Detection of potential interactions of gold nanoclusters/nanoparticles in various biological environments with NanoSIMS (nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry)

At Western university, I have done lots of research for different sizes of gold nanoparticles/nanoclusters using different instruments (TOF-SIMS etc.) for characterizations of these gold nanomaterials. Dr. Per Malmberg group at Chalmers University of Technology, is an expert of TOF-SIMS (surface characterization method) and in addition NanoSIMS. Dr. Malmberg’s NanoSIMS (a better surface characterization method […]

The Ways of Absorption and Interpretations of Prajna and Nagarjuna’s Philosophy in Tian Tai Buddhism

Prajna and Nagarjuna’s Philosophy, whose main character is to dispel, eliminate, and integrate, has gained a new meaning structure after Tiantai Zhiyi’s interpretation. Judging from the appearance of the teachings, Prajna brings together the general teaching and other teachings, while the right teaching is the perfect teaching. In terms of insight wisdom, the wisdom of […]

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Hygrothermal Efficiency of Fully Bio-Sourced Building Materials Under Mechanical Loading

This project is a part of a collaborative research program between Canada and France, through a joint supervision thesis. The ongoing first phase in Canada involves utilizing a numerical simulation method, namely COMSOL software, to predict mass (water) and heat transfers through biobased building walls, with the incorporation of mechanical loading on the wall. However, […]

Investigating the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident E3 ligase RNF26 in endosomal regulation during mitosis

Eukaryotic cells have evolved complex sub-compartments to partition the cell interior into tiny contained 3D microenvironments. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) communicates with and regulates other intracellular structures, including the endolysosomal system, through membrane contact sites (MCSs). Dysfunction in endolysosomal spatial-temporal regulation is implicated in neurodegeneration, cancer, and metabolic disease. Recently, it was found that the […]
