The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two Master’s students to advance and apply methods for modelling climate policies in transport, a field in which START in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research teams in the country and in which Navius […]

Impacts of increased wildfires and wildfire intensity have impacts that go beyond the initial devastation often shown on the news. Wildfire recovery is a long, difficult, and multi-faceted undertaking, especially within the context of a changing climate. This project is intended to better understand the impacts of wildfire on invasive and native (culturally important) plants. […]

A central venous access device (CVAD) is a thin, silicone tube that a doctor may insert into the vein of a patient to deliver medications directly into their bloodstream. If the patient does not need constant medication, nurses fill the CVAD with salt water or citrate to keep the tube open. This is called ‘locking’ […]

Seleste is developing an app to integrate with our smart glasses hardware. For this project we need interns to help us develop this app which includes two major components. First is the React Native app where interns will develop features like user authentication and improving our database structure. There will also be a big focus […]

We will test the hypothesis that southern resident killer whales have been endangered since the late 1800s when mining, logging, dams, pollution, and water diversion destroyed the Chinook populations that returned in the millions to Oregon and California. We will estimate historic run sizes of Chinook salmon available to northern and southern resident killer whales […]

There are four main objectives for the proposed project: (1) To investigate three techniques of aiding the wet screening process including: (a) inclined screening combined with water jets, (b) sonication, and (c) a combination of those two techniques, to find optimum operating conditions for each technique and allow them to be evaluated and compared. (2) […]

The internship project investigates the market feasibility of a new service/product offering and the existing organizational capacity to enable such a change to occur. Assist with the strategy and business plan development for what form this offering should take shape, either as an intrapreneurial initiative or a separate entity. The project will also adapt and […]

A helical pile is a screw steel pile comprising a small diameter hollow shaft welded with one or multiple helices. It has been widely used to retrofit structures or provide foundation support for infrastructure. The current research and design practice of helical piles have heavily focused on the “capacity”. In contrast, little attention has been […]

Microorganisms have radically shaped Earth’s atmosphere and landscapes. From providing oxygen in the air we breathe to nitrogen in soils for farming, their innumerable ecosystem services have long gone unappreciated and under utilized. Recent advances in DNA sequencing technology – where the letters of an organism’s DNA are read – and computing have revolutionized our […]

This Marketing Project will be undertaken in order to assess current strategies, improve current processes, and brainstorm new strategies. The successful candidate will first be educated on our industry, our project, and our potential clients by the CEO and CTO. The main goal of this project is to strengthen the marketing (including messaging and branding) […]

The knowledge about crop health and irrigation efficiency is highly beneficial for agricultural producers especially when facing challenges arising from climatic pressures. Unfortunately, current solutions designed to effectively manage inputs at a farm are mostly exclusive to large producers because of the operation scale and prohibitive technology cost. We intend to develop a collaborative governance […]
