Water electrolysis has attracted attention as a sustainable and clean means for the production of hydrogen. Research focus is shifting from proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis towards anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysis. However, there is a gap between studies of electrode materials in aqueous electrolytes and real devices utilizing ion conducting membranes. The […]

The Senegalese sole is an important species of flatfish in the ecology of coastal ecosystems in southern Europe and North Africa and a staple food source for human consumption throughout its range. It is also a species of great interest for studies of retinal structure and function as it possesses unique photoreceptor distributions that are […]

The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. This project will enhance and build on the existing CLEWs tools to make them more robust, enhance the ability of […]

Dans nos sociétés hautement connectées, les données personnelles des citoyens peuvent être utilisées par diffèrent types d’acteurs politiques aux motivations diverses. Ces données peuvent être utilisées par les partis politiques pour profiler les citoyens et leur transmettre des messages personnalisés lors des campagnes électorales. Elles peuvent aussi être utilisées par les gouvernements afin de contrôler […]

I will examine the limits of evolution by investigating morphological and genetic variation of threespine stickleback populations in real time, under the supervision of Dr. Eric Palkovacs at the University of California, Santa Cruz. According to evolutionary theory, organisms experience selective pressures, which can result in adaptation and evolution. Since strong selection events are frequently […]

AYAZAZI (meaning ‘Knowing Themselves’ in Zulu) was a CIHR funded youth-centred, multi-site, interdisciplinary, prospective cohort study focused on HIV prevention among 425 adolescents and young adults (aged 16-24 years) residing in Soweto and Durban, who reported HIV-negative or unknown status at enrolment. AYAZAZI is guided by a youth engagement framework, which prioritizes youth-friendly spaces and […]

Electrochemical carbon dioxide recycling offers an attractive approach to the synthesis of fuels and chemical feedstocks using renewable energy. However, fundamental and applied science hurdles remain on the path to the deployment of this technology. Integrating catalytic design and mechanistic understanding will lead to scientific insights and advance the technology towards industrial relevance. Catalysts must […]

Dans de nombreux pays, l’inclusion scolaire est devenue un enjeu politique majeur pour renforcer l’égalité d’accès aux savoirs. L’intention politique, accompagnée par les apports de la recherche dans ce domaine de l’inclusion scolaire, s’est concrétisée par des réformes favorisant l’adaptation aux besoins éducatifs particuliers des élèves. Dans deux contextes, la Suisse et le Québec, ce […]

Le syndrome d’apnées du sommeil touche un milliard de personnes dans le monde et est associé à des pathologies cardiovasculaires et métaboliques telles que l’insuffisance coronarienne et le diabète de type 2. Chez la femme ménopausée, la prévalence et les conséquences du SAS augmentent. Les équipes du Pr. Joseph et du Dr Belaïde utilisent l’hypoxie […]

Breast?conserving surgery (BCS) is a mainstay in breast cancer treatment. For nonpalpable breast cancers, current strategies have limited accuracy, contributing to high tumor-positive margin rates. Perk-Lab developed NaviKnife, a surgical navigation system based on real?time electromagnetic (EM) tracking. The goal of the research project is to confirm the further feasibility of intraoperative EM navigation in […]

The big data era represents an opportunity for statistical methods to shine, through applications relevant to a wide spectrum of fields, including actuarial science. In order to seize and make the most out of this opportunity, researchers and practitioners must, however, effectively manage the challenges that big data pose. The intern will be exposed to […]

This MITACs Globalink award will be used to support research into small-scale and run-of-river hydropower currently being deployed in Europe and potentially feasible for deployment in Northern Ontario semi-frozen off-grid locations. The world leaders in small hydropower R&D are in Europe. France in particular is well recognized as a global leader in all aspects of […]
