My research explores a key challenge in United Nations (UN) peace operations: maintaining reliable consent from host countries. Consent from the host government is crucial for the UN to operate effectively, but this support often fluctuates. Some countries initially welcome UN missions but later restrict their activities or withdraw consent, which can disrupt peace efforts […]

This project investigates how different genes involved in DNA repair work together to keep cancer cells alive. We’re focusing on a specific process called translesion synthesis (TLS), which helps cells bypass damage in their DNA. By understanding these genetic interactions, we hope to identify new ways to target and kill cancer cells, especially those that […]

The main objective of this project is to offer efficient and commercially viable solutions for wireless power transfer to portable devices such as Recon’s wearable units. The first phase of the research is dedicated to determine pros and cons of various such techniques and the maximum power and distance for wireless power delivery to such […]

At WorkSafeBC, an overwhelming amount of data is being produced, particularly in conversation logs between people who have an active claim with WorkSafeBC and various practitioners with whom they have regular contact (usually over the phone). These records are transcribed into text and the information is far beyond what any analyst could possibly read and […]

This project focuses on improving the delivery of a therapeutic protein called ribonuclease (RNP) into cells, which could help treat certain genetic diseases. The challenge with current delivery methods is that the proteins often have trouble getting inside the cell and reaching the nucleus, where they are most needed. To address this, Sinedore Bioscience, in […]

Physical infrastructure designed and developed to enable this growth has been in place for 50 years or more, and an increasing proportion has reached the end of its design life. Taking dams for example, while the Canadian case is less well documented, 85% of U.S. dams will be >50 years old by 2020. In particular, […]

The project will develop a multifunctional and sustainable hybrid thermoplastic composite reinforced with asphaltene-based short carbon fibres (CF) and continuous natural fibres. The fibre-matrix interface of the hybrid material will be characterized through tensile and fracture toughness tests and its multifunctionality in terms of enhanced electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding will also be […]

The Global Emerging Leadership Program (GELP) is addressing a crucial gap in providing early leadership, career planning, and educational guidance to high school students (Grades 10-12). The problem GELP aims to solve is the lack of structured, accessible programs that support students in making well-informed decisions about their future education, career paths, and scholarship opportunities. […]

The Moose Hide Campaign is a nationwide grassroots movement in Canada dedicated to ending violence against women and children. Founded in 2011 by Paul Lacerte and his daughter Raven, the campaign originated from a hunting trip where they harvested a moose and decided to use its hide as a symbol of their commitment to ending […]

Les traits d’histoire de vie, ce sont des traits primordials qui déterminent la fécondité et la survie. La génétique, l’environnement et leurs interactions les affectent de grande ampleur. Mon projet met en évidence des traits d’histoire de vie des plantes : la dormance et la taille des graines. En utilisant des données climatiques, j’ai développé […]
