The intent of this research is to increase accessibility for educational opportunities and identify best practices to weave Indigenous Ways of Knowing in Earth science educational resources in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. I hope to achieve this by 1) researching existing resources and their accessibility in B.C. and SK; 2) determining how readily applicable these […]

Recently, principles gleaned from research on learning have been applied to change people’s brains. Specifically, there is evidence that how the brain communicates can be changed through the application of positive and negative reinforcement, a concept known as neurofeedback. Importantly, researchers claim that by changing how the brain communicates, neurofeedback can change behaviour and reduce […]

L’objectif du projet est de comprendre l’influence de caractéristiques du locuteur (émotion, troubles mentaux etc) sur l’organisation du dialogue. Les études actuelles se heurtent notamment à l’absence d’analyseur discursif automatique pour le dialogue. L’échange avec Pr. G. Carenini répond à cet enjeu : son expertise sur l’analyse discursive, les architectures neuronales et l’apprentissage distant, alliée […]

Quantum computing (QC) is expected to deliver the next leap in information technology, with anticipated impacts as significant as the development of silicon integrated circuits and the Internet. Photonic QC provides the advantage of a scalable platform based on silicon manufacturing. Industry has recognized the potential of a purely photonic approach, as being pursued by […]

The proposed project aims to develop and verify new knowledge, technologies and engineering tools aimed at identifying and mitigating geological hazards encountered on deep cave mining projects. The research will integrate laboratory testing, mine data and advanced computer modelling to better understand the underlying influencing factors. The research will see four interns working closely with […]

Introduction: Family caregivers for palliative and end-of-life patients play a critical role in providing care in the home. Nearly 75% of people express a wish to be cared for and die at home. However, for caregivers who support this goal, there is a significant gap in adequate and effective support. Patient-oriented research recognizes the importance […]

Serpentinites are a type of rock that are reactive with CO2 and convert it to solid minerals that are stable on geologic time scales; this process is known as carbon mineralization. These rocks are often associated with economic mineral deposits in Canada and elsewhere, and mines at these locations can offset, or even have a […]

Due to a lack of legitimate case studies exploring the same-day delivery, this internship will help by adding significantly to the body of applied research in this new trend. Courier industry can revamp the practices of “brick and mortar” retailers by convincing them to cover the cost for their customers in return for value-added service. […]

Nurses and care workers have long struggled to provide high quality care for people with dementia. Struggling to connect is one of the main causes of responsive behaviours and staff injuries within hospitals and long term care homes. Staff must be empowered to deliver individualized care with a focus on what matters to the older […]

The industry partner, Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solution. As part of this project, Metafor is building a product feature that monitors computer and network activities and looks for signs of anomalies. This is an important problem as anomalies are usually associated with abnormal user or system behaviors that can […]
