The superplastic metal blow forming process involves using air pressure to force a metal sheet at very high temperatures into the shape of a die for the purpose of manufacturing a component part. It has been shown that by subjecting the forming pressure to small pulsations within a range of amplitude and frequency, results in […]

The purpose of this project is to offer low-cost navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles based on automotive radars that can work efficiently in all weather conditions and degraded vision environments. Radar will be utilized to estimate the vehicle’s relative position. The radar solution will be integrated with the inertial navigation system (INS) solution to limit […]

D-Wave is at the forefront of building quantum annealers, which are quantum computing devices that can potentially solve an important class of problems more efficiently than classical computers. One important goal of D-Wave is to claim that they have attained quantum supremacy, which means they have built a machine that can do something that no […]

This research project proposes an approach to address the environmental impact of the fashion industry. The objective is to prolong the lifespan of end-of-life clothing by transforming them into non-woven fabric through recycling and studying the resulting material for possible new applications. This process involves shredding discarded clothes and analyzing the resultant material for potential […]

This research cluster, a joint initiative between the Sorensen Lab at UBC and the Morin Lab at SFU with a number of key partners, involves a multidisciplinary approach to better understand the role of genetic changes in individual types of pediatric cancer, and how we might use this information to design better treatments for these […]

One of the sustainability challenges of the tourism sector is that, while there is growing understanding that volume alone is not a determinant of balanced tourism development, the standard indicators used to measure, track and report tourism sector performance are volume-based, i.e., number of arrivals/overnight stays. This issue results in policies, budgets, and strategies that […]

The practice of mining creates visible and invisible legacies on lands and livelihoods. In Canada, the mining industry has left a large footprint on the landscape, whose recovery is required through ecological restoration actions. However, current restoration practices face the pressure of adapting to a changing climate while also taking into account the relationships people […]

The project consists of developing a device for degrading a harmful toxin produced during algal bloom in water supply. The cyanotoxin mycrocystin-LR is one of the major toxins produced by certain cyanobacteria that are present in large quantities in microalgal or cyanobacterial blooms. The benefits of this project for Naturia Technologies will be important since […]

Le projet vise à développer un nouveau vecteur de transport pour cibler et éliminer les cellules cancéreuses de manière précise et efficace. Notre approche consiste à concevoir et fabriquer un peptide catalyseur-médicament doté de propriétés radiothérapeutiques ou chimiothérapeutiques. Les cellules cancéreuses ont développé différents mécanismes de résistance afin diminuer l’accumulation intracellulaire des médicaments dont la […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project seeks to fully develop Copsys Intelligent Digital Skin (CIDS) technology, elevating it from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to market readiness. CIDS, a novel paint-based digital technology, aims to revolutionize corrosion and asset integrity management across various industries. It integrates impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) within a coating, marking a significant innovation in […]

Les architectures et techniques d’apprentissage qui ont mené à la création des Large Language Models (LLM) sont la cause de leur succès et de leurs défauts. En effet, ils sont surprenamment performants, apprenants et faciles à utiliser, mais leurs erreurs sont très difficiles à expliquer et contrôler. Étant donné que le développement actuel et futur […]
