Leveraging its roots in dance and technology, Credo is building a multimodal motions platform for dance to enhance education, choreography and archival practices; the foundation being motion capture data. There are existing 3D motion capture libraries but they are either one of or many of the following: outdated, not comprehensive, poor quality, non-standard, poorly labelled […]

The Bloedel Conservatory virtual and blended field trip experience was created to address learning and accessibility challenges during the COVID pandemic to give K-7 students and teachers an opportunity to learn about non-native plants through a biocultural diversity lens. In addition, to addressing potential accessibility challenges to the garden, the virtual field trip may provide […]

The proposed research addresses fundamental challenges in developing LLM-based AI conversational agents for industry, health and related fields. The partner organization, Industrio AI is interested in overcoming these challenges by using new AI techniques that enable smarter, more natural, empathetic, and responsive AI chatbots for their customers. The goal is to produce a protoype for […]

Ionada has developed a patented marine exhaust gas cleaning system utilizing the latest in membrane technologies to provide the marine industry with a simple solution to save money and satisfy new International Marine Organizations (IMO) emission requirements. The intern will implement (install/retrofit/integrate) Ionada’s product onto existing ships with the aim of improving and optimizing the […]

Our project focuses on innovating the way families manage wealth and health in Canada. By combining tech smarts with personalized advisory, we’re crafting tools that make life insurance decisions clearer, bring families together on financial goals, and help people live healthier lives. These tools are not just about numbers and data; they’re about understanding your […]

The goal of this project is to support the research learning of three master’s students whose work would advance methods for estimating the impacts on emissions, the economy, energy costs and housing affordability resulting from government environment, technology, economic and urban form policies and investments – occurring at all three levels of government in Canada. […]

This proposed project will investigate the failure modes of platinum-rare earth element alloy catalysts for hydrogen fuel cells. These alloys are the current state-of-the-art catalysts in terms of durability for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), yet due to their recent discovery are lacking important studies to understand their degradation under working conditions. These types […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

This project is designed to look at the effects, and potential impacts of various forest harvest treatments on wildlife use, with a focus on moose, within the McLeod Lake Indian Band Traditional Territory, located north of Prince George, BC. This project will examine wildlife species and their use of the various treatments, plant abundance, diversity […]

The proposed research will review and evaluate the renewable energy options available for both energy production and carbon dioxide mitigation in the Columbia Valley and how to implement the preferred solution at the community level. The research aims to review relevant academic literature and Canadian case studies, consult with local stakeholders, provide quantitative analysis (e.g., […]

A PhD student from the IMDEA Nanoscience research institute in Spain will travel to Canada for an internship at the University of British Columbia. This internship will initiate a new collaboration to develop materials, methods, and devices for detecting a protein malfunction in white blood cells that reflects the emergence of the neurodegenerative disease, amyotrophic […]

The manipulation of gene activity in microalgae (cyanobacteria) offers the possibility of producing energy and materials directly from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, contributing directly to more holistic modes of food production, innovative bioproducts and reliable bioenergy solutions that reduce human carbon emissions. Despite their recognized potential, it has proven challenging to develop scalable genetic […]
