UBC IDEA lab Postdoctoral Fellow Position (Computer Science)

Care robots have the potential to offer useful support in long-term care. We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow with a strong background in computer science or engineering to lead the technical development and real-world implementation of autonomous mobile robot assistants in long-term care (LTC) settings. The Fellow will work at the intersection of robotics, human–robot interaction (HRI), user-centred design, and implementation science, in close collaboration with industry partners and people with lived experience. Under the supervision of Dr.

Postdoctoral Fellow - CO2-free hydrogen production

A postdoctoral fellow is being sought to work on a new method of producing CO2-free hydrogen from methane. As the lead researcher on this project, your primary tasks will be related to catalyst development, reactor design, synthesis, and characterization to understand and control the interaction between reactivity, catalyst surfaces, carbon and reactants. The majority of the work will be experimental and involve novel high temperature reactors.

I'm currently working on monitoring the microbial interaction within novel biogas upgrade systems. These systems were built upon anaerobic digestion technology, coupled with an electrocatalytic platform, membrane technology, or microbial electrochemical systems. My research focuses on characterizing and modelling the microbial activities in these reactors using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics. 

Vivek Yadav

Develop the theory and algorithms for curved meshing techniques that will improve the accuracy of high-order adaptive finite element simulation, and design the software architecture for implementing them.

1) Qualitative analysis of Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ youth online focus groups, describing the experience of coming out to parents/caregivers. The study population also included children of first-generation immigrants from South and East Asia. The aim is to create a culturally-appropriate resource site that will help improve parental connectedness and communication during the coming out process.
2) A study of challenges and support to healthcare access in immigrant youth.
3) A study of a pregnancy prevention intervention for transmasculine and non-binary youth assigned female at birth.
