Rapid urbanization has triggered a global surge in the construction of high-rise buildings, necessitating their robust designs to withstand the impact of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and strong winds. In response to this challenge, innovative strategies are being explored to mitigate the deformations and accelerations imparted on high-rise structures by these natural hazards. One […]

The proposed project aims to develop and validate new knowledge, technologies and engineering tools aimed at identifying and mitigating geological hazards encountered on deep mass-mining projects. Deep mass-mining is key for delivering the copper and other critical minerals needed for the transition towards clean energy and electric cars as near-surface resources are depleted. The proposed […]

IsoStage is a high-tech, revolutionary fitness device inspired by the founder’s background in kinesiology and personal interest in strength training and body building. The idea emerged from the realization that there is a clear absence of devices or convenient methods catering to overcoming isometrics (OI) training – a technique that has incredible potential to build […]

Our innovative technology overcomes skin barriers, enabling efficient epidermal and dermal delivery of macromolecules (HA) through a pain-free, needle-free topical application. Therefore, we achieve better hydration with more long lasting. We keep healthy skin (hydrating and plumping, and can fade fine lines) in one step. This technology has great potential for commercialization and it may […]

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the occurrence of blood clots in the deep veins of the lower legs, occurs in 10 million people annually and leads to death in 1 out of 4 people globally. The risk for developing DVT increases exponentially with age, two-thirds of all patients are >60 years of age. Post thrombotic […]

The project focuses on creating and marketing a sustainable insulation foam made of pulp wood, replacing traditional materials like polyurethane and expanded polystyrene. This eco-friendly substitute aligns with the global demand for sustainable products, particularly in the building and insulation sectors.

Globally, neurological conditions are the second highest cause of death and the leading cause of disability, affecting 40% of the population to some extent, a number expected to double in the next two decades. The vast landscape of neurological disorders are combated with various approaches: pharmacological, therapeutic, and surgery; however, the WHO warns that with […]

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

This project aims to explore the obstacles and barriers that rowing clubs in British Columbia face when adopting electric outboard motors for their boats. This research will involve interviews with club managers, directors, coaches, and/or athletes to understand why and how they decide to adopt these electric motors, as well as what supports they would […]

Machine learning (ML) has become an indispensable tool in the mining industry, significantly enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring safety, and optimizing resource management. Its ability to process and analyze large datasets is pivotal in facilitating informed decision-making and reducing operational costs. This project leverages data analytics to augment mining operations planning, with two primary objectives: 1. […]

A membraneless electrolyzer, as the name suggests, eliminates the requirement of the membrane, and a microchannel flow-based separation of the gas products is attained to obtain pure hydrogen. Unlike PEMWE, membraneless electrolyzers have fewer components consisting of a microchannel encompassing a pair of electrodes, thereby showcasing high resiliency and increased operational lifetime. This translates to […]

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor survival upon detection. Pancreatic ducts are channels responsible for secreting pancreatic juices into the small intestines to aid in digestion. Pancreatic duct cancers account for up to 80% of the total pancreatic cancers, and current treatment are not efficacious to control the […]
