Many thermal power plants, including Bruce Power, rely on once-through cooling using water from the Great Lakes. The warmer water that is released back into the lake has the potential to impact temperature sensitive aquatic species that occupy the near shore water close to the discharges. The proposed research will investigate the genetic population structure […]

We are making an active video game to give kids who have Cerebral Palsy a fun way to practice therapy movements. Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects 1 in 400 people from birth. It can make it difficult to use your hands to do things like buttoning up your shirt. In partnership with Paris-Saclay University in France, […]

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has launched a series of pilot Sustainable Neighbourhood Retrofit Action Plan (SNAP) projects in the Greater Toronto Area. Dillon Consulting is a lead consultant in Phase 3 of one of the pilot projects, the County Court SNAP in Brampton, Ontario. The SNAPs bring together residents, businesses, community groups and […]

This project is about understanding the culture and practice of nurses in the city of Niteroi, Brazil in the context of community health with women, children, and youth. The data collection will involve my personal observation of nurses practices with their clients, meetings with staff and decision makers, as well, as health and professional authorities. […]

As a result of climate change and human-mediated movement of plants and animals, the establishment of invasive species is increasingly prevalent, with global economic and environmental consequences. Establishment in a new habitat requires successful reproduction in novel environments in the short-term, and successful invasion requires local adaptation in the long-term. Thus, invasive populations may initially […]

Canadian children are currently not meeting the daily amount of physical activity recommended to reduce their risk for negative health outcomes. The RA Centre in Ottawa, Ontario has the resources to offer various sport opportunities to children and recognizes the need to develop programs that are developmentally appropriate and accessible for children with lower physical […]

Combining semi-structured interviews of plastic surgery doctors and individuals interested in plastic surgery as well as content analyses of magazine and newspaper articles on plastic surgery, this research aims to inductively examine the intersubjective production of meaning among South Korean individuals in the context of the nation’s massive plastic surgery trend. To this end, this […]

Today, optical imaging technologies are used extensively for a wide range of advanced medical imaging, diagnostics, and therapeutics applications. While current state-of-the-art pupil engineering has examined diverse mask types to enhance these imaging capabilities, binary phase masks (BPMs) have been suggested as the superior filter for achieving enhanced axial and transverse beam properties, offering the […]

Intravertebral disc degeneration is a common debilitating condition for which there is no cure and leads to back pain and disability. In order to provide sustained pain relief, research is investigating the use of local cell transplantation into the disc. However, many current cell delivery strategies suffer from low cell retention and survival following injection […]

In my proposed PhD project I will interrogate privilege at the nexus of sport, tourism and issues surrounding race, class and gender. There is a new trend emerging in sporting tourism: martial art training camps abroad. Martial art training camps are now established in the places of origin of certain martial arts such as Brazilian […]

The “RESOLUTION: Resilient Systems for Land Use Transportation” is an ongoing project that focuses on the ways in which the impact of transportation infrastructure in terms of operation and provision leads to social and spatial segregation across major metropolitan regions across the World. My job would be to collaborate with Federal University of ABC to […]
