The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) model allows for representation of the Nexus interactions between different sectors. Applied in Sustainable Development contexts, the CLEWs model enhances policy coherence and supports effective decision making. Over the last few years partners at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and Loughborough University (United Kingdom) have […]

The purpose of this project is to analyze the role of Argentine rural social movements in facing the advancement of right-wing conservative forces and ‘regressive populism,’ and in the establishment of a new hegemonic formation that can deepen democracy instead. It aims to analyze these movements’ socioeconomic, political, and cultural practices and their strategies for […]

Water and CO2 Electrolysis paves the way for clean storage for renewable and green energy/electricity. Water electrolysis being a well developed technology lays the groundwork for designing the CO2 electrolysers. In the recent years the research focus has, however, shifted from proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers to anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolysers, as AEM based […]

We are interested in the development of new technology that uses CO2 to make chemicals or next-generation fuels. Such technology would address concerns about curbing emissions and alternative fuel sources. Our objective is to investigate catalysts that can selectively and efficiently convert CO2 to CO, which is desirable because CO is a valuable commercial compound […]

The proposed project is part of a large-scale collaboration between SFU’s Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Institute (BCNI) and Fraser Health Authority(FHA) in the domain of AI applied to clinical electroencephalographic (EEG) scans recorded and evaluated in the process of diagnostic workup in FHA’s public hospitals (n>40’000). The key goal of the SFU/FHA collaboration is to […]

The current version of the Integrated Biomass Supply Analysis (IBSAL) model is deterministic. As such, the uncertainty surrounding the results obtained cannot be studied or quantified. The focus of this research project is to incorporate uncertainty into the model in order to make it more realistic, provide additional insights into its properties and potentially suggest […]

Underlying structure of distinct atomic nuclei shows similarities which have been of long interest to science. These similarities are caused by sets of principles, known as fundamental symmetries, which dictate physical properties, such as the rate at which nuclei decay. Recently, a new set of exotic symmetries has been discovered which lead to low decay […]

My doctoral work will leverage data from the AYAZAZI study, a longitudinal cohort study which assesses intersecting socio-behavioural, structural, and biomedical HIV risk factors among HIV-negative or HIV-status unknown youth in two South African communities, to examine the biological and psychological consequences of chronic stressors. This internship will be focused on community engagement and relationship […]

Dr. Iwnicki heads a world renowned research group in the field of vehicle track interaction and has authored many important pieces of literature which researchers rely on in their work. The Manchester Benchmark which Dr. Iwnicki publishes sets the standard in the quality and accuracy of vehicle dynamics simulation software that are widely used in […]

Children living with NDDs are often dependent on their parents and healthcare providers. As these children reach adolescence and prepare to transition from the pediatric to the adult health care system many issues affecting their autonomy are currently not being addressed. In addition to feature articles, sidebar articles with multimedia components will further examine these […]

The proposed research project to be undertaken involves the following two objectives: (1) Evaluate the effectiveness of prescribed burning as a management technique for maintaining native vegetation in the Chittenden Meadow, which has ecological and cultural importance. Continued long-term monitoring of the meadow, including assessing burn intensity, will help to increase our understanding of vegetation […]
