As Building Automation Systems (BAS) are becoming a standard in commercial buildings, and additional 3rd party applications can help buildings owners gain insights from their BAS, structured metadata management becomes the key to success. However, as converting traditional sensors naming convention to structured tagging systems is an expensive and time-consuming process, this project aims at […]

Disengagement is not a “steady state” rather it is better conceptualized on a continuum with engagement in some areas as well as disengagement in others (Christenson and Thurlow 2004). The proposed research will explore how issues of access and equity factor into student engagement within the university setting. In particular, this research explicitly examines “push” […]

The Sorensen laboratory-based Childhood Cancer Research Program is specifically focused on elucidating the genetic and biological determinants of the metastatic process in childhood cancer. Metastatic disease remains the single most dominant driver of adverse outcome in most childhood cancers, particularly in childhood sarcomas. Cancer stem cells, malignant cells that share many characteristics with normal stem […]

Silverberry Genomix is a health platform company that is slowly expanding its business to integrate its product into various different systems. Our COVID-19 Impact Risk Reports are being delivered across senior care facilities in order to better equip managers with the tools to control and prevent the pandemic from causing harm to their residents. So […]

This research project aims to improve the quality of life and facilitate the early detection of some health conditions by enabling wearabale devices that have a very small form factor, are highly reliable and provide continuous health tracking and monitoring. The ultra-low-energy consumption of the electronics designed in this project extends the battery longevity of […]

This fall, I will be working at the Arts Club Theatre Company, Western Canada’s largest theatre company, as the Digital Projects Coordinator. I will be working across various departments including marketing, fund development and artistic to develop and produce digital projects for purposes of advertising, and generating revenue that was lost when theatres shut down. […]

Due to COVID everything is moving online very rapidly. In the past where sales were conducted in face-to-face manners, the entire process is now online. We need to improve our onboarding process and online sales ResponsiveAds is building a new SaaS-based business model and would like the strategic analysis of the overall business plan modeling […]

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease characterized by recurrent collapse of the airway during sleep leading to sleep fragmentation and daytime sleepiness. OSA is usually diagnosed based on an overnight sleep study (polysomnogram) which collects detailed physiologic information over the night. OSA patients are also at increased risk of cardiovascular disease such as […]

Glycosidases are an ubiquitous class of proteins (enzymes) which catalyses the hydrolysis of glycoconjugates, and are involved in many physiological processes. However, despite the tremendous potential of glycosidases for both therapeutical and industrial applications, function and structure of the vast majority of glycosidases remains to explore. The main goal of the project is to develop […]

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), located in the knee, is commonly injured during sports. Patients who experience ACL tears often delay or choose to forgo surgery, which can reduce knee stability and alter movement patterns. Knee bracing is a commonly used treatment method to stabilize the knee. A novel method of knee bracing has been […]

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to limit the impacts of climate change requires implementation of CO2 reduction technologies across a wide variety of industries. This research project will develop carbon management and sequestration technologies for reducing CO2 emissions in the mining industry with a focus on diamond mines in Canada, South Africa and Botswana. The […]

Perhaps one of the most tantalizing goals of a coach or trainer is to determine how best to maximize athlete performance. In recent years there has been an explosion in the wealth of data related to athlete training and performance – such as a better understanding of athlete mental health and the impact it has […]
