L2M- GreenLith- Using Cellulose Beads to capture Lithium to recycle batteries

Every technology today, from phones to EVs, rely heavily on lithium-ion batteries, which account for more than 90% of the world grid market. While these batteries make us independent of fossil fuels, we must remember that lithium is a finite resource, hence making it crucial for maintaining a secure Lithium supply and ensuring proper disposal […]

Self-supervised Representation Learning via Self-Evolvable Random Projections

Self-supervised representation learning (SSRL) has advanced considerably by exploiting the transformation invariance assumption under artificially designed data augmentations. While augmentation-based SSRL algorithms push the boundaries of performance in computer vision and natural language processing, they are often not directly applicable to other data modalities, and can conflict with application specific data augmentation constraints. This project […]

Satellite image enhancement & crop classification

Our research project focuses on monitoring crops using satellite images. To address the problem, we leverage a fast-growing field of graph signal processing (GSP), which expands upon traditional signal processing techniques such as Fourier transform and wavelets to accommodate the graph domain. Specifically, we propose to unroll a designed graph-based algorithm into an interpretable feed-forward […]

Does forest age affect wildlife habitat use in coastal temperate rainforests?

Forestry directly modifies wildlife habitat, but how can informed, science-based management decisions be made without an adequate understanding of how different species will be affected? In the Central Coast of British Columbia, decades of industrial forestry have converted many stands of old-growth forest to second growth, creating networks of roads and cut blocks of varied […]
