Quantwave Technologies Inc
QuantWave was established to pursue the growing demands of intelligent sensing platform for industrial IoT applications. In traditional manufacturing industries, due to the high capex and opex as well as poor hardware/software compatibility, much valuable operational data are hidden. The sampling and monitoring schedule is also not sufficiently frequent to support real-time decision making. We aim to improve the quality of industrial manufacturing processes and finished products, minimize the capital and operational costs as well as to provide optimal decision-making tools by developing a real-time, AI-powered, multi-parameter intelligent sensing system. QuantWave intelligent sensing technology has applications in various industries empowered by IoT, including water or wastewater, food & beverage, diagnostics, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

It also consists of several professors, researchers and graduate students, as well as adjunct members from other departments and universities. Synchromedia core theme consists in an intelligent and seamless integration of various perceptual modes of information that allows collaborative management and sharing of information, actions and behaviors beyond the mere multimedia teleconferencing and communication. Rather than using a conventional Client/Server architecture, we adopt an advanced open overlay self-scaling network architecture based on distributed and virtualized resources and grid computing paradigm. This results in the integration of various perceptual modes of information, and enables remote access and sharing of resources, responsibilities and services in synchronous/asynchronous manner among geographically dispersed actors. Synchromedia is active in a broad range of research fields - Sustainable Smart Computing - Classification and Machine Learning

Ubc Visual Cognition Lab
The UBC Visual Cognition Lab is a vision science lab in the Computer Science and Psychology Departments of the University of British Columbia. Dr. Ronald A. Rensink is the principal investigator. We investigate visual intelligence – the way in which the human visual system uses the light entering the eyes to create a variety of perceptual experiences. We are interested both in exploring the mechanisms that carry this out, and the ways in which this knowledge can help with the design of effective visual displays. Our mission is to provide opportunities to learn about scientific research in a positive working environment that encourages open lines of communication, group cohesion, and most of all, respect for everyone. We strive towards personal and professional excellence in pursuit of scientific knowledge. Instead of perfection, we value constant evolution towards improvement, both on an individual and a lab-wide basis – and in doing so, we aim to become a role model for other labs by setting the standards of a professional research laboratory.
