Earth’s jigsaw puzzle of tectonic plates. When movement occurs between two rigid crustal blocks, the resulting deformed zone that forms along the boundary is referred to as a deformation zone. Recent research has […]

This project aims to make quadruped robots smarter and more versatile by adding a 360-degree camera and a robot arm into a reinforcement learning control system. The quadruped robots will undergo training with these upgrades in a simulation environment before being deployed in real-world scenarios. These upgrades will help the robots better understand their surroundings […]

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic condition that leads to brittle bones and mild to severe bone deformities. People with OI often experience pain, discrimination, fear of breaking bones, and frequent hospitalizations. Because the condition is rare, the experiences of children with OI are not well understood by healthcare providers, who often lack guidelines […]

Conception avancée d’un drone multi-tâches d’urgence pour les situations de désastres qui pour une prise en charge clinique du patient allant du monitoring, traitement et transport (i.e.: Drone Alpha de Vimy Multi-Système; Modélisation et prototype). Ce projet s’insère dans la R&D de moyens de prise en charge de blessés en situation de catastrophes dont la […]

Delivery of safe drinking water is an essential public service, and distribution systems are a critical control point for the protection of public health. Distribution systems encounter issues such as aging infrastructure leading to leaks and breaks, pressure management problems, and maintaining water quality during transit to consumers. These problems collectively impact the safety, efficiency, […]
