In the field of speech-language pathology, the tongue’s role cannot be overstated. It is crucial for articulating speech sounds and ensuring the safe passage of food and liquids from the mouth to the esophagus. Yet, despite its importance, speech-language pathologists face significant challenges in evaluating tongue performance due to the lack of effective tools. This […]

This project aims to create engaging learning activities and a digital interface to help different groups of people understand and talk about important social issues like racism, ageism, cultural differences, and generational divides. The project will focus on four main groups: young children, high school or university students, community members, and workplace teams. By developing […]

Skin cancer, especially melanoma, is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, with North America experiencing particularly high rates. Despite the importance of daily sunscreen use, concerns about the safety of traditional UV filters—such as skin penetration and potential hormonal disruption—continue to grow. Additionally, these filters degrade when exposed to sunlight, reducing their effectiveness over […]

This project introduces a novel, fast, and selective method for detecting microplastics (MPs) in water sources, alongside other contaminants such as heavy metals. Utilizing a cost-effective microfluidic chip, the solution aims to provide affordable water monitoring while promoting habit changes in plastic product usage to support environmental sustainability.

In wanting to better understand how the intersections of gender identity and expression, sexuality, racialization and ethnicity are taught within mental health care, education and professional practice, the overall objective of this research project is to learn how LGBTQ+ identities are taught to and understood by psychology students in Brazil. Dr. Dhebar will learn intersectional […]

Providing timely, effective and accessible healthcare is a major challenge for healthcare systems across Canada. This is more challenging for healthcare systems serving the needs of populations living in rural and remote areas such as northern British Columbia. The Northern Health Authority is tasked with providing healthcare services to over 300, 000 people living in […]

This project focuses on advancing the commercialization of a Sustainable Decision-Making Framework (SDMF) by refining an interactive Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model. The goal is to enhance the tool’s ability to visually represent decision pathways, making it more appealing and functional for potential customers. The project includes creating a Business Model Canvas, conducting a market […]

The industry-standard tunable diode laser (TDL) has a limited tuning range (only a few nanometers), and the output wavelength can only be adjusted thermally which is a slow process. Applications requiring faster tuning, utilize some sort of mechanical element, some systems utilize Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology but these are all still mechanical in nature and […]

Market Research for the Detection of TBI Biomarkers using Nanobiosensors

Multi-physics considerations are important for many engineering applications. For example, we may want to know at what rate heat is transferred between two different systems or how a fluid and solid interact with each other for applications such as turbo-machinery, parachutes, or blood flow through an artery. Engineers often rely on numerical methods to solve […]

Can the refinement of existing drone image acquisition and processing steps lead to improved absolute accuracy of calibrated radiometric thermal orthomosaics in order to more accurately identify salmon thermal refugia?

Concert Properties is undertaking a 6-month project to improve how it measures and potentially reduces energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its buildings. An intern will help create a standardized system to collect and analyze this data, identify gaps, and suggest improvements. This project will help Concert Properties better understand the current energy […]
