ENPH students create an immersive sensory experience of shared breathing

Pictured below L to R: Lauren Halloway, Nika Martinussen, and Chloe Benko-Prieur, testing their prototype of a large custom-made bellows that will pump water into and out of cushions on a robotic “chair,” simulating the breathing of the other user. This project, which began in ENPH 459 and completed the following year in ENPH 479, […]

Alex Koen presents at the American Physical Society’s Plasma Physics Conference

Alex Koen at the American Physical Society’s Plasma Physics Conference, October 31 – November 2, 2023 in Denver, Colorado. Abstract: While commercially-available computer-aid design (CAD) tools excel in modeling most traditional designs, they fall short when developing complex, computationally-seeded stellarator geometry. At Thea Energy, the magnetic winding surface is tiled using an array of planar […]

Engineering Physics student unveils superconductivity in twisted graphene, now published in Nature Materials

Almost a year and a half ago, Ray Su, pictured above, began a Co-op term with UBC physics professor Josh Folk. Ray Su: “Initially, my role involved learning the methods of nanoscale and cryogenic sample preparation from members of the group – from using the “scotch-tape” method to isolate two-dimensional crystals, assembling crystal layers to […]
