European Responses to China’s Support for Russia in its War against Ukraine: A Study of the Czech Republic, Poland, and the Baltic States

This research project is situated within the broader scientific context of international relations, security studies, and European foreign policy. In recent years, the geopolitical landscape has been significantly shaped by China’s increasing global influence and its complex relationships with both Russia and the West, and it changed even more drastically when the Russia has started […]

Investigating brain blood flow control in pre- and post-menopausal women

This project investigates how menopause influences brain function by comparing blood flow in pre- and post-menopausal women. Estrogen plays a crucial role in protecting the vascular system; however, as women transition through menopause and estrogen levels decline, the risk of diseases such as stroke and vascular dementia increases significantly. I will conduct research at Bangor […]

CO2/NH3 Bi-Direction Shipping between Canada and Asia

“Green shipping corridors” are being established globally, including interest in new cargos of hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The former is challenging to transport in neat form, making liquid organic carriers (LOCs) and ammonia (NH3) attractive forms for transport. Carbon sequestration sites are also being established for CO2 disposal, however many are located far […]

Évolution des conditions hydrologiques de la plaine du Haouz (Maroc) en lien avec le climat, l’anthropisation et les séismes

La région du Haouz (Maroc), abrite l’un des aquifères les plus importants du pays et joue un rôle essentiel dans l’agriculture, le tourisme et l’industrie. Cependant, les sécheresses récurrentes, aggravées par les changements climatiques, entraînent une surexploitation des eaux souterraines. La pression croissante exercée par les activités humaines met en péril l’équilibre hydrique de l’aquifère, […]

Integration of Speed of Sound imaging on 3D volume acquisitions of prostate specimen

Prostate cancer (PCa) cases are expected to double worldwide by 2040, making early and accurate detection essential. Currently, diagnosing PCa is challenging due to systemic biopsy procedures, which have a low sensitivity of 48%. To improve detection and diagnosis, the research group at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is developing advanced imaging techniques such […]
