The global energy system remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which continue to supply about 80% of global demand. While renewable energy is growing, combustion-based systems—such as gas turbines and engines—are expected to dominate for decades. This dependency contributes significantly to harmful emissions like CO and NO?. As a clean fuel with no carbon emissions […]

Behavioural disorders are linked to circadian rhythm disruption. Circadian rhythms are behavioural responses to daily environmental changes, like light/dark cycles. Such behavioural responses are regulated by circadian clocks, which are biochemical time keeping machines that control the daily expression of several hundred genes. There is a circadian clock hypothesis of behavioural disorders that offers a […]

My master’s thesis researches the fundamental and original concepts of health and illness in the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Georges Canguilhem, as well as the reading of Nietzsche by Canguilhem which informed his writings. I plan to study for one year (Oct. 2025 – Aug. 2026) at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany, under the supervision […]

Haskap is an emerging berry crop in North America known for its unique flavour and high nutritional value. Commercial haskap cultivars have received considerable attention from researchers, however, Canada’s native wild haskap populations remain largely unstudied. This project aims to comprehensively analyze the metabolomic profiles of 150 wild Canadian haskap accessions maintained by the Fruit […]

This research collaboration explores the application of Chan-Lam coupling (expertise of the Schaper group) in mechanochemistry (expertise of the Jurca group) to explore new and more efficient preparation methods in drug development and production.

Dans les années 2000, la NASA et Boeing ont développé un concept d’avion à fuselage intégré, avec des moteurs positionnés au-dessus de la voilure, vers l’arrière de l’appareil. Cette configuration visait à réduire la traînée ainsi que le bruit perçu au sol lors des phases de décollage et d’atterrissage. Un avion en vol stable doit […]

The proposed project aims to investigate the pathway and mechanisms of the anaerobic biotransformation of the persistent organochlorine pesticide chlordecone (CLD). At the home institute, University of Toronto (Toronto, Canada), the intern has successfully identified a a trichloroethylene (TCE)-dechlorinating culture, KB-1, that can completely transform 1.5 mg/L (3.1 µM) of CLD within 200 days when […]

La cytométrie en flux est une méthode essentielle pour diagnostiquer les cancers du sang tels que les leucémies, les lymphomes et le myélome multiple. Elle permet d’identifier les types de cellules impliquées grâce à des marqueurs exprimés à leur surface. Actuellement, la préparation des échantillons est souvent réalisée manuellement, ce qui peut entraîner des erreurs […]

Le présent projet de recherche s’inscrit dans un mémoire de maîtrise en science politique. Il vise à analyser les enjeux entre firmes minières transnationales et peuples autochtones en Bolivie. Cette recherche a pour point de départ une contradiction importante. Elle réside dans l’adoption d’une des Constitutions les plus progressives et décoloniales en matière d’autodétermination autochtone […]

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe form of non-invasive brain stimulation that treats different brain conditions. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a TMS protocol that alters the underlying neural circuitry and is an FDA and Health Canada approved treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. How cTBS changes brain function remains unknown; however, understanding this mechanism […]

This project will study how male and female executives differ in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. I use the launch of ChatGPT as the big technological event to understand how executives communicate and discuss the adoption to generative AI. I then analyze how these differences affect how investors react in the stock market. […]

In the interest of sustainability, novel aircraft configurations such as the blended-wing-body (BWB) have garnered a great deal of attention for their potential to dramatically improve aircraft fuel efficiency. The BWB concept has been studied extensively using aerodynamic shape optimization to predict its performance benefits and study the key design features of the aircraft. In […]
