This project aims to improve electrochemical aptamer-based sensors, that can monitor important biomolecules in real time, directly inside the body or in other complex environments. These sensors are promising because they can be adapted to detect many different targets, but their use is limited by a gradual loss of stability and performance over time. To […]

Although small and isolated populations experience increased extinction risk, recent research shows that not all small populations are doomed to extinction. The ability to predict the probability of extinction in nature could therefore direct conservation resources to those populations most in need. One theory is that small populations can evade extinction when directional selection removes […]

This research project supports the development of the NEXT experiment in Groningen, which studies rare, short-lived atomic nuclei important for understanding how the heaviest elements in the universe are formed. These special nuclei, produced in high-energy reactions, are difficult to make and study due to their low production rates and short lifetimes. The intern will […]

Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) are mathematical models that describe random phenomena evolving over space and time. SPDEs underpin modern approaches to modeling phenomena in fields such as climate science, neuroscience, financial mathematics, engineering and quantum physics. The aim of the project is to construct a new solution to a particular SPDE and investigate the […]

I will be a Fellow at the University of Dublin’s School of Gender Studies and School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice, to collaborate with an interdisciplinary set of scholars across the university, and to conduct archival research in the Irish Women at Work Oral History Project at University College Cork, the Jewish […]

Increasingly, fungi are becoming resistant to the drugs, antifungals, that we use to treat fungal infections, necessitating research into alternative antifungal strategies. One way to increase the amount and delivery of antifungals to invading fungi within the body is using protein-based nanoparticles. The antifungals associate with the nanoparticles that are delivered and taken in by […]

Ce projet appuie les efforts de restauration du lac Osisko, situé à Rouyn-Noranda, un plan d’eau fortement contaminé par des activités industrielles. Le but est d’évaluer le potentiel d’une méthode écologique appelée phytoremédiation, qui utilise des plantes pour extraire les polluants. L’étude portera sur le myriophylle à épis, une plante aquatique envahissante déjà présente dans […]

Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes, often leading to serious infections and even limb amputations. These chronic wounds heal poorly due to prolonged inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue damage. This project aims to develop an advanced wound dressing that combines natural and synthetic materials with innovative nanotechnology to improve healing outcomes. The […]

This research project aims to conduct a cross-national comparison of family mental health in the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) between France and Canada. The first step will involve harmonizing data from two national cohorts (ELENA in France and PATHWAYS in Canada) by identifying common or comparable mental health measures and family characteristics. Using […]

Emerging contaminants (ECs) have become a significant environmental concern due to their widespread presence and risks to health and ecosystems. Meanwhile, agricultural waste is also increasing, providing a valuable source for high-value materials. Traditional detection methods are costly, slow, and require specialized equipment and time-consuming laboratory analyses. Electrochemical sensors offer a low-cost, rapid, and sensitive […]

The proposed research explores the use of mid-air haptics using ultrasound waves on the dorsal side of the hand, with envisioned applications for the dynamic display of haptic cues while reading embossed braille or tactile graphics.

Ce projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre l’impact de l’acidification des océans causée par les émissions d’azote et de soufre, en complément des effets déjà étudiés des gaz à effet de serre. Il développera un modèle global permettant d’évaluer ces effets sur la biodiversité marine et d’identifier les zones les plus vulnérables. Cette approche […]
