This project aims to enhance the surface durability of aluminum components used in industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and renewable energy, while maintaining aluminum’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant qualities. The research will employ a cost-effective coating method, low-pressure cold spray, to apply aluminum–alumina composite coatings, followed by friction stir processing to further improve their quality. […]

Women have a two-fold risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) compared to men, though the cause of this risk remains largely unclear. Several studies have proposed female-specific risk factors (such as menopause) and modifiable risk factors (such as circadian disturbance), that could contribute to the exacerbation of AD pathology and symptoms through inflammatory mechanisms in […]

This project aims to improve the delivery of omega-3 oils—nutrients that readily degrade during digestion, by developing soft liquid–liquid capsules that protect these oils as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. Initial formulation and testing will be conducted at the University of Waterloo, where capsules will be created to achieve high stability and controlled release. […]

Deep learning systems can predict properties of chemical substances but do so in a purely mathematical way. As a consequence, the user does not get any feedback on what are the essential properties a chemical must have to exhibit a certain property. This hampers getting any insight in to the relationship between molecular structure and […]

Nous sommes dans un contexte où un très grand nombre de données, souvent personnelles, sont produites et stockées à travers le monde. Chaque continent, et parfois chaque pays, possède ses propres lois encadrant la protection des données, comme le RGPD en Europe. Ainsi pour faire des calculs sur l’ensemble de ces données il faut utiliser […]

Among renewable technologies, wind energy offers some of the lowest levelized costs of energy in Canada and therefore holds significant potential to contribute to the nation’s clean energy transition. However, the large-scale deployment of wind energy in wind farms presents new challenges that are not encountered with standalone turbines. When downstream turbines operate in the […]

Research findings demonstrate that comprehensive sexual health education (CSHE) can reduce negative health outcomes and increase positive health outcomes. In order to be effective, CSHE must address the unique cultural, geographic, and social needs of youth. There are currently no studies that explore youth or educator sexual health education needs within the Yukon territory. SIECCAN […]

Le projet vise à étudier et mieux comprendre des commentaires anciens appelés scholies qui expliquent le poème latin La Guerre civile de Lucain. Ces scholies étaient utilisés dans les écoles de l’Antiquité pour enseigner la langue et l’histoire romaine. Le stagiaire recueillera ces textes, les analysera et les classera pour voir comment ils transmettaient le […]

L’allongement de l’espérance de vie s’accompagne d’un vieillissement croissant de la population, accentuant la pression sur les systèmes de santé par la perte d’autonomie et la diminution des capacités fonctionnelles. Ces limitations sont aggravées par les maladies chroniques, notamment cardiovasculaires. Parmi elles, l’insuffisance cardiaque, caractérisée par une réduction de la capacité du cœur à pomper […]

This project is a joint effort between Canadian and German research teams, combining the host supervisor’s knowledge of Ru-based polypyridine complexes and hydrogen evolution reactions with the home supervisor’s specialism in Cu(I) coordination chemistry. The partnership encourages the exchange of ideas and techniques, strengthening international networks and making progress in artificial photosynthesis.

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à étudier comment l’exercice physique et l’entraînement cognitif peuvent améliorer la santé du cerveau et la condition physique des personnes vivant avec une insuffisance cardiaque. La stagiaire participera à l’évaluation des capacités cardiorespiratoires, à la collecte et à l’analyse de données d’imagerie cérébrale non invasive (Doppler transcrânien et NIRS […]

This project will host a senior undergraduate student from the University of Colima, Mexico, for a 12-week research internship at Algoma University in Canada. The student will collaborate with professors and local students to design, develop, and test 3D virtual assistants for Virtual Reality (VR) environments that support the teaching of STEM subjects. Acting as […]
