UVic is off to space!🚀 CubeSat, a small satellite created by UVic students, will be sent to the International Space Station this fall. @Space_Station #innovation Full story: ➡️ ow.ly/hA7C50Kmb1V

#UVic is investing in machine learning, artificial intelligence and Indigenous data governance to protect our oceans and position Canada as a global leader in #oceanscience and #climatechange w/ new funding from @InnovationCA’s MSI Fund. @Ocean_Networks ow.ly/n9a550Knh0s

Great to see Canada & @uvic represented at #ICORS2022, including @ReuvenGordon @UVic_ElecComp. In Raman spectroscopy - used in areas such as health sciences - the interaction of light with a substance's chemical bonds provides detailed info about the material.

.@FortisBC has a challenge for young women in engineering: help create a new heating system for its "biodigesters." Teams of younger students (mentored by Fortis, @UVic faculty & #UVicECS students) will learn about turning waste into energy. @hightechu_ca hightechu.ca/fortis-bc-land…

A @Forbes article focuses on a study by #UVic_ElecComp @uvic researcher Yiming Huo, who examines the potential role of a solar system-wide network to protect Earth from asteroids, comets & other threats. Huo's original study appears in @Signals_MDPI. forbes.com/sites/jamiecar…
