Development of an system for in-flight system identification of fixed-wing UAV.

Small unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly being used in a wide range of surveillance applications, such as wildlife or crop monitoring. A key limitation restricting broader application is their limited endurance. This project deals with the determination of the flight characteristics of small unmanned aerial vehicles used for aerial observation. A better understanding of those […]

Examining a Nature-Based Mindfulness-Compassion Intervention Delivered Via Virtual Reality: Applications for Older Adults

The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, increasing the necessity for effective interventions targeting the mental health needs of older adults. The proposed research project is a partnership between Dr. Khoury’s mindfulness research lab at McGill (PhD Intern: Isabel Sadowski) and Super Splendide. We seek to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness […]

Decolonizing diagnostic assessments in mathematics

The overall purpose of this research is to explore the ways diagnostic assessments enable or disable growth in mathematics understanding for children most impacted by colonialism, in particular Black and Mi’kmaw children in Mi’kma’ki or what we now call Nova Scotia. This research stems from ongoing collaborative relationships in local Mi’kmaw and Black communities that […]

COMmunity-based nutrition RISK in Indigenous communities (COMRISK-Indigenous)

Poor nutrition is common in older adults and may be even higher in Indigenous communities than the general population. Yet, nutrition risk is rarely assessed as part of a health check-up. In this project, a First Nation and an interdisciplinary team will work in partnership to determine how to address poor nutrition in that community. […]
