The Outdoor Recreation Council of British Columbia identifies that there is a need for an analysis of the value that outdoor recreation brings to British Columbians. The Intern will work on collating and reviewing existing socio-economic studies of the outdoors and identify gaps in order to lay the foundation for a future comprehensive multi-faceted socio-economic […]

COVID-19 has reinforced the importance of Sanctuary’s technology for enabling remote telework with crucial applications in care and food production as well as many other industry verticals. As the technology platform centers around a General Purpose Robot (GPR), the importance of understanding tasks through a general lens allows for the appropriate prioritization of commercial deployments […]

As chronic pain affects a large portion of the population, caregivers cannot locate the optimum pain site, there is a demand for the development of a pain scanner device to provide accurate information regarding the areas of pain. During this internship, a Patient Response Module (PRM) used by the patient to provide information about the […]

WB-EMS exercise is an alternative method to traditional exercise which improves strength and endurance. Currently, it is unclear how much fatigue is produced following one session of WB-EMS exercise and how long it takes for muscles to recover. Additionally, WB-EMS exercise can use a range of frequencies for electrical stimulation (1-100 Hz), but it is […]

Heat management in semiconducting nanomaterials requires the design of engineered artificial structures, known as metamaterials, where thermal properties can be tuned almost at will by microstructural modifications. Testing a broad range of nanostructures for the particular device applications, with predictive behavior, is a grand challenge especially because of the difficulties associated with the experimental synthesis […]

Emerging my previous research with BC Cancer Agency is the notion of care coordination, a fundamental component of supportive care. Care coordination is an approach to care that attends to the unique needs of patients from the time of diagnosis through treatment and beyond across the following domains: practical, family (relationships), emotional, spiritual, physical, social, […]

In response to the vast amount of interest in the North Shore pertaining to intergenerational initiatives, this project seeks to bridge community agencies academic research to provide tangible tools and resources to broaden the awareness of activities connecting different generations in the North Shore to actively contribute to reducing social isolation and loneliness, while enhancing […]

During the intended internship, the industry partner aims to develop machinery for the niche tool grinding sector that can potentially boost current industry technology. This machinery targets immediate launch to market a unique CNC grinding system to be characterized by an unsurpassed flexibility owed to its 14 motion controlled axes, with multiple serial manipulator robots […]

In this research, we will be identifying the factors that affect retention of nurses in the rural areas, and particularly we will be exploring how such factors including the organizational culture, and the academic preparation of the nurses affect the retention of nurses in the rural areas. It is the objective of this research to […]

Blockchains have evolved from an obscure technology powering bitcoin to a multi-billion- dollar research area. From the financial tech industry, healthcare, digital identities, and government services, blockchains are touted as a revolutionary new mechanism for communication and transactions. As popularity in blockchain technology increases, many are left in the dark as to how this technology […]

Concrete is an abundant material present on earth today. It is believed that cement is the second-most abundant material after soil on planet. Infrastructure expansions and developments are close to impossible in the 21st century. Hence, building durable structures is necessary. Reinforced concrete, being a heterogeneous material, the possibilities of defects are immense. To save […]
