An embedded electronic system with GPS and GSM modules and a unique power supply will be developed for installation on a bike frame which cannot be tampered with. The system will allow the owner to receive notifications of a theft and to track the bike’s movement and location. This information can be passed to the […]

Data anonymization focuses on removing any personal or other information that would identify an individual or a set of persons from a given collection of records. In addition, anonymization should also mask information that could potentially be combined with other publicly available data to reidentify the individuals. This project aims to study data anonymization for […]

This project will expand upon the underlying research conducted with the 2012 Urban Futures Survey of Greater Vancouver. The intern will evaluate a survey that was the third similar survey approximately 20 years apart to inform planning policies in the Metro Vancouver region. The last survey, in 2012, used an online consultation platform instead of […]

User interfaces for health care apps can improve the quality of life of patients, and help them to have active lives despite their condition. In this fact, we highlight the importance of creating a well-designed interface for health care apps to support patients monitoring key parameters, recording daily personal facts, and treatment adherence. In this […]

The aim of this project is to improve simultaneous EEG-fMRI techniques through the use of constrained principal component analysis (CPCA). The main problem with combining EEG measures and fMRI measures is that recording EEG in the MR scanner always injects noise into the data. CPCA partitions the variability of the data into systematic and error […]

Social impact bonds (SIB) have the potential to fund proven social innovation projects that governments have to date, for a variety of reasons, been reticent to fund. Through a SIB, private investors fund innovative social intervention work that is carried out by a non-profit. If the non-profit achieves certain social outcomes previously agreed upon by […]

The proposed research project objectives are to enable the participating First Nations to identify strengths and weaknesses related to economic development and governance; develop policies and support for entrepreneurship; develop programs for capacity building; strengthen leadership and management skills; build trust and new networks that will inform and involve outsiders. The partners, Heiltsuk Nation, Haida […]

Amidst various causes of car accidents, those which result due to unseen vehicles or objects play an important role. Automatic Blind spot detection system is, therefore, one of the solutions which can improve the safety feature of a vehicle. Moovee Innovations, Inc., our partner company, is developing a light-weight vehicle designed to travel at urban […]

In the past, Canada’s fisheries have been improperly managed, which has led to overfishing and general downturn of fisheries economics. Because of this, the federal government has mandated that all fisheries be monitored to ensure that the proper regulations and quotas are being followed. Recently, the onus for this monitoring has been transferred to the […]

Rising river temperatures, partly driven by land-use and climate warming, threaten the future of Fraser River salmon. It is vital that fisheries managers acquire tools that will aid their understanding of how rising river temperatures will impact salmon in the Fraser River. With my industry partner, I will build a novel mathematical temperature model for […]

Regular expressions can be thought of as a mini programming language that has a general pattern notation that allows you to search texts for occurrences of string patterns. Recently, a prototype compiler for regular expressions was introduced that provided a 5x or better performance advantage over its closest competitors. The prototype implemented a novel new […]

The aim of the internship is to develop strategies for commercialization of radical, generic technologies developed by Exro in the area of clean technology. They have developed and patented. a variable input electrical generator that could be very efficiently used in producing electricity for undetermined electricity generation levels from clean tech sources like wind turbine […]
