Semiconductors have been used in electronics for decades and are an integral part of every circuit. Because of this, evaluating semiconductor performance and tolerance in different environments is crucial. For example, evaluating a semiconductor’s radiation tolerance can be quite useful such as for the radiation detectors in the Large Hadron Collider and for the solar […]

The intention of the Arch-App is to create a mobile app that utilizes geo-location and augmented reality technologies to access data (including imagery, videos, and text) on building projects throughout the city in real time. The infrastructure of the Arch-App effectively provides users a resources (ranging from historic imagery to notable interviews) and tour guides […]

My proposed internship is part of a larger research project, my thesis. In my research, I present the first critical, academic discourse on Youval Shimoni’s body of work through an examination of the concepts and aspects of space in his works, and their relation to Israeli reality. In my thesis, Shimoni’s work is mapped for […]

Two-dimentional (2D) materials made of few atomic layers, bring unprecedented quantum properties from their extreme thickness. The possibility to stack layers from different 2D materials into heterostructures is one of the most active areas of research in quantum materials, bringing a wide parameter space for creating previously inaccessible quantum states and device geometries. This project […]

This project explores factors that affect the success of secondary school students in communities with relatively high newcomer and immigrant populations. This project aims to gain unbiased insight from the students themselves, focusing on what they identify as barriers and how they would like to be supported to overcome these barriers. The partner organization, The […]

Student self-assessment (SA) refers to a suite of classroom activities wherein students reflect on their own work, abilities, and learning processes. When tailored to students’ needs and systematically integrated in classroom instruction, SA activities cultivate students’ capacity to manage their own learning, making SA foundational for success in K-12 classrooms and dynamic environments beyond (e.g., […]

Compared to previous generations, Canadian children today are much more likely to be driven to school daily. This trend can be explained by various issues, including parents’ concerns about the hazards posed by traffic congestion in and around school sites. School Street initiatives are intended to make it easier for children to walk or roll […]

Ontario Soccer is a nonprofit organization whose board of directors and executive staff provide leadership and support for the advancement of soccer in collaboration and cooperation with membership, partners and other stakeholders by providing exceptional and sustainable programs and services. The Association is made up of 21 District Offices and several Associate Members namely regional […]

This project aims to form a collaboration between Queen’s University with AAVAA Inc. AAVAA is developing hearing aids with capability of attention detection decoding by recording and analyzing brain waves, which are recorded non-invasively through the skin around the ear and within the ear canal. One of the main components of this system contributing to […]

A nuclear reactor to a nuclear power plant is the same as the heart to a living human. Safe operation of the plant is directly related to the health of the reactor. Just as human heart where blood circulates through to deliver oxygen to the other parts of the body, coolant passes through the reactor […]

Pertussis or whooping cough is caused by the strict human pathogen B. pertussis or Bordetella parapertussis and is a highly contagious, potentially life-threatening respiratory tract illness when it occurs in unprotected infants. Despite the introduction of acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines and great initial success of the immunization program, pertussis outbreaks were reported in adolescents and […]

The built environment accounts for over one-third of annual global carbon emissions, with approximately one-quarter resulting from ‘embodied carbon’ that is released during the raw material manufacturing, transportation, construction and end of life phases of built assets. Given the continued growth in new build construction and the critical need to limit climate change, further analysis […]
