The growing amounts of metal waste being transported and recycled is a challenging problem. This research project aims to build efficient daily vehicle routes of the reverse logistics problem and collecting metal waste form different points in order to minimize total costs under multiple operational constraints. The reverse logistics vehicle routing problem which combines a […]

Les machines d’emballage alimentaire sont produites en fonction des besoins du client et, par conséquent, chaque projet a ses propres exigences. Pour cette raison, l’étude de nouveaux procédés et matériaux est importante pour l’innovation et la concurrence sur le marché. D’autre part, les technologies de fabrication additive sont de plus en plus accessibles et réalisables […]

The Creative Destruction Lab is a seed venture development program for massively scalable science and technology based ventures founded to positively impact the human condition. The CDL has instituted a unique summer program in light of the COVID-19 pandemic that accelerates ventures that address Covid-19 in terms of information-based solutions. CDL-West, based at UBC Sauder […]

In order to investigate proteins in their natural environment one can attach tiny reporter molecules to them that can be traced with appropriate instruments. However, these small reporter molecules may often cause strong perturbations to the functionality of the proteins, or cannot be seen due to experimental restrictions like low concentrations. Bioorthogonal chemistry aims to […]

The project will aim at collecting and studying 5G wireless network data latency to a) find ways to improve latency results (reduction, avoidance of peaks, etc.) and b) identify methods to optimize the distribution of network or application function within the network (i.e. find the optimal location of a function in a network ranging from […]

With the onset of COVID-19, the commercial real estate industry has been greatly impacted as fewer individuals and businesses are using office spaces. As such, with growing uncertainty, it is imperative to adapt, develop, and strategically plan for the foreseeable future. This project serves two purposes: 1) Assist in operational transformation using cloud-based technology and […]

The Gulo Gulo project objective is to improve the navigation algorithm utilized by the onboard motion sensors of AV/CVs to achieve positioning accuracy of less than 1% of the distance travelled with standalone INS solutions. The standalone solution will be aided with visions sensors (camera, LIDAR and RADAR) in addition to integrated system fusion with […]

Hydrocarbon production methods extract mass from the subsurface and consequently change the density distribution. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) uses steam to enhance the heavy oil in the subsurface which mobilizes it and allows it to be pumped to the surface. Today, we do not know very accurately, where oil is produced and where steam […]

Since Amazon robotics expanded the use of drones to package deliveries to customers, drone applications have been expanded to many industries along with its ability to perform various tasks autonomously. The fundamental technology of drones’ autonomy comes from perceiving its surrounding, creating its own map based on onboard sensors and estimate its location within the […]

The emerging 360-degree video applications provide the user with an immersive experience. This comes at the price of high computational complexity to process the high-resolution content (e.g. 4K or 8K) and of high data rate to deliver it in real time to the user. The user’s experience can be made more realistic using stereoscopic 360-degree […]
