Le projet de recherche proposé vise à comprendre comment un trou noir supermassif influence son environnement et la formation des étoiles dans la galaxie centrale NGC 4696, au cœur de l’amas du Centaure, en utilisant des données inédites du télescope spatial James Webb. Le stagiaire participera à l’analyse de ces observations afin de séparer, à […]

Clean electricity is energy that is both sustainable and non-polluting. Such sources of energy are ideal for mitigating climate change. For the full benefit of clean energy generation to be realized, sustainable practices must be integrated into the development of clean technologies. This requires using materials that are both renewable and recyclable. These can indeed […]

Net Zero Atlantic is a non-profit organization, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that is seeking to advance a sustainable and inclusive transition to a carbon-neutral Atlantic Canada through the provision of credible and objective data and support services. In service of this objective, Net Zero Atlantic leads applied research projects designed to help inform Atlantic […]

This Mitacs Globalink Project will place a University of Toronto undergraduate physics student at the experimental site of a high-flux reactor-based neutrino experiment called RICOCHET in Grenoble, France. The intern will be hosted at Université Grenoble Alpes and will work closely with the local research team to support experiment operations and to develop a quantitative […]

This project aims to understand the processes of accretion disk and jet formation around supermassive black hole systems. It will be performed within the Black hOle Optical-polarization TimE-domain Survey (BOOTES, https://www.ia.forth.gr/index.php/project/1055), designed to study the polarized light coming from persistent and transient black hole systems called blazars and Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs), respectively. Within the […]

Ce projet porte sur la caractérisation d’une torche plasma à arc soufflé à la pression atmosphérique pour le dépôt de couches minces organosiliciées. La caractérisation se concentre principalement sur l’interaction précurseur plasma et et son impact sur la physicochimie des couches déposées. La principale méthode de caractérisation du plasma sera faite à l’aide de l’utilisation […]

Climate change and the current energy crisis require the development of sustainable and clean energy systems. It is now well established that the development of the hydrogen economy will be a solution to overcome the intensive use of fossil fuels. The production of high-purity green hydrogen from electrocatalytic water splitting using cheap and sustainable catalysts, […]

The identification of a victim or suspect is often a top priority in criminal investigations. Biological sex determination can narrow down a list of potential victims or suspects. Although deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a powerful tool in identifying suspects and victims, its use in hair is limited by poor yield and degradation, often being insufficient […]
