The City of Victoria is working to implement infrastructure to support the adoptions of EVs. A key challenge are ‘garage orphans’, residents that live with multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) without dedicated parking stalls per residence. Strata-governed residences also face various challenges in provisioning EV charging infrastructure. In order to support residents’ EV adoption, this project […]

The Rural Resilience Research Internship program at Selkirk Innovates aims to provide research support to government and non-profit partners across the Kootenay and Boundary regions of British Columbia.

This project will accelerate heavy mineral separation and analysis and remove the need to involve toxic heavy liquids in the mineral separation procedure. It will accelerate data production by developing new analytical procedures. It will also develop new ways of correlating the composition of detrital minerals to the presence of ore bodies in stream catchments. […]

This project titled “3D-Printed Biomimetic Sensors: Integration of Hydrogel Networks into Biobased Soft Robotics” addresses a key challenge in the field of soft robotics: the development of sustainable, flexible pressure sensors that mimic the tactile feedback of the human nervous system. As robotic systems increasingly operate in unstructured environments and interact with biological tissue, there […]
