Being a bio-process, the quality of yeast-fermented bread is highly dependent on several factors such as temperature, static time, and humidity as well as on the type of flour. As such an active control/feedback strategy is often needed to monitor and optimize the baking process. Many studies have focused on post-baking the assessment of the […]

Addressing the harmful effects of climate change presents an urgent challenge for society. The intern will assess the amount of carbon storage within the forests of southwestern British Columbia in order to facilitate carbon storage accounting. To do this, the intern will conduct forest inventories to measure the diameter and height and identify the species […]

In this project, we aim to develop a secure communication system using cutting-edge quantum technology. Specifically, we will develop the existing Measurement Device Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) system built by Quantized Technologies Inc. (QTi) to add Optical Side Channel for Classical Heralding. Our intern will conduct a thorough literature review, assess available equipment, integrate […]

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 […]

Leveraging the groundbreaking research of Dr. Sabrina Leslie and her team, this project represents a significant stride towards mastering the analysis of mRNA within Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP). Building upon our novel findings, published in ACS Nano (2021), which introduced the first quantitative imaging technique for RNA-LNP formulations, we aim to precisely quantify mRNA molecules in […]

Blue-O Technology Inc has developed proprietary samples that have demonstrated antiviral activity against HIV-1 and influenza. Blue-O Technology Inc has purified these proprietary samples to isolate different subunit components. These subunit components will be used by the intern determine which components have anti-HIV or anti-influenza activity. Initial experiments will be undertaken in cell culture systems […]

The purpose of this research is to conduct a baseline assessment of the food system in Prince Rupert, BC. This will be accomplished through the inventory and analysis of local food assets. Defined as the local food infrastructure that maintains food secure communities, food assets include grocery stores, community gardens, student nutrition programs, and food […]

The Tsawout Nation has partnered with a local seaweed farming company, Cascadia Seaweed, to employ a suite of techniques for both marine monitoring and mariculture within a recently-established Marine Protected Area (QEN’T) in their traditional territory. A primary goal and next step for QEN’T is to monitor ecologically and/or culturally important marine animals, and to […]

The Ph.D. intern will be involved in the engineering scale-up of an innovative mixed-reactant fuel cell technology pioneered at the University of British Columbia. The proposed technology provides a simpler, cheaper and more compact design compared to conventional fuel cells. The partner organization, Mantra Energy Alternatives, will benefit greatly from the proposed project because it […]
