Hydrogen will play a key role in Canada’s transition toward low-carbon energy due to the possibility of carbon-neutral production, its clean combustion, and high energy content per unit mass. As hydrogen is typically stored at high pressure (700 bar or more), rapid compression during refueling can generate substantial heat, which can cause pressure overshoot, underfilling, […]

This research project aims to develop a next-generation hip protector insert for hip protector pants that is more hygienic, discreet, and wearable than current market options. Traditional foam-based insert/protectors are often bulky, uncomfortable, and visually unappealing; factors that reduce user compliance, especially among older cognitive adults. Our goal is to find a design for a […]

Classroom response tools such as the ‘clicker’ are devices that students use in class to answer multiple-choice questions. Many studies have shown that clickers can lead to increased learning when properly used. Learning Catalytics is a new web-based tool marketed by Pearson that is meant to replace clickers. While Learning Catalytics offers more features than […]

The Clear Seas Indigenous Internship Program aims to provide support to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities across Canada by helping them build the necessary internal capacity to research and protect their territories through a re-imagined internship program. Clear Seas provides mentorship to the interns and uplifts existing internal capacity within Indigenous communities. The Clear […]

This project will bring to the international society a framework for “international-minded” education for business people and industrial entities. Such industrial entities may include ones that aim to start or enhance their international trading businesses, and study-abroad support businesses. The target entities may also include public educational institutions, and federal/state/municipal governmental entities that deal with […]

SunVault Energy Incorporated, a Kelowna, British Columbia based energy technology company, aims to become a significant player within the emerging Canadian solar industry. They have devised a technology, the solar battery, which integrates the energy storage and energy generation capabilities of a stand-alone solar energy system. They view this as potentially a means of lowering […]

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 […]
