Global warming is a major issue faced by society nowadays and to fight it we need to be able to make global climate projections with less uncertainty. Despite numerous progresses in theoretical and computational modelling, there are still climatic phenomena that remain partially unresolved because of the coarseness of the grid resolutions used in global […]

Persons with visual impairments often have residual vision, even if they are legally blind. In this research project, we want to develop technology to assist persons with visual impairment in their everyday life. We want to use augmented reality to enhance the real world visually. The system will be implemented to extract all necessary information […]

Common bean is a promising commodity to ensure food security and increase diet quality due to its high content of protein, minerals, and vitamins. To contribute to the increase of the genetic gain in breeding programs for agronomic and quality traits, the project aims to study the genetic architecture of agronomic and quality traits, and […]

Ce projet de recherche concerne le philosophe Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) et les indications qu’il fournit dans son oeuvre pour traiter, ou du moins apaiser, les soi-disant « maladies de l’âme ». Par une interprétation symbolique de ses écrits, nous porterons notre attention sur les éléments à caractère curatif, afin de trouver compréhension et outils […]

Social media are important ways of interaction between people, creating communities that can engage in order to promote relationships. When used by companies for philanthropic purposes, they can promote actions and donations. The purpose of this research is to understand how engagement can be enhanced through social media communities to get people to help each […]

This project will provide essential technical support and experimental plant materials for my Ph.D. project studying the leaf development of a non-vascular plant, the Physcomitrium patens. The mutant lines I will obtain from this project will be used to study the whole developmental process of the moss leaf. The mutant line with a plasma membrane […]

Cosmic Dawn (CD) is the period in our Universe’s history when first-generation stars and galaxies were formed. Despite its importance, we have yet to directly observe this period. Next-generation radio telescopes promise to change this by utilizing a technique known as 21cm tomography. The current state-of-the-art software package for making theoretical predictions in 21cm tomography […]

Mon séjour de recherche s’organise autour de ma thèse de doctorat, en cours de rédaction, qui interroge l’oeuvre de l’écrivain français Pierre Michon en tant que fabrique de la transcendance, dans le rapport qu’entretient cette transcendance avec l’art du XIXe siècle. Le premier volet du séjour sera consacré à la rédaction de mon deuxième chapitre […]

The proposed research project for Globalink Research Award is to test a hypothesis of faunal connectivity in the Devonian (419-535 million years ago) Nothern Hemisphere through comparision of the fossil vertebrates from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago with those from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, with special focus on an extinct group of lobe-finned fishes (sarcopterygians) […]

Combustion-generated particles called ‘soot’ are the second worst contributor to climate change and are carcinogenic to humans. The formation of soot in combustion devices, however, remains poorly understood. It is therefore essential to gain a better fundamental understanding of soot formation to help reduce soot emissions and mitigate its negative effects on humans and the […]

Fundamental questions remain on how polar oceans will respond to climate change and how rapidly changes will occur. Based on observations made from satellite, there is growing evidence that ocean and sea ice interact at scales on the order of a few tens of kilometers, the mesoscale. However, it is not clear how exactly the […]

Peatlands act as vast carbon (C) reservoirs by regulating decomposition over millennia. Considerable changes due to anthropogenic activities such as peat extraction have shifted long-term C sink to atmospheric C source. Previously, bioengineering tools as rewetting were used to reverse post-extracted peatland hydro-physical properties, and phenolic addition was used on small scale to test the […]
