Invited Speakers

Stephen LaRoy Engineer, Smart Metering and Infrastructure,

BC Hydro

Stephen LaRoy, P.Eng., graduated from UBC with a BASc in Engineering Physics in 2006. After stints volunteering in Burkina Faso and working as a Product Engineer at PMC-Sierra, he started at BC Hydro in the Smart Metering Program in 2008. He has been involved in various aspects of the project, including the oversight of the Smart Metering Lab in 2010. He is currently working as a telecommunications network engineer for the Smart Metering Program, where he is responsible for designing backhaul for meter data using technologies such as WiMAX, public cellular, and satellite
Stefan Storey

Research fellow at Sustainable Building Science Program

UBC Sustainable Building Science Program

Stefan Storey is a PhD Candidate at the Institute of Resources, Environment and Sustainability, where he is collaborating with the UBC Sustainability Initiative along with research architects at Perkins+Will. He is co-founder of the LCA Alliance, a life cycle advocacy group at UBC Vancouver. Recently, Stefan joined the UBC Sustainable Building Science Program where he continues his work on life cycle assessment methods to quantify the financial and environmental impacts of commercial buildings.

About the Project Fair

The Engineering Physics Project Fair provides a forum for the interchange of ideas and for the reinforcement of technological networks between students and faculty at UBC, local industry, and government support agencies.  The Project Fair brings together participants to review current developments as presented by our invited speakers, as well as being a showcase for the 120 senior Engineering Physics students and the projects undertaken in the Project Laboratory during the past year in an interactive poster session and award-winning student presentations.

Please consider attending and meeting our senior class – this is an opportunity to meet our students in person and to review their project work firsthand.
