The objectives of this project are to determine the behavioural and emotional problems affecting children with FASD and their parents/guardians and to determine the specific services and supports this group requires to deal with the identified challenges. This information will be gathered by telephone interviews of 100 parents/guardians and 30 clinicians. The intern will be […]

The goal of the project is to evaluate and refine an app-based questionnaire that provides a multi-faceted assessment of the social dynamics and culture of teams and organizations. This partnership and multi-phase project with VictoryLab involves (a) systematically examining and refining their questionnaire items to ensure their app-based assessment tool provides valid and reliable insights […]

The interns involved in this MITACS cluster will work in close collaboration with the industrial partner, Grafoid, a Canadian company based in Kingston, Ontario, to develop a portfolio of graphene-based products, including autonomous sensors, energy storage, fuel cells and electrically conductive devices. The ultimate objective is to develop proof of concept products including automotive parts, […]

Our proposed research seeks to examine the contemporary role of museums, their agency, and international agendas within a cultural diplomacy framework that recognizes the role of non-state actors in international relations. The purpose of this project is to asses how international cultural work is understood by, and at, cultural institutions in Canada. By documenting and […]

Structural steel plate products such as buried bridges, culverts, and pipes, are entering states of distress. Present day, little is known about the severity of the different deterioration mechanisms occurring in these structures and even less is known on how rehabilitate them accordingly. The following proposed research project will investigate the deterioration and rehabilitation of […]

At this juncture, much data on tourism in Kingston has been collected. However, no appropriate statistical method and analysis has been implemented yet to understand these data. The current project thus aims to create a benchmark for tourism data for Kingston by adopting various modelling techniques (e.g., Hierarchical Linear Modelling (Gelman, 2007), Multilevel Modeling (Green […]

In the military, concussions are common and many occur while non-deployed, including during cadet training exercises. For the majority of those with concussions, symptoms resolve on their own but for a “miserable minority” symptoms persist beyond the typical 3-month recovery period, impacting quality of life. Most concussion research produces group level inferences which cannot be […]

My research interests lie in the sphere of delimitation of continental shelves outside 200 nautical miles in the High North and involve emerging challenges of today. The process and principles of delimitation, influence of geomorphology and geopolitics are core questions of my study. The establishment of maritime borders in the Arctic is very important for […]

This study focus on the understanding of radiation-induced embrittlement in CANDU reactor spacer material, Inconel X-750. The helium pre-implantation following by proton irradiation will be employed as a surrogate for neutron irradiation to simulate the radiation damage on the microstructure of Inconel X-750. Micro-tensile test on irradiation X-750 material will be carried out to evaluate […]

The Cape Bounty Watershed Observatory (CBAWO) is in the Canadian High Arctic, where the soil is frozen and river discharge is zero, except for the summer months (June – August). Given the higher climatic sensitivity of polar regions to climate change, understanding changes in watershed function in these locations is important for assessing land-to-sea fluxes […]

The Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR), affiliated research partners at universities across Canada, and IBM Canada Ltd. have identified a significant and universal issue facing health researchers that applies to Canadian military, Veteran and family health (MVFH) research and health research for the Canadian population at large. Comprehensive and complete medical […]

Using oral history interviews, this collaborative project will document and explore the social history of the efforts made by the Kingston arts community to preserve the historic Morton Brewery and Distillery and to create the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, a vibrant community arts hub. Supplemented by archival research, I will interview the artists, […]
