Transportation services, ranging from public buses to private logistics fleets, could benefit significant from the introduction of Rogers’ 5G wireless networks. This project has a primary objective to support UBC’s efforts to achieve its 2050 emissions reductions goals, with an emphasis on a reduction of GHG and air pollutant emissions from transportation services.

The aim of this project is to improve simultaneous EEG-fMRI techniques through the use of constrained principal component analysis (CPCA). The main problem with combining EEG measures and fMRI measures is that recording EEG in the MR scanner always injects noise into the data. CPCA partitions the variability of the data into systematic and error […]

Ubiquitous deployment of networked cameras has boosted the prevalence of video analytics. Leveraging machines to automatically analyze captured videos has become the driving force behind a variety of contemporary applications. However, it is known to be resource-hungry with highly dynamic demands, which mismatches the existing monolithic cloud service deployment with coarse-grained resource allocation. Recent advances […]

Hydrogen is a promising vehicle fuel that emits no greenhouse gases at the end use and can be produced from a variety of renewable and low-carbon sources. However, to provide a useful vehicle range it has to be stored at very high pressures, with maximum pressures as much as 800 times atmospheric pressure. Fuel stations […]

The research outlined in this project is intended to highlight the real world impact cryptocurrencies have on our climate, if there is any. It is meant to evaluate the carbon footprint released by crypto-mining as a whole, and against the benefit it provides to our economy. This evaluation will be used to determine whether any […]

The organization is HUB Cycling and this project is specifically for their Bike Friendly Building (BFB) Consulting Services Department. HUB Cycling engaged a Capilano University Business student in 2021 to develop a marketing strategy to attract more BFB Consulting clients, which is being implemented in 2022. There is an anticipated significant increase in clients that […]

Porphyrins are useful bioinspired molecules that interact with both light and electrical energy in unique ways. Using a recently developed method to attach them to surfaces, we are applying these molecules to materials for safer surfaces and renewable energy. The first application is to safely prevent unwanted microbial growth in hospital settings, food packaging, and […]

Vidigami, the sponsor company, is developing tools to create digital yearbooks for schools – organizing personal photo collections of students, parents, and staff. Current technologies have made it easy for everybody to have a digital camera or simply digitalize their hardcopy versions of their photos. However, this huge amount of data makes it hard to […]
