Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new class of materials, which gained significant attention from the scientific community in the past 10-15 years. The interest in MOFs is mainly due to their unique properties, which include tunable structure, large surface area, extensive porosity, and a high degree of crystallinity. Because of these characteristics, MOFs have […]

Being able to analyze a 3D model of a patient’s pelvic bones allows doctors to plan surgeries and diagnosis diseases. With continued improvements in medical imaging and machine learning, it is now fast and accurate to produce these models. However, current techniques rely on CT scans that emit ionizing radiation. This type of radiation is […]

Since September 2021, I have worked as a research assistant for Professors Erica Lehrer (Concordia University, Canada) and Joanna Wawrzyniak (University of Warsaw, Poland) to survey existing decolonial curatorial practices in Poland’s museum landscape. My proposed Mitacs Outbound project aims to enrich the current discussion of Poland’s difficult past by bringing Jewish and BIPoC perspectives […]

Home Away from Home is a research-creation project aimed at exploring the hereditary links to Italy by first and second generation immigrants that are visiting the country of their parents and grandparents. My objective is to create a short research-creation sketch that examines the flexible identity of these individuals and how this identity can be […]

Central hypersomnolence disorders are characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and strongly affect patients’ quality of life. A lack of awareness, as well as poorly understood underlying biology is hindering early identification and adequate treatment of hypersomnolence disorders. Ultimately, strongly reduced daytime functioning and quality of life in patients with central hypersomnolence disorders presents a […]

Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and VTOL fixed-wing UAVs can have a significantly positive societal impact with applications such as urban air taxi, flying ambulance, search and rescue, delivery to remote places (e.g., Canadian north) and medical equipment transport. These applications are challenging in many aspects. One of the biggest challenges is to achieve high […]

The research project aims to develop an approach based on resource management in 5G/6G network slicing to meet the performance requirements of remote surgeries that involve surgeons and patients connected remotely through a highly reliable and efficient network. Remote surgery’s relevance is because it allows low-income patients in vulnerable communities to access complex medical procedures […]

The race to the Internet of things (IoT) paradigm is fueled by leading technological enterprises and governmental institutions for a fast transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution where machines, sensors and actuators can communicate and process data to enable a more efficient production cycle. To pave the way for the advance in IoT, next-generation wireless […]

This project will use speculative design methodologies to create wearable technologies (wearables mounted with sensors that can be worn), capable of sending, receiving, and sharing sensory information across differently-abled human bodies. As the participants with different body structures, mobility, and agility move in space wearing aforementioned wearable technologies, proprioceptive information (sense of balance and body […]

Evidence summaries, combined results from different primary studies, are critical for the development of health policy and clinical practice guidelines. However, traditional systematic review methods tend to be long and expensive. Rapid reviews (RRs) and living systematic reviews (LSRs) have been created to address the need to support these limitations. Although these methods streamline the […]

My research examines the significance of opposition to large-scale land deals for electoral democracy and citizenship in Senegal. Since 2007, there has been a dramatic surge in land acquisitions in the Global South. These projects, because they often encroach on community farmland and pastures, can profoundly damage rural livelihoods. In Senegal, aggrieved populations across the […]

A massive volume of trash tires is generated globally, posing an environmental hazard. This dictates the development of effective technologies to recycle and utilize them. Tires are non-biodegradable, inert materials that are incredibly hard to treat. Various processes have been developed in recent years to process, treat, and use this kind of trash. However, the […]
