Worksport has recently launched TerraVis®, a photovoltaic (PV), folding tonneau cover, that stores solar energy into a bed-mounted Lithium batteries. The solar tonneau cover will incorporate high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels whose cells are modular, so any dead ones can be swapped out. A battery bank installed in the bed will house modular Li-ion batteries that […]

Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

The Flu annually causes hundreds of thousand peoples’ death and has brought an enormous loss in Canadian economy. SARS-CoV-2 has strictly reduced the global economic development, and also affected the regular traveling and daily life in Canada. As we know, the influenza and SARS-CoV-2 share the similar symptoms in many aspects. Developing a rapid and […]

La plupart des travaux actuels sur la détection des intrusions se concentre sur la détection et l’analyse des attaques. Peu de travaux ont été réalisés sur l’analyse du comportement des attaquants eux-mêmes. Ce type d’analyse, appelée attribution, est important car il permet de remonter à la source de l’attaque, caractériser l’intention et répondre adéquatement à […]

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source are contributing to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a products of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emission. One of the commercially available electric heaters […]

Modern smartphone cameras commonly employ multi-image (or burst photography) for tasks related to image super-resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging. This project is focused on developing novel multi-image techniques that leverage the power of recently proposed neural implicit functions. Neural implicit functions (NIFs) are a new way to represent images not as a 2D grid of pixels […]

The SIMBA (Small Intestine MicroBiome Aspiration) capsule is an ingestible capsule designed to collect samples from the small intestine. The safety and efficacy of this device have been demonstrated in healthy volunteers. The aim of this research and development project for the intern student is to develop culturing techniques that are optimized to better characterize […]

Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy storage devices that allow electricity to be stored for later use and play an essential role in utilizing intermit renewable energy. This collaborative project between Dr. Jian Liu’s group at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Atlas Power Generation, a Vancouver-based clean tech company, will develop a high-energy, safe, and […]

Research project “Prophet” aims to build a demand forecasting pipeline that collects data and applies machine learning models to make accurate predictions of future demands under unstable scenarios. In particular, this project will focus on efficient forecast of Unilever’s base SKUs and involve model development based on time-series, machine learning and possibly combinations of the […]

The objective of the research is to validate and enhance production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymers from hemp stems, agricultural waste. Two interns will carry out the proposed work to upcycling hemp stems into the biopolymers with advanced biotechnologies of fermentation and PHA synthesis. The final biopolymers produced from hemp stems will be characterized for physical, […]

The aim of this project is to investigate and develop a 3D dashboard and protocol conversion mechanism for monitoring of equipment/devices in remote facilities. The 3D dashboard allows TriVision’s employees to take corrective actions when needed and gives them the visual effect of the layout and equipment of the facility for better interaction. The proposed […]

Diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives are often introduced into organizations without research, social change frameworks, or involving people directly impacted by the initiatives. In the absence of a thoughtful theory of change, these initiatives may not support the intended outcomes, or worse, lead to adverse effects on social development and well-being. This research asserts that […]
