Among renewable technologies, wind energy offers some of the lowest levelized costs of energy in Canada and therefore holds significant potential to contribute to the nation’s clean energy transition. However, the large-scale deployment of wind energy in wind farms presents new challenges that are not encountered with standalone turbines. When downstream turbines operate in the […]

Secwépemc Fisheries Commission (SFC) currently relies on a semi-automated system that requires biologists and technicians to manually review video footage to confirm fish counts. This process is time-consuming, delays reporting, and limits access to real-time information. The interns will develop an automated fish-counting tool that uses computer vision and artificial intelligence (YOLOv2 object detection, ByteTracker, […]

Flax fibers and their composites are known for their mechanical properties comparable to many petroleumbased composites, such as high strength-to-weight ratios, while offering major sustainability advantages as bioderived and renewable materials. However, the natural fibers’ susceptibility to moisture uptake and degradation currently limits their use in many structural applications. Plastination presents a promising approach to […]

This project explores a new workflow for creating adaptive music for video games and other interactive media. Today, most interactive music relies on pre-recorded audio segments, which limits flexibility and requires composers to manually prepare a large number of variations and transitions. Our research takes a different approach by working with MIDI, a digital data […]

Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in Canada. While many patients live long lives with treatment, some develop incurable disease that spreads to the bones. When this happens, survival drops sharply and patients often face severe pain, broken bones, and serious complications such as spinal cord damage. Bone changes caused by prostate cancer […]

Lululemon develops and markets athletic apparel including women’s bras. Some women experience difficulty finding the appropriate bra to achieve adequate support without discomfort [1]. Lululemon is experienced in tissue biomechanics models of the breast including measurement of tissue movement, forces and accelerations in an effort to better understand the complex issues around bra performance. Nevertheless, […]

This project develops a unified multimodal sensory analytics framework to monitor remote aquatic ecosystems using video, sonar, and environmental sensors. By combining these complementary data sources, the system can operate continuously across a range of challenging conditions such as low visibility, night-time, or remote locations with limited infrastructure. The project is a collaboration between Simon […]

Textile waste accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions while millions of tonnes of jackets, clothes and backpacks end up in landfills every year. New gear manufacturing impacts the environment through production and distribution cycles, through the mining, synthesis and processing of raw materials, and through microplastic, chemical and dye discharge into the environment. But […]

The City of Langley is in the process of establishing the City’s Citizen Assembly, the focus of which will be Transforming Community Safety through Well-being and Resiliency. The structure of the Assembly and its mandate is based on a robust community engagement model centering quantitative and qualitative data and an assessment of effective practices in […]

A manufacturing company that produces Aluminum profiles uses extrusion, cutting, straightening, heat treatment, and coatings processes. The warehouse of the company uses an automated warehouse with a loading/ unloading stacker (crane) and an AGV fleet. The goals of this project which are summarized below are to develop an intelligent digital twin for the warehouse, which […]

Vancouver Cycling Without Age Society is a registered charity and volunteer-powered organisation based in Vancouver that provides recreational trishaw (3-wheeled bikes with a 2-person bench on the front) rides to seniors, and their families. Our goal is to break seniors free from social isolation and loneliness and help them to smile and reconnect with their […]
