Towards Developing an Optimal Fluorescent Protein-Based Extracellular Glucose Biosensor

Optogenetics, or the process of controlling biological processes through light and specialized proteins, is a revolutionary technology that allows for remarkable scientific advancement. Metabolic processes in the brain, and the role of glucose, are under-studied, despite their connections to a wide range of debilitating diseases. Some fluorescent protein-based biosensors are available presently for optogenetic applications, […]

L’Architecture de la mémoire dans l’imaginaire stambouliote construitd’Orhan Pamuk

Ma recherche doctorale porte sur la représentation de la mémoire et de ses fragments au sein de l’espace urbain dans l’oeuvre romanesque et autobiographique de l’écrivain turc Orhan Pamuk, un des auteurs phares de la littérature mondiale contemporaine. La facture singulière de ses écrits repose sur le déploiement kaléidoscopique de la mémoire (individuelle, familiale, collective, […]

Field Measurements of Tsunami Evacuation Behaviour in Japan

This research project focuses on studying how a coastal community in Japan responds to a tsunami evacuation drill. The main goal is to understand and improve the community’s preparedness for such emergencies. The study will collect data through questionnaires, GPS tracking devices, and drone footage during a tsunami evacuation drill. The researchers will analyze people’s […]

Synthese d’alcaloides basée sur la chimie des thioimidates

Le projet a pour but de développer une approche synthétique de la céphalotaxine, un produit naturel anticancéreux. Ce produit naturel, bin que connu de longue date, n’a jamais été synthétisé sous forme énantiopure, et est utilisé via extraction de plantes source. Les études proposées viseront à définir une route d’accès synthétique à cette molécule naturelle […]

Roots of the Routes: Refugee Transnationalism from Turkey to Canada

This dissertation project will analyze the multi-angular process of refugee transnationalism in which different non-European refugee groups seeking asylum in Turkey where they are temporarily settled and protected. After having quasi protection from the Turkish state and living in-between conditions, those non-European asylum seekers are resettled to third countries such as the United States, Canada, […]

Fabrication and characterization of mixed matrix membranes toseparate greenhouse gases

Membrane separation processes have very low operating and maintenance costs in comparison to other separation technologies. The purpose of this project is to further develop the production of membranes that are suitable for capturing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. A membrane that is suitable for industrial applications is able to create a […]

Fresnel holography for radio characterization of meteoroid fragmentation

The project aims to create a Python software that helps us better understand meteoroids, which are small celestial objects originating from comets and asteroids. This tool will analyze signals from radio meteor echoes, focusing on how meteoroids break apart when they enter Earth’s atmosphere, a phenomenon known as fragmentation. By comparing the software output with […]
