I want to master the modern mathematical theory of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick and related spin glass models. The field spin glass models originate in theoretical statistical physics. After learning current results, I plan to start working on some open problems, such as in the setting of the diluted Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model, which is not completely understood today. […]

During my research, I want to evaluate the Chinese high school mathematics system. Looking at the mathematics curriculum in China and comparing it to Canada. Doing this will help my research connect the two curriculum to see what works and what is different. While doing this assessment, I want to also look at the teaching […]

Approximately nine million Canadians live with vision loss that, even when wearing corrective lenses, impedes their ability to perform everyday tasks. Canadians with vision loss are at greater risk of social isolation and reduced community participation. Vision loss rehabilitation (VLR) is a multi-disciplinary service that includes orientation and mobility training, independent living skills and low […]

Accommodations are an essential part of education for students with differing needs. In order for many students to reach their full potential and to succeed in education, there are a variety of different accommodations that the Canadian school system provides to help support students. This research will explore how the Chinese education system supports students […]

My research proposal is to explore the instrumental music curriculum and pedagogy in China, and compare it with Canadian instrumental music curriculum through observation in Chinese schools. Moreover, I will be learning the cultural and historical context of Chinese music education to integrate what I have learned into the Canadian education system as a future […]

The proposed research project will primarily make participant observations in Chinese schools and classrooms to study the role of nutrition and health education in China. The observations will be used to make connections and aid in reciprocal learning with Canadian schools. Ontario education places a strong focus on diversity in classrooms. Being able to observe […]

The Health and Physical Education (HPE) programs of Chinese schools will be analyzed and compared to that of schools in Canada. To do this, there will be three primary areas of focus. Firstly, the Chinese philosophical approach to physical education will be examined. This includes the sports, games, dances, and other exercises that are taught […]

NanoDendrix™ is a completely natural form of glycogen, sourced and produced from plants by a patented green process developed in Guelph, Ontario. Recent studies have revealed many valuable properties and performance characteristics of NanoDendrix, such as its antimicrobial effects, which have wide-ranging implications for clinical use. The proposed internship will evaluate NanoDendrix for use in […]

Cerebral Palsy(CP) is a brain developmental disorder and a major cause of chronic childhood disability. It affects about 2 to 2.5 children per 1000 live births. Children with CP have varying symptoms affecting communication, health and specially mobility depending on the severity of the disorder. Children with severe CP usually have very limited mobility and […]

The focus of the project is to develop an packet-optical network resource optimization model that minimizes the total network cost across IP-optical platform while meeting the following requirements: (i) Offers full protection from any network node and link level failure. (ii) Ability to handle large scale networks and traffic demand (i.e., network scalability). (iii) Meets […]

Water loss through background leakage in water distribution systems is increasingly plaguing municipalities. As the cost of energy to treat and transport water steadily rises, and the scarcity of fresh water in communities becomes more prominent, action to replace deteriorating water infrastructure is critical. The proposed research aims at providing water utilities a cost-efficient method […]

The central research question of this project is: how does the normalization of voice-controlled technology in domestic space change the meanings attached to home? The project will focus specifically on Amazon’s Alexa-enabled smart speakers by analyzing how online discourse surrounding the device and software impacts understandings about traditional domestic values, such as privacy and the […]
