Plants face various pathogen challenges. Pathogen infection can not only trigger local defence responses to restrict pathogen growth at the primary infection sites, it can also induce plants to generate mobile signals, which move to the uninfected tissue to protect them from further pathogen attack. This primed immunity is called systemic acquired resistance (SAR). A […]

FUTURi is looking to launch its first product later this year, and is looking for business students with an interest in tech/sustainability to assist with the go-to-market strategy.

Flood control structures such as floodgates and dikes have created numerous small-scale barriers for Pacific salmon in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia restricting access to historical fish habitat. Floodplains were historically used as overwintering habitats by juvenile coho and Chinook salmon, making them critical to the growth and survival of these species. Lack of […]

Enormous quantities of machine-readable data, measured in many terabytes, are readily available. The sources include the world-wide web, publicly available databases, raw experimental data, unannotated genomic sequences generated by biochemical tools, and so on. However, data does not necessarily equal useful information. More often than not, the data has to be intelligently processed, interpreted, transformed, […]

Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling is one of the most powerful tools in modern synthetic chemistry, with is collaborative discovery recognised with the 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This class of reactions has had a huge impact on the way in which chemists think about building fine chemicals, because it allows for clipping of two molecules together […]

Haida Tide Cultural Tours is an Indigenous-owned and operated ecotourism company based in Masset, BC, Canada. This project aims to upgrade operations and strengthen the overall business infrastructure of Haida Tide through a two pronged approach of first upscaling business operations Haida Tide and second providing training opportunities for both our own staff and other […]

The proposed project at Brokol Enterprises Inc. involves two interns working on different but complementary aspects of the Brokol app, which aims to reduce household food waste by helping users manage their groceries more efficiently. Shin Tan (Intern 1) will focus on improving the app’s technological features, enhancing existing functionalities, and developing new ones to […]

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

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 […]
