This project is aimed at understanding evaluating and reviewing gene therapy methodologies used in products in development, assessing the risk and safety and regulatory investigations in different regions of the world. There is limited guidance and regulatory expertise in this area and current drug candidates are being dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the […]

Generation and transmission of ultra-large amounts of energy from renewable resources, such as wind and solar PV power, is on the rise globally. This has unprecedented implication on the operation of modern power systems, including challenges with the natural intermittency of renewables resources, stability, and security of the system following naturally occurring abnormalities. This project […]

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 […]

L’objectif général de ce projet de recherche est d’étudier des approches statistiques et computationnelles pour permettre l’analyse automatique des données structurées et non-structurées dans le contexte de décision péda-gogique et dans le cadre d’un outil tel que Reussito. Afin d’étudier la pertinence de ces approches, le projet se concentrera sur le développement des algorithmes d’analyse […]

The proposed internship project seeks to answer two questions for KMK Mi’kmaq Rights Initiative and Gardner Pinfold. First, what are the operational costs and fishery revenues of two communal lobster fisheries within Nova Scotia? Second, what are the possible avenues for internalizing fishery benefits locally in each of these fishing communities and how might they […]

The vestibular organs detect head movement and are involved in the coordination of standing balance. With balance problems being a common and expensive healthcare cost internationally, there is a growing need for new diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices that target vestibular balance function. In particular, a wearable device that could be used outside the clinic […]

Le géoradar (GPR) est une technique électromagnétique (EM) pour l’imagerie non invasive de supports opaques, souvent utilisé pour les levés souterrains. Le traitement des données GPR, surtout dans des zones urbaines souterraines, repose sur des opérateurs qualifiés et implique de nombreuses étapes coûteuses. Les résultats sont souvent basés sur de larges hypothèses et impliquent une […]

L’une des orientations majeures de la quatrième révolution industrielle est de rendre intelligents les systèmes de contrôle des structures et des processus industriels, par l’intégration de capteurs au cœur du procédé. L’installation d’un nombre considérable de capteurs à travers les endroits les plus à risque a permis d’obtenir des bases de données, structurées, massives et […]

The research project collaboration between APCI and WIMTACH will involve the identification of best technology methods and processes that will enable new modes of publishing to bridge the gap between the traditional paper and online methods. The focus will be on the efficiency of delivery so that cost models are minimized, opening new opportunities for […]

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, accounting for 3% of all cancers diagnosed in adults. Medical Imaging is essential in diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancers. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is now increasingly used in diagnosis and treatment of kidney cancer because of its ability to provide more insights […]

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 […]
