Patkau Architects is an architecture and design research studio based in Vancouver, Canada. Patkau’s business faces many of the same industry challenges that other local companies struggle with, such as: the fluid economy, changing tastes in style, supply chain delays, the Vancouver housing crisis, environmental sustainability, and social issues, such as inclusivity, diversity, equity, and […]

This project aims at upgrading and automating some of the existing methods used at Myant to manufacture, assemble, and test smart textiles. The candidate will use their engineering knowledge to assess the needs and opportunities for improvements, to design theoretical solutions, to prototype and test these solutions, and finally to prepare an industry-grade version of […]

Près de 50 % des faillites d’entreprises canadiennes seraient attribuables à des lacunes en matière de gestion et de décisions de la direction de l’entreprise. Si on reconnaît qu’une organisation et ses résultats seront au reflet de son équipe de direction, la littérature demeure sans réponse en regard des signes distinctifs des équipes de direction […]

This project is an online multiplayer video game for Virtual Reality (VR) that is inspired by escape room themes and puzzles. The project is going to be developed using Unreal Engine 5 which is one of the newest and most powerful technologies that allows the team to implement more complex ideas and scenarios that were […]

We are building the next generation of operations management software. In recent years there have been many companies that digitize forms to eliminate paper. Now, OPAS Mobile is changing how companies manage their HSEQ, fleet, materials, timecards and more by integrating everything into one extremely easy to use platform. Combining real-time data from the field […]

Seismic techniques are used to image the structure of the subsurface and expand our knowledge about the geological condition of the underground. The information acquired from these techniques is employed in domains such as the petroleum industry and clean energy development. Seismic studies also play a vital role in geotechnical projects and civil engineering. The […]

In the proposed project, the intern will develop circuits through simulation for broadband impedance matching for high-frequency surface-wave radar antennas transmitting at HF frequencies. This will allow the range resolution of transmitting antennas to be improved so that targets, as well as ocean surface wave and current parameters, may be respectively better detected and estimated. […]

Canadian salmon production is the fourth largest farmed salmon industry in the world. Farmed salmon is British Columbia’s (BC) largest agri-food export with a total economic output of $1.6 billion annually, which represents 60% of total production in Canada. Approximately, 90,000 tonnes of farmed salmon are produced in BC every year which in turn supports […]

L’intérêt de la recherche réside dans le fait qu’une entreprise comme Certex envoie à l’enfouissement entre 750 et 1000 tonnes de rebuts de textile annuellement. Les auteurs Stall–Meadows et al. (2012) affirment que près de 100% de ce type de rebuts pourrait être recyclé.13 L’objet de cette étude consiste à évaluer les perspectives de défibrer […]

L’objectif général du projet, divisé en trois stages, vise l’amélioration des procédés d’assemblage et de calibration des instruments ICOS pour la mesure précise de gaz jusqu’à des concentrations aussi faibles que des parties par milliards (PPT). Les deux premiers stages ont pour but d’améliorer les outils de calibration des systèmes ICOS, plus spécifiquement en utilisant […]

The world’s stringent need to transition to a low-carbon industrial economy is more pressing than ever. It is imperative to innovate, develop, and implement revolutionary technologies that use low-carbon-intensity energy generation sources and have an intrinsic negative GHG emission factor while being economically profitable. The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to fuels and chemicals coupled with […]

Conventional camera sensors record three color channels: red, green and blue. In this project we will investigate computational photography algorithms for cameras that record a near-infrared channel (NIR) in addition to RGB. This channel is particularly useful for biometric imaging and holds great potential in consumer imaging applications as well. The key challenge in simultaneously […]
