Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory process affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants, whereby progressive bone loss will result in the loss of the functional implant. Every year, 40% of dental implants get infected into such pathological conditions, and ultimately 10% fail. Existing techniques, such as physical and chemical methods, are either expensive […]

In Canada, 8% of youth are born preterm (

The research that I plan to conduct in this internship is part of my doctoral work. Through an ethnographic examination of the everyday realities of young men and women in West Africa’s largest marketplace, my PhD research will examine the relationship between livelihood opportunities, policy, and youth social action in Onitsha Eastern Nigeria. This research […]

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging modality enabling the detection of many physiological process, such as the uptake of specific molecule by cancer cells. Inside the patient, 511keV gamma produced by positron annihilation is detected and the annihilated point is mapped. Detecting the interaction time of each gamma-ray with a 10ps timing resolution […]

Iron-based nanoparticles can not only be used in sensitizers or absorbers but also retain excellent electrical conductivity, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. So far, very few synthetic methods are known to implement stable Iron-based nanomaterials. We propose to develop novel synthesis routes to produce QDs. In addition, we plan to develop surface modification processes to […]
