People in prisons and on parole in Canada face extreme barriers to health, wellbeing and social belonging. However, there is limited research on the specific processes and outcomes of criminalization and incarceration, and gaps in understanding can lead to policies and laws that do more harm than good. Given this, this project will support partnership […]

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has emerged as an eminent technology to address today’s growing energy crisis and environmental issues. PEMFC technology faces multiple challenges before widespread commercialization. Water transport inside a PEMFC has a significant impact on the cell performance and durability. In this internship a numerical model is implemented to study the […]

Canada’s bioeconomy, utilizing renewable biological resources for producing materials and energy, holds promise for diversifying the nation’s economy. Pulp mills are integral to this shift, transforming wood fibers and residues into various high-value products, fostering innovation and sustainability. Key to this transition is understanding mill sustainability through life cycle assessment (LCA). However, there’s a notable […]

The proposed R&D project with Linkbase is focused on propelling Canada’s hospitality industry into the digital age. While the sector may be lagging behind counterparts in places like Asia that are leading the digitized hospitality space, this project aims to bridge that gap. By harnessing technology to connect locks and streamline digital check-ins, property managers […]

Phytopathogenic fungi secrete diverse enzymes to help them infect host plants. Foliar phytopathogens like Colletotrichum species, contain tandem copper radical oxidase (CRO) and peroxidase genes. The CRO-peroxidase pair is co-secreted during initial leaf penetration phases. The CRO oxidizes long-chain alcohols found in the leaf cuticle while the peroxidase activates the CRO. We discovered that the […]

Ice seals are considered bio-indicators of the Arctic ecosystem health, yet little is known about how they have responded both horizontally and vertically to seasonal and annual changes in the Arctic ecosystem. As the Arctic continues to lose ice, this study examines future consequences of these ecosystem changes on the Arctic hooded seals. This study […]
