Visitors to the UVic display at the #BCTECH Summit in Vancouver in May 2018 will be measuring their mental fatigue, checking in on their heart health, or just being dazzled by the discoveries of UVic's engineers as the university showcases the best of its tech innovations.
Geographer Jutta Gutberlet and psychologist Jim Tanaka have devoted their careers to helping others—especially children and families and those who live in poverty. As the 2018 recipients of the Provost's Engaged Scholar Award, their commitment to communities locally and internationally will be celebrated at a March ceremony.
Opinion: Key to BC's success is talent
Technology innovator Stewart Butterfield, co-founder and CEO of Slack, is the Gustsavson School of Business 2018 Distinguished Entrepreneur of the Year (DEYA).
University of Victoria alumnus Stewart Butterfield, co-founder and CEO of Slack, is the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business 2018 Distinguished Entrepreneur of the Year. In Butterfield’s two decades working on the web, he has established himself as a top designer, entrepreneur, and technologist.
Lung cancer scans and astronomy may not seem like they've got much in common. But a new research and training program at UVic is demonstrating that you just never know where astronomy studies may lead.
Four Canadian universities. Eight researchers. One goal: improve the way therapeutic drugs are delivered in the human body while diversifying the skillset of a new generation of researchers to build on that work in the academic and private sectors.
Two major training grants to the University of Victoria totaling $3.3 million will strengthen research collaboration and train a new generation of skilled researchers for Canada's emerging tech sectors in astronomy instrumentation and drug delivery.
What if you could experience the beauty of Sidney Spit without leaving your home? Geography PhD student Robert Newell has applied cutting-edge technology to develop a virtual reality experience that takes visitors on a tour of the park, over land and underwater, using visualization tools.
Unprecedented high-resolution data from undersea canyons off Vancouver Island's west coast is helping us understand the importance of these canyons as rapid-transit corridors for carrying carbon from the ocean surface to the deep sea.
Citizen scientists helped researchers this summer better understand ocean health and declining salmon populations in the Salish Sea. Approximately, 1270 passengers on BC Ferries took part in an onboard coastal naturalist program and learned how to use a tablet and app to collect images of the sea and sky.
Unprecedented high-resolution data from undersea canyons off Vancouver Island's west coast is bringing new understanding of the importance of these canyons as rapid-transit corridors for carrying carbon from the ocean surface to the deep sea.
A "smart bandage" that detects and treats infection using a smartphone app has the potential for transformative advances in wound care, says UVic bioengineer Mohsen Akbari, principal investigator of a study published this week which describes the science behind the innovation.
Somewhere between gold and glass lies a new material that could end a decade of stagnant computer speeds, suggests a University of Victoria engineer whose research is adding to that vision.
A “smart bandage” that detects and treats infection using a smartphone app has the potential for transformative advances in wound care, according to University of Victoria bioengineer Mohsen Akbari. The bandage monitors pH levels at wound sites to detect the earliest signs of bacterial infection.
A UVic chemist has developed a breakthrough material that will make computers and smartphones faster, more durable and more energy-efficient. The new material allows computer chips to exist at a molecular level, with a technology known as light-induced magnetoresistive random-access memory (LI-RAM).
