Visuality in Nuclear Engineering

I research how film and media participate in juridical regimes stemming from the ocean space. In my doctoral thesis I analyze how the ongoing aestheticizing of the representation of the underwater nuclear weapon explosions not only invisibilizes the Indigenous experiences, but also how such visual regime is at odds with the urgencies of paradigmatic shifts needed in the attempts to work towards a different planetary juridical system. I engage with discussions on role of visuality in relation to urgencies of transition from Environmental Law to Ecological Law. I trace genealogies of conceptualizing post-World War II world order in relation to ontological structure of imaginaries that emerged together with practices of nuclear so-called tests.

Deconstructing the Borromean Trinity of Free/Libre and Open Source Software Development: A Case Study at Savoir-Faire Linux

Savoir Faire Linux (SFL), a leading open source software solutions provider, operates within the free, libre and open source software (FLOSS) community. SFL has been successful because it has been able to effectively adapt code developed with the contributions of the FLOSS community to the needs of its clients. At the same time, however, control over such code can considerably limit SFL’s ability to continue to provide solutions for its clients. SFL’s top management portrays the unique interdependence of SFL, its clients and the FLOSS community in terms of a Borromean Trinity – a sharing arrangement in which each of the three constituents are essential to keep SFL’s business model viable. This research aims to validate the conceptualization of the Borromean Trinity and the effect of public policies on the sustainability of SFL’s open source business model.

Community Based Mental Health Supports for Men from Ethnoculturally Diverse Communities

This community project will train men from diverse ethnocultural backgrounds and support them in leading well-being groups with men from their communities. Evaluations from past projects have underscored the importance of engaging men in conversations of well-being, healthy relationships, and violence-prevention. This includes the need for further outreach to support men in accessing services and address intersectional and system barriers as part of an overall strategy for mens’ well-being and violence prevention. Together, our proposed study will generate knowledge on the process of creating culturally relevant community-based supports by investigating: What are the perspectives and recommendations of Latino, Pashtun, Iranian, Jewish, and Ethiopian men in developing a culturally appropriate and relevant Training Curriculum for well-being groups for men in their respective communities?

Creating a digital cultural asset platform for rural community knowledge and entrepreneurship

This project will explore cultural asset mapping on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, a region with rich cultural heritage but which also faces challenges with supporting entrepreneurship and promoting new economic opportunities. The project will explore options for the creation of a cultural asset mapping tool on the GNP through a community engagement process that will involve both traditional knowledge-holders and cultural entrepreneurs. The intern will work with the partner organization to identify a sub-region, compile existing cultural asset data, conduct interviews with local stakeholders, and work with a web designer to create a prototype online platform for displaying cultural assets in these communities. Intended as the first phase in a larger collaboration, the project’s outcomes will include a preliminary online cultural map co-designed with partner communities, an inventory of cultural entrepreneurship opportunities, and recommendations for developing supports for current and aspiring cultural entrepreneurs in the region.

Study of the permeability of dendrimers as vectors of active ingredients intended for topical applications

Three decades ago, science saw a major revolution in the nanomedicine field. The invention changed the dynamics of drug delivery and ever since, numerous studies have been done to help in delivering drugs with the aid of nanomedicines. Dendrimers are new generation of vectors used in skin drug delivery mostly because of their small size, molecular symmetry, and highly functional surface that could be modified. Dendrimers can modify drug release by enhancing drug dissolution, stability, drug release, targeting and pharmacokinetics of various drugs and could be tailored to penetrate the skin.
This project would be divided in 2 parts:
1- Synthesis and characterization of fluorescent dendrimers: realization of chemical coupling; manipulation of characterization by NMR, DSC, SEC, fluorometry; analysis and interpretation of results.
2- In vitro study of the permeability and biocompatibility of fluorescent vectors.

Cooperative Model Predictive Control in the Coastal Incident Management System (CIMS)

Marine oil spills without rapid and effective response may cause a series of severe hazards such as destroying the ocean ecological environments or even impacting human welfares. Conventional responders lack the in-time response capability for these time-sensitive incidents. To this end, SHIFT Environmental Technologies Ltd., are developing a promising solution called the Coastal Incident Management System (CIMS). This solution relies on the intelligence development of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), where the USV is controlled to the incident regions and the UAV plays a role of the Eye of the USV in the Sky for an enhanced perception capability. A unified cooperative model predictive control framework will be designed, which comprehensively involves the objectives (path planning for the two agents, the total energy consumption, etc.), the constraints (the connection between the two agents, the fixed/mobile obstacles, etc.), the uncertainties (the wind, wave, current, illumination conditions, and the modeling errors, etc.) together, to allow for coordinated optimal actions at each control period. The above functionalities will be integrated and embedded into the system software.

Evaluating novel hearing aid technologies for communication in noise: establishing benchmarks and benefit

This project has two main themes:
The first involves measuring the benefit BiCROS hearing aid users gain from their hearing aids in challenging listening environments. Then, a statistically based qualitative process will be followed to investigate user attitudes towards their hearing aids and what contributes to their successful use. This information will be used to create a questionnaire aimed at measuring user satisfaction towards their hearing aids.
The second theme is focused on ActiveVentTM, a technology used to automatically open and close the venting of a hearing aid, providing access to the benefits of both. We intend to conduct testing on the hearing aids fitted with this technology to evaluate their performance using a multitude of measures across different test laboratory scenarios. We will then collect behavioral outcome measures to assess actual user benefit from ActiveVentTM.

A household-scale granular activated carbon-membrane bioreactor (GAC-MBR) system for water resource recovery in the Prairies region

Inadequate wastewater treatment and reuse in off-grid communities, such as many Indigenous communities, has been a challenge to the environment and hurdle to sustainable development of Canada. Although septic tanks and lagoons have been widely used, they are ineffective in removing nutrients, emerging pollutants, and pathogens, which poses serious threat to the natural water bodies. Through the lens of circular economy, innovative technologies for wastewater treatment and reuse are highly desirable. The goal of this project is to develop a hybrid system for household-scale wastewater treatment and reuse. To optimize the system design and operation conditions and to systematically evaluate the feasibility of the technology, both laboratory and on-site operation will be conducted over the two-year duration. The resultant knowledge and technology will not only benefit the two partners, NACO Technology Inc. and Buffalo Pound Eco Lodge but also shed light on the resolution of inadequate wastewater management remote communities in Canada.

Improving wicking properties for nonwoven geotextiles

Geosynthetics are rolls of man-made products that are used in roads and earthworks. These are often used to improve drainage and work very well in many instances. In some cases such as silt soils or silt-sized mine tailings, geosynthetic drainage doesn’t work well because of the naturally hydrophobic nature of the synthetic fibres. This project will look at ways to enhance the drainage performance in silt soils by modifying the properties of the geosynthetic product.

Animer et documenter un processus de concertation intersectorielle pour une alimentation durable dans la région du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean

Les enjeux touchant l’alimentation sont nombreux et interreliés (manque de main-d’œuvre, accès aux terres, insécurité alimentaire, gaspillage alimentaire). Pour faire face à ces défis, de nombreux acteurs peuvent agir individuellement, mais surtout de manière collective : producteurs, transformateurs, épiciers, restaurateurs, consommateurs ou décideurs. Le défi est que les acteurs ne se connaissent pas ou ne sont pas nécessairement habitués à travailler ensemble, ce qui limite la possibilité de faire des actions coordonnées. Au Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, la démarche Borée vise à assurer la mobilisation, la collaboration et la concertation régionale. Dans le présent projet, la stagiaire accompagnera les partenaires de la démarche à créer et définir les outils et mécanismes permettant la communication et l’animation de ces différents acteurs, sachant que chacun possède ses objectifs, ses discours et ses capacités, qu’il faut comprendre et concilier. Une meilleure concertation des acteurs permettra de développer des initiatives concrètes vers une alimentation plus durable.

Spectral fingerprint of soybean experiencing abiotic and biotic stress

Soybean is the fourth most planted field crop in Canada, contributing more than $5.5 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product and supporting more than 50,000 jobs. The soybean crop is susceptible to damage from drought and heat waves, as well as diseases caused by root-parasitic nematodes and fungal pathogens. The project seeks to develop a rapid diagnostic tool, based on drone spectral technology, that can detect and diagnose the stresses that are occurring in agricultural fields. This project aims to help Canadian soybean farmers to make early decisions that can save their crop from the threat of yield loss or crop failure.
