As digital technology becomes increasingly integrated and more advanced, so too does the threat to cyber-security. UVic’s Information Security and Object Technology research lab has been addressing this threat since 1999. Coordinator and research engineer Issa Traoré admits it’s a constant battle to keep ahead of hacker expertise and adaptability.

A quirky mix of student programmers. Dr. Jim Tanaka, the research psychologist who leads them. And the app software they designed that could change the face of autism therapy.

Randall Sobie is leading a project to build a cloud computing system for the ATLAS experiment at CERN—providing storage and analysis tools for the billion gigabytes of data produced at the Large Hadron Collider. The new system will significantly advance global investigations into the fundamental structure of the universe.

UVic physicist Randall Sobie is leading a project to build a data and cloud computing system for the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva Switzerland. The new system will significantly advance global investigations into the fundamental structure of the universe.

It's full-speed ahead for a new software platform that builds on the world-leading data management system of the UVic's Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) thanks to federal funding announced today at UVic.

Take a virtual tour from seaweeds and sea stars to wolves and eagles, with a new digital field guide. The guide provides experts and amateurs with a tool to identify over 700 species in the Great Bear Rainforest to help deepen our appreciation of the biodiversity along BC’s central coast.

From seaweeds and sea stars to wolves and eagles, a new app provides experts and amateurs with a tool to identify over 700 species in the Great Bear Rainforest to help deepen our appreciation of the biodiversity along BC’s central coast. The guide for phone, computer and tablet is a collaborative project developed by UVic's Brian Starzomski and including grad studentChanda Brietzke and alumna Kelly Fretwell.

A team of researchers based at the University of Victoria are poised to revolutionize medical diagnostics with new, far less invasive methods that can be applied to a variety of diseases and wellness monitoring.

An innovative study and clinical trial led by UVic's Centre on Aging will soon allow nurses and doctors to better monitor the health of Victoria-area seniors in the comfort of their own homes.

The newly released Let’s Face It 2.0, a scrapbook app developed by the University of Victoria’s Centre for Autism Research Technology Education (CARTE) and now available free on iTunes, is a powerful educational tool for learning faces and recognizing emotions of the important people in the lives of children on the autism spectrum. “It is a selfie culture and I hope our app will be adopted by anyone who finds it useful,” says CARTE director and UVic psychology professor Jim Tanaka. “Parents and educators can create their own storybook from people and objects in their children’s lives.”
