Le séjour de recherche proposé par le financement MITACS est la possibilité unique de pouvoir pour pouvoir réaliser mon mémoire de fin d‘étude en droit franco-allemand à l‘endroit idéal. Cela me permettra d‘inclure une perspective du droit canadien dans mon travail. Celui-ci portera sur une « Étude comparative des systèmes de protection juridique des minorités […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

On January 25th 2019, Benoit Charbonneau and a team of volunteers attempted to construct a three-dimensional shadow of the omnitruncated dodecaplex, a four-dimensional geometric shape, built using Zometool pieces. Over the course of 14 hours, volunteers built and supported the prototype structure, which was ultimately disassembled as it could not support its own weight. Building […]

The aim of my PhD research project is to provide hand proprioception perception to users of robotic hand prostheses. To do so, we developed a system to convey information about the configuration and movement of artificial limbs via evoked sensations that target specific regions of the phantom hand, while involving no perceptible delay or surgical […]

Myringotomy is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the eardrum and a ventilation tube is placed in it to treat ear infections. The procedure is difficult to teach because it is one of the first operations that surgical residents in Otolaryngology learn. Moreover, the traditional apprenticeship training approach only allows […]

Mining affects communities and contributes to socio-ecological harms despite the proliferation of industry-led sustainability initiatives. These issues demand ongoing scrutiny given the intensification of ‘critical’ extractivism and its intersection with climate-change mitigation, action, and in/justice. The proposed project aims to interrogate the notion of sustainable mining as a source of ‘green’ jobs, community wellbeing, and […]

The University of Saskatchewan (Dr. S. Achenbach), intern Danyil Dmytriiev, and the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University in Ukraine (Dr. Mykhailo Derhachov)/Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, engage in a MITACS-funded research project to innovate microfabrication processes for diffractive X-ray optics. Fresnel Zone Plates (FZPs) are miniaturized focusing and beam shaping elements with nanometer […]

The aim of this research project is to explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in quantum technologies for computer network system scenarios. The hypothesis is that we can easily comprehend and utilize quantum algorithms to propose solutions for networks by leveraging Large Language Models technologies in specific tasks. Moreover, another interesting question that […]

The Georgian Bay Geopark is tasked with promoting and conserving the unique geological heritage of an important Canadian landscape, created over 2.5 billion years of geologic and environmental change. It is now in the process of being recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark on account of its international significance. This project investigates one of […]

PUBLIC was founded in 1988 by Public Access Collective, a Canadian charitable nonprofit organization committed to curating and producing innovative artistic research-creation projects and public interventions. Living Archives, Histories and Futures of Alternative Book Publishing is a research-creation project focused on developing PUBLIC Books and PUBLIC Online, including the further development of a more hybridized […]

This project focuses on creating interdisciplinary educational program within the energy field. The goal is to address the challenge of engineers struggling to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds – both within and outside of engineering. By integrating energy principles with business, political, and environmental considerations, this project aims to equip future engineers with […]

This project will support Propel Impact in engaging and building relationships with organizations advancing sustainable finance, impact investing, and ESG within British Columbia and beyond.
