This environmental citizenship study loks at how underserved residents understand and influence laws and governance to solve water problems in their communities. The field work was conducted in Cape Town and Accra, a multi-sited approach which draws from activists and legal professionals to consider a broader range of legal rules (human rights, customary law, local […]

This research project will be a sub-component of a more extensive three year project called Gait Rehabilitation Analysis for Amputee Locomotion (GRAAL). The aim of GRAAL is to improve the rehabilitation and follow up of individuals with lower limb amputations (LLAs). The research project I will take part in will utilize gait analysis as a […]

The Nisga’a Business Alliance Corporation is creating a strategy for economic development activities within the Nation and requires innovative business research to facilitate this initiative. As such, this research cluster is comprised of six projects: • Project 1: Commercial Recreation Tenure Investigation • Project 2: Harbour Enhancement Feasibility Study • Project 3: Nisga’a Nation Tourism […]

The dramatic trend of the first decade of the 21st century in the information technology industry was the emergence of society?scale systems: online services such as Google, eBay, iTunes, Yahoo!, Twitter, and Facebook that routinely served millions of simultaneously?connected users. These systems gave rise to entirely new programming models and systems problems: management of the […]

First Nations are developing protocols and web- and mobile-based software tools (i.e. “systems”) to assist them with data management for planning and decision making by Stewardship Offices. These systems are key capacity building tools that will enable First Nations’ participation and leadership in the conservation and responsible use of renewable and non-renewable resources in their […]

Drone technology has recently gained wide-scale acceptance in multiple military and commercial applications, including security surveillance and medicine delivery. In 2017 alone, the market revenue from drones is estimated to be around $6 billion. With this, there is also an emerging need for sophisticated anti-drone technology to detect rogue drones entering secure territories, such as […]

This project is being undertaken as a part of the Gait Rehabilitation Analysis for Amputee Locomotion (GRAAL). GRAAL is a 3-year project focused on the continued rehabilitation of people with lower limb amputations. Through this research I will use gait analysis technology to kinetic measures of gait including ground reaction forces and muscle torque and […]

For nearly fifteen years the graphics pipeline for processing and rendering has been dictated by graphic~ hardware. We propose to explore the possibilities for applications and new data structures opened up by Intel’s multi-core and other hardware projects to allow programmers to redefine the gr::phics pipeline in softv,ar? The University of Victoria Graphics and Games […]

Bi-functional metal oxide electro-catalyst for energy application are a novel area of research with application mainly in energy storage and conversion device. They enable a single device to perform oxidation and reduction reaction subsequently, which reduces the cost and increase the versatility of energy storage and conversion technology such as fuel cell, electrolyser and flow […]

Quaternion Engineering Inc. (QEI) is developing a series of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) optimized to address the growing demand for low cost, turnkey commercial and military solutions. Recent market research has shown an emerging commercial market for UAVs in applications such as small scale surveillance, remote sensing and inspection. As this market emerges there will […]

The generation of functional ?-cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) for cell replacement therapy and disease modeling of diabetes is a strongly investigated area. Recent scientific breakthroughs have enabled derivation of large quantities of human pancreatic ?-like cells in the laboratory, but the protocols are currently not consistent or optimized for cells of various […]

For this project, we propose to integrate the data about Fraser River salmon populations into a multi-species, multi-population database, and develop an interactive data visualization tool that allows fisheries scientists and managers to explore this data at different spatial and temporal scales. The objective of this project is to provide fisheries scientists and managers with […]
