Using geographic information systems (GIS) software and existing radiometric thermal orthomosaics, automate the process of identifiying and locating areas of cold water refugia in salmon-bearing streams and rivers in BC.

This is the first time that leading edge technologies are being put together: a microwave (MW) treatment process, a struvite crystallizer and an anaerobic digester, as a total manure treatment system for typical dairy farm operations. The new 915 MHz microwave unit will provide efficient nutrient solubilization and the resulting solution is suitable for generating […]

This project will design and test a new privacy-preserving, attack-resilient cybersecurity system for 5G networks using Federated Learning (FL), an approach where multiple devices can train models together without sharing sensitive data. The goal is to improve protection against cyberattacks such as denial-of-service and model poisoning, which threaten the reliability of modern mobile services like […]

The proposed geological research project is collaboration between UBC and industry sponsors to evaluate the nature of metallic resources in NW Turkey. Undeveloped concentrations of gold, silver and copper occur in the study region; these occurrences are being actively explored by the partner organizations. In the interest of the partner companies this research project focuses […]

The proposed research project is around re conducting feasibility studies on the purification and conditioning of industrial hemicellulosic C5 sugars from a number of potentially commercial wheat straw liquor fractions. The research will propose experiments where data for the ultimate evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysis vs. a selected comparative list of acid hydrolysis can be included. […]

The main obj ective of this project is to design a proper algoritlun for analyzing COPD patient’s sleep data as an important feature in patients treatment procedure. The data would be gathered by a novel wrist wearable actigraph with high accuracy technology. The wearable wristactigraph will allow more reliable data collection because the subjects can […]

Through directed interviews and exit questionnaires information about baseline education levels associated with academic preparedness and skills training will be analyzed to determine what type of support is lacking in the Natural Gas development. The interviews will take place throughout the Monteny Region of NE British Columbia region to assist with Liquid Natural Gas development. […]

This project will develop a real-time Artificial Intelligence based system that accurately estimates 3D skeletal pose from monocular video of dogs and reliably classifies fundamental behaviors to support veterinary health monitoring and behavioral assessment applications. Recent research has demonstrated significant progress in automated animal behavior recognition. The intersection of computer vision, animal behavior analysis, and […]

Malaspina Labs Inc. develops algorithms for enhancing speech in extremely noisy audio signals for real-time applications such as hearing aids and mobile devices. Many classical approaches to speech enhancement are not applicable to these domains because of severe hardware and psychoacoustics constraints such as far-field, single microphone use cases (no beamforming),

Medical marijuana describes the legal use of cannabis plants for treating health-related issues. In Canada, there are currently about 40,000 medical marijuana users, and this number is expected to increase by over 1000% during the next decade. The large majority of patients use medical marijuana for its psychological effects, such as for anxiety, depression, pain […]

The project is part of a thesis that investigates logic of classification embedded in advanced data analytics and automated decision-making tools (and, now “AI”), implemented to determine Canada’s temporary resident visa applicants, which involves sorting applicants for risk, inadmissibility, ineligibility, and illegality.

Through this project, interns will support organizations and initiatives advancing climate finance and social entrepreneurship in the Victoria and British Columbia ecosystem.
