Robotic experimentation platforms can enable faster materials discovery and optimization through automation, high throughput experimentation and standardization. However, an exhaustive search of a vast materials space with varying compositions, formulations, and processing conditions is prohibitively expensive. Machine learning algorithms are widely used to learn from experiments performed by automated experimentation platforms and suggest the most […]

Wrist fractures are the most common injury treated in the emergency department. The current standard for treating these fractures is realigning the bones and applying plaster or fiberglass cast to maintain position. Most often, plaster casts are used as the primary option and the patient gets a fiberglass cast after the initial few weeks. Although […]

The design of usable public health information systems is critical in areas such as healthcare. In this project an analysis of the usability of a pan-Canadian public health information system will be conducted. The approach will involve application of usability engineering methods to identify issues and areas where the system’s user interface could be modified […]

The Dawson Group is a construction and transportation company that ranges between 600 to 700 employees seasonally – depending on the companies’ workload (awarded projects, seasonality with highway construction, winter snow plowing) and also normal turnover, we have many onboards and offboards in our organization each year. With many employees coming and going, it places […]

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 […]
