Successful partnerships between non-profit organizations and funders are fundamental for organizations’ abilities to concentrate on their mission, and for founders to see their philanthropic investments align with their values and make real impacts. Matching founders and organizations has traditionally been done informally through personal connections, networks, and expensive prospecting software and databases. Just like a […]

The aim of the internship is to develop strategies for commercialization of radical, generic technologies developed by Exro in the area of clean technology. They have developed and patented. a variable input electrical generator that could be very efficiently used in producing electricity for undetermined electricity generation levels from clean tech sources like wind turbine […]

– South Asians make up 60% of Canada’s immigrant population, with Punjabis being the fastest-growing subpopulation of this demographic in BC. Since many Punjabi women have low health literacy skills and face cultural stigmas around mental health, community-based health promotion (CBHP) programs are needed. However, such programs typically focus on supporting affluent White groups. This […]

With over 80% of the Canadian population dwelling in urban centers, design for sustainable urban environments is tantamount to the health and happiness of 21st century Canadians. The City of Victoria (CoV) would like to incorporate green infrastructure into their integrated storm water management plan. Over the past four years, nine rain gardens have been […]

The research will help the partner organization to improve upon the current offerings […]

Personalised cancer treatment is an emerging method of treating cancer that acknowledges that no two tumours are the same. This aproach aims to identify targetable proteins and predict a patients response to treatment to optimise treatment outcomes. However, additional biomarkers and drug targets need to be discovered to further improve treatment. Exosomes, are small extracellular […]

The goal is to understand the behavior of cryptocurrency chains when fraud amounts are transferred from the MasterCard network to cryptocurrency exchanges. Based on this understanding, we need to come up with an Index score or Leading indicators of certain pattern that indicates high fraudulent activity in the MasterCard network. We need to build such […]

Heart-rate variability (HRV) may be used to index important aspects of brain control of the heart during emotional regulation. Yoga may enhance athletic performance, in part, by facilitating emotional regulation. Lululemon Athletica is interested in developing biofeedback devices designed to further enhance yoga related emotional regulation and for use to educate both their in-store work-force […]

The proposed project will use machine learning to predict vegetation biomass across the state of California using climate variables (precipitation, temperature). This will create a map of what vegetation is expected to be in a given climate regime. This modeled vegetation distribution will be compared to a map of observed vegetation to identify regions where […]

The project aims to model hydrogen flame/wall interaction in an in-cylinder-like condition using CFD tools and validate the model by in-house experiments on the existing test-bench at SFU, to study different mechanism and structure of the air entrainment and mixing mechanisms associated with it, and quenching distance, in different impingement wall distances, ignition source distance. […]

British Columbia has used the approach of capturing and moving amphibians that would otherwise be destroyed or negatively affected by human project activities to an alternative release site as a standard to conserving herpetofauna over the last decade; referred to as mitigation translocation or salvaging. The use of mitigation translocation to offset direct and indirect […]

Keeping the lights on for over 4 million people across the province takes a lot of talented people doing many different jobs, from working deep in a generating station, atop a power pole, or behind a desk. We’re working on upgrading transmission lines, building new substations, and investing in our hydroelectric generation facilities. It’s our […]
