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.

In this project, a novel torque measurement technique based on piezoelectric sensors will be proposed to overcome the constraints posed by traditional methods such as strain gauges, magnetic pickups etc. Specially designed disks which are connected to the sensor will be mounted on the shaft. The proposed method will be used to compare relative twist […]

Nature Bee is a Canadian-based company creating microplastic-free, sustainable cleaning products. As we scale, we are looking to strengthen our digital marketing efforts—particularly our email marketing, retention strategies, and performance analytics across channels. This internship project will focus on developing a robust, evidence-based email marketing strategy using Klaviyo, alongside reviewing paid ads performance to improve […]

A hydrometallurgical process for the production of niobium and tantalum oxide from a primary mineral resource and by product of a tin smelting slag is proposed. This process comprises dissolution of the concentrate and slag with the mixture of acids, following by purification and precipitation process. XPS do not have any background in hydrometallurgical recovery […]

Digital technologies and practices—including social networking—are now pervasive and have been adopted society-wide. This creates new possibilities for engagement and interaction among academic professionals, research partners, collaborators, stakeholders, students, and additional members of the public. This project focuses on continuing to advance the research, analysis, and engagement of the Canadian Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) […]

Every growing season, farmers face a race against time. Pests, disease, and drought can damage crops in days — but current drone and satellite tools often take 1–2 days to process data. By then, the opportunity to act may already be gone. Chimera One is building a “real-time brain” for drones. Instead of sending images […]

Hip fractures exert a profound toll on the independence and quality of life of older people, and over 95% are due to falls. Over 2000 hip fractures occur annually in hospitals in Canada. Wearable hip protectors are a promising method for preventing hip fractures, but patient compliance in wearing traditional garment-based hip protectors averages below […]
