Non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) is cause by accumulation of lipid droplets in liver. NAFLD is the starting point of liver disease and later develop into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis and finally hepatocellular carcinoma. Since there is no specific therapeutics for NAFLD-related liver diseases, development of new drug for NAFLD/NASH is actively on-going. Recently, application of […]

Dance is used with increasing frequency as a health intervention and in research designs; despite this increased use, the techniques and mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Through the use of novel neuroimaging methods that allow for recording of data while subjects are freely moving through space, I aim to elaborate a neurobiological model of dance […]

My research examines the relationship between business, labour, and the state over the development and regulation of labour markets. For my dissertation I am proposing a comprehensive case study of the trajectory of Canadian and Australian labour market regulation over the post-war period. I adopt a broad understanding of labour market policy comprising employment/industrial relations, […]

Individuals from diverse backgrounds are routinely exposed to a second language, whether it is through formal education, within the community, or at home. As such, many individuals are consuming stories in a language other than their native tongue. Although past research has shown that sequential bilinguals typically report weaker emotional experiences when processing emotional content […]

The ambitious goal of my proposal is to explore low-energy transfers to triangular libration points that is the final frontier in Earth-Moon system. As an innovative idea, the role of solar gravity in transfer mechanism will be revealed by chaos theory. With the development of space technology, the booming desire on triangular libration point urges […]

Hard disk technology is still the most widely used technology for data storage. Two promising technologies to improve this industry are Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) and all-optical switching (AOS) of magnetization. To check the validity of theories that support HAMR and AOS, more rigorous experimental data is required. Laboratory for Ultrafast Thermomagnetics (LUTher) at York […]

I will be joining the ongoing project led by TU Delft in partnership with Paques BV and Orgaworld to develop a sustainable technology for the production of bioplastic in the form of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) from organic waste at the Lelystad Innovation Centre (L.I.C.) located next to the dry anaerobic digestion facility (Biocel) in Lelystad. The […]

Generative models enable the researchers to address multiple problems spanning from noise removal to generating novel samples with properties of the domain. Generative models are commonly studied for images and in this project the idea will be expanded to 3D structures or volumes. Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a technique to estimate accurate 3D structures […]

My project advocates that a primary impediment to increased consciousness about Indigeneity lies in how we study the contemporary literature of Indigenous peoples. This requires a reconceptualization of Indigeneity away from its boundedness to specific lands and pasts that valorize ties to first contact, instead embracing the reality that Indigenous peoples are a contemporary presence […]

Social connections, especially satisfying romantic relationships, are vital for health and well-being. Yet, couples are spending increasingly more time apart, limiting opportunities for connection and intimacy. However, engaging in shared novel activities (i.e. self-expanding activities) can help couples connect and maintain their relationship over time. Indeed, couples who experience more self-expanding opportunities in relationships feel […]

IMAX is a Canadian-born invention that has had little scholarly investigation despite its continued commercial success. The importance of this research project stems from the lack of scholarly research about the beginnings of IMAX as a Canadian-born invention and its place within the history media technology. In celebration of IMAX’s 50th anniversary, The Public Access […]
