a) Working in collaboration with the Commercial Teams to ensure a customer centric approach on all innovation/renovation projects “own the customer side of the 4Ps” (including but not limited to Listing objectives, List Price recommendations, MSP/FSP, merchandising and shelving objectives) b) Collaborate with Brand partners on the publication of any launch decks to ensure customer […]

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are suitable to bridge the existing mismatch between demand and supply. In current study, borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) is selected due to its advantages. The performance of the BTES can be affected by several factors in different patterns including design, operation, and geological and material properties. Although it has […]

The Advanced Data Analytics Platform for the Transformation (ADAPT) developed herein integrates quality assurance, quality control and Artificial Intelligence techniques to identify trends and relationships in water networks data. The importance of this information for fostering utility communications and business processes is demonstrated through a visualization dashboard built based on ADAPT. These tools will provide […]

e problem to be addressed is if detailed laboratory studies can be designed out to confirm and extend the historical, anecdotal information on the therapeutic/medicinal properties of Kisameet clay (KC). There is much non-scientific information alleging the potent antimicrobial activities of many clay products. In this research proposal we propose to carry out a detailed […]

Healthcare organizations in British Columbia currently lack an eHealth system as a network of multiple data sources to manage EMRs in meaningful ways. To support clinician decision in operational needs, this project will research the usability of a GUI as an EMR summary view in the Canadian healthcare context for both providers and patients and […]

In partnership with the University of Victoria and the Mitacs program, The Good Party is excited to be working with a student from the Gustavson School of Business on a four month project to create a new arm of the company focused on Experiential Marketing and Social Media Management. With a focus on the team’s […]

The project aims to develop a process to design houses using locally sourced materials and labor. This process can be transferrable to other communities in the future when they approach a new housing project in their region. This would be culturally and aesthetically in line with the vernacular. The design will incorporate passive systems that […]

Vancouver’s rental market is Canada’s most expensive. Financial constraints and need for more space often push families outside of the down-town area towards suburban areas. This research intends to suggest a new type of housing likely to increase Vancouver’s retention capabilities towards this type of inhabitants. According to my preliminary research, 14% of new families […]

The work proposed will lead to mechanisms for reducing or eliminating selected Cognitive Biases – automatic, unconscious elements of the human reasoning system known to cause decision errors. While Cognitive Biases have been studied for decades, there has been almost no research into how to reduce or eliminate their effects. The end goal of the […]

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way organizations consume computing power as a service. Infrastructure as a Service allows a company to move away from purchasing computing, networking, and storage resources to purchasing from a service provider in a public cloud. This project will research and develop off-site encrypted virtual machine storage and disaster recovery planning […]

The proposed research is a collaboration between Virtro and SFU’s iVizLab to collaboratively work on ways to understand the processes involved in analyzing and visualizing 3D spatial data. iVizLab’s research focuses on AI based computational models, in this case a data visualization tool that help users analyze 3D spatial data. In creating this user interface, […]

In Canada healthcare is being modernized and transformed through a range of new healthcare information technologies and systems. Applications of information systems such as electronic health records (EHRs), electronic medical decision support and an increasing range of mobile health applications promise to transform and improve healthcare and increase patient safety. However, although such technology has […]
