The objective of my research in the Fillingham Lab at Ryerson University is to understand how genes works since it is a fundamental process and its failure is implicated in many diseases. Understanding how genes works has shown to have promising outcomes in the treatment of many diseases since this research can reveal novel drug […]

The aim of the thesis project is to explore the language behaviour and attitudes of Nahuatl communities in the face of language endangerment, and how they are contributing to the language maintenance and revitalization efforts.

Since the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows, bridge engineers are greatly concerned by the dynamic behavior of bridges under wind actions especially when designing long-span bridges, i.e., suspension or cable-stayed bridges. Considering that very long spans are planned such as the Messina Strait Bridge, a suspension bridge in Italy with a main span of 3.3 […]

Combating infectious disease pathogens is a pressing global health challenge. Due to limited treatment options, fungal pathogens pose a unique challenge, and are emerging as a leading cause of human mortality. Focusing on Candida albicans, the most common cause of fungal infections, our research project aims to understand how different genetic factors play a role […]

The goal of this project is to strengthen the capacity of Canadian civil society organizations (CSOs) working around the world to combat gender inequality. The Mitacs post-doctoral candidate, working closely with the Canadian Council of International Co-operation, a coalition of over 80 CSOs in Canada, will examine how different feminist approaches are applied in international […]

Advances in cloud computing have enabled the Computer-aided design industry to develop fully-synchronous, collaborative CAD. Synchronous CAD is unique in that it allows multiple users to manipulate the same CAD model at the same time, and saves changes in real time—much like a “Google Docs” document. These new design environments engender real-time collaboration and are touted to be the […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and for remediation of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life […]
