With the help of the Mitacs Globalink Research Award, I traveled to Tsinghua University, where I did field investigations into water policy.

Our research focuses on animal and human waste management, a growing concern among the public and policy-makers alike.

“When we do a study like this, it lets us answer the question of how our rivers and forests are doing, it lets us know what our company’s water footprint looks like, and it gives us opportunities to be a good corporate citizen."

"The research experience... was a chance for me to familiarize myself with the facilities, knowledge-gaining opportunities, and international research scenarios at different universities."

“The funding was key to developing my academic career, my relationships, and my understanding of the use and transfer of my research for real-life and business situations.”

I had access to powerful analytical equipment and learned many new things from Dr. Kalıpҫılar, the technical services personnel, and my incredible lab mates Burcu, Melis, and Irem.

I’ve worked on many solar projects in Canada, but we typically didn’t have enough sun to validate our research findings. The Globalink Research Award gave me a chance to work on a solar project right under the sun and apply my conclusions to the solar simulation model.

Global warming is becoming a serious issue and one of its consequences is the emergence of a major pest: the spider mite.

Our shared goals are to help companies obtain international certification and create higher quality fish products while increasing sustainability and efficiency in this resource-intensive industry.

Mitacs Accelerate proved to be ideal for us. It gave us a greater incentive to move forward with our new environmental initiatives.
