Automated Scanning Probe Fabrication for Atomic Scale Devices

With our increasing dependence on technology, the total energy consumption from electronic devices for computation is projected to surpass all other contributions. By creating atomic-scale devices at the fundamental limits in size and energy cost, we can reduce their overall energy consumption while increasing computational power. While proof of concept devices are already routinely created, […]

The Governance of Space-Based Infrastructure

The project will study and propose policies on the governance of space-based communications infrastructure, focusing on two issues: (1) addressing the threat of cyber-attacks on space assets by way of government policies, international cooperation, and encouraging an indigenous space-cyber defense industry; and (2) addressing the challenges posed by space-based internet services, currently rolling out in […]

Bioconversion of wastes into polyhydroxyalkanoates and recovery of co-products at pilot scale

Sustainable biomaterials and biofuels are a critical matter that researchers are employed in. Based on sustainability issues different wastes such as paper mill activated sludge and waste cooking oil have been utilized for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production. Large quantities of paper mill activated sludge is produced in North America, and its safe disposal in environment is […]

Investigating WD repeat protein function in the nucleolar biology and cancer

Ribosome biosynthesis is one of the most multifaceted and energy-demanding processes in biology. It involves over 250 factors that transiently associate with the nascent pre-ribosome in a well-orchestrated manner. Importantly, increased ribosome biogenesis has a critical role in cancer initiation and progression. Owing to the advances in cryo-electron microscopy, this pathway’s detailed mechanism started to […]

How are rapid environmental changes influencing Canadian-origin Yukon River Chinook declines?

Yukon River Chinook salmon have experienced devastating declines in recent years, leading to significant impacts on Yukon First Nation citizens. To address this growing conservation issue, we have collaborated with Yukon First Nations to understand their desires for improving salmon conservation capacity, and how we can support them in this endeavour. Together, we have identified […]
