Quantification of biomolecular interactions

The aim of this project is to develop novel optical and microfluidic methods to extract quantitative metrics from biological interactions. Such quantitative information will be used to understand biophysical processes – such as binding of antibodies to a cell or tissue surface as well as improving decision making in diagnostic pathology. Towards these aims, we […]

Stochastic Control in Network Coding Enabled Wireless Systems Year One

Network stochastic control is considered as a primary goal in the design of emerging wireless networks. One of the objectives in the stochastic control of wireless networks is to enable crosslayer designs to achieve stochastically optimal resource allocation in the physical and MAC layers. Different stochastic performance criteria can be considered in the optimal control […]

Apprentissage professionnel en situation de travail des enseignants: comparaison internationale

Le développement professionnel des enseignants est reconnu comme un levier incontournable d’amélioration des systèmes éducatifs. Après des décennies de recherches consacrées à l’apprentissage par la formation, l’apprentissage « informel » (Kyndt et al., 2016; Lecat et al., 2020) ou « au et par » le travail (Bourgeois & Mornata, 2012) occupe dorénavant le centre de […]

Application of stochastic optimal control on a back somersault

The creation of innovative acrobatics is difficult for coaches due to the interaction of physical principles involved in simultaneous rotations on multiple axis. Numerical simulation can be useful to generate acrobatics without involving supplementary risks for the athletes. However, the accuracy of the simulation is important if we want athletes to try the new techniques […]

Day-night MOF- based TiO2/WO3 photocatalyst for CO2 reduction

Climate change caused by accumulative CO2 emission (due to the rapid development of human industry) has become an imminent threat to human beings as witnessed by the more and more frequent reports on sea-level rising, storm, and wildfire. The close-loop CO2 recycling, including CO2 capture, storage, and utilization has thus attracted enormous attention from researchers […]

Combined Building Integrated PV/Thermal (BIPV/T) Collector with Two-stageVariable Capacity Air Source Heat Pump for Net-Zero Energy Building Applications Year One

Building Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPV/T) systems are arrays of photovoltaic panels integrated into the building envelope facades and roofs that produce electricity and incorporate the additional function of recovering useful thermal energy. The energy can be used for space, domestic water heating or air conditioning. Recuperating heat from the BIPVjT system improves electrical efficiency and reduces […]

Dynamique de l’agenda: Une étude comparative sur l’attention politique en Argentine et au Brésil

Les dirigeants politiques ont une capacité limitée à prêter attention à plusieurs sujets en même temps tandis que les médias agissent comme un signal de l’importance des problèmes saillants d’une société donnée. Par conséquent, les médias influencent souvent fortement le choix des thématiques devant être intégrées à l’agenda politique. Ainsi, la littérature a montré qu’il […]

Préférences hétérogènes des investisseurs, attention limitée et frictions du marché en matière d’investissement durable.

L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est d’apporter de nouvelles connaissances sur la rationalité des investisseurs vis-à-vis de la “durabilité” que nous avons définie au regard des critères environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance (ESG). Une meilleure compréhension des goûts et de l’attention des investisseurs pour l’information ESG aidera le marché à intégrer ces informations et […]

On Chinese Philosophy and Memory: A Thesis Project Examining Chan Buddhism Recollection, Ritual, and Narrative

I am a third-year Masters of Fine Arts candidate at the University of British Columbia School Of Creative Writing, and am working on my novel with Annabel Lyon ([email protected]), exploring familial connections, memory, and Chan Buddhism in a story where time is a fluid entity, ultimately examining and combining Chinese Philosophical concepts with non-linear narrative […]
