The Faculty of Applied Science comprises a unique constellation of professional disciplines including; Architecture & Landscape Architecture, Engineering, Nursing and Community & Regional Planning. The core purpose shared across all of our four disciplines is to discover, create and apply knowledge, provide unwavering top-tier education and champion a community of responsible professionals devoted to serving a thriving, sustainable and healthy society. Our work and the professions which our graduates represent span the entire human-centred built environment.
The disciplines within the Faculty of Applied Science are celebrated for the scope, strength and impact of their research activities. Our Faculty claims the spotlight in the global arena for our research in clean energy, communication and digital technologies, health and health technology among many others. We offer disciplinary-specific research based graduate programs as well as a range of professional graduate programs and pride ourselves on our ability to open doors of opportunity to students beyond their time within our Faculty.
This is an incomplete sample of recent publications in chronological order by UBC faculty members with a primary appointment in the Faculty of Applied Science.
| Year | Citation | Program |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Dr Zhou developed a novel numerical toolkit for simulating interfacial dynamics in complex fluids. This diffuse interface-based algorithm opens numerous problems previously considered intractable to numerical simulations. | Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PhD) |
| 2008 | Dr Quinton developed a new infrastructure for diagnosing and correcting functional defects in complex integrated circuits. This infrastructure has the potential to substantially decrease the time required to develop new integrated circuits and reduce the need for expensive design corrections. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2008 | Dr. Aras studied tool intersections in machining. He developed analytical methods for calculating the cutting area in machining operations such as milling. The methods he developed will allow more accurate simulation of the cutting process. | Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering (PhD) |
| 2008 | Dr. Koduru examined a new method of assessing earthquake risks to concrete buidlings. The novel method includes consideration of the uncertainties in modelling the earthquake ground motions, damage, and losses. It improves the transparency of decision-making processes for earthquake rehabilitation and retro-fit. | Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering (PhD) |
