The project “My UKRainian World” aims to create, pilot test and revise educational video resources for learners and speakers of Ukrainian, whose first or primary language is not Ukrainian. It will attempt to bring Ukrainian language video resources on par with other international languages. The current phase of the project consists of: an analysis of […]

This project will explore the strengths of one existing Indigenous-led school-based ecocultural restoration program, PAPAKEN HAUTW, and support the program in dreaming and designing of a larger and more sustainable youth land stewardship/land-based learning program within the tribal school where it is currently housed and beyond, to the community and Greater Victoria School Board-SD61.

The overall goal of the project is too improve the precision of CMS, a detector used in particle physics experiment. The project will focus on two aspects: improving photon and electron detection and improving jet detection (a shower of particles). In the detector, multiple particles are detected at the same time. Photons and electrons are […]

The project attempts to document two visual traditions- Ahoi Asthami and Dev Uthan Ekadashi conducted by and for Haryanvi Indo-Canadian women which happens only once a year, is fast changing due to rapid modernization by offering an ethnographic study and subsequent translation in Canada. An extensive literature review revealed an almost complete lack of theoretical, […]

CoDES est un projet de recherche mené dans la ville de Québec qui vise à mieux comprendre les quartiers dans lesquels grandissent les jeunes enfants. Nous nous intéressons aux caractéristiques de ces quartiers qui aident ou nuisent au développement de la naissance à 5 ans. Pour obtenir un meilleur portrait global de la situation, nous […]

Optogenetics is a new and rapidly growing field of bioengineering that allows to control physiological functions of genetically modified cells using light. Applying this novel technique in cardiac applications opens the door to the development of the next generation of cardiac devices, such as contactless implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). A challenge with the potential use […]

Lighting is one of the largest demands on the global electricity supply at nearly 20%, meaning that a small change to more efficient lighting technology can have an outsized impact on our environmental footprint. Current research into efficient lighting technology is focused on third-generation organic light emitting diodes that emit light through thermally activated delayed […]

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are a promising solution to addressing climate change, as they can produce emission free energy on demand using hydrogen as fuel. Despite their benefits, many challenges remain in the way of widespread commercialization of these devices. Specifically, components such as the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and catalyst coated membrane (CCM) […]

Current manufacturing processes for fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials are slow and rely heavily on manual intervention for quality control. The in-situ manufacturing of thermoplastic composites using Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) eliminates secondary thermal processing, which leads to decreased manufacturing times and cost. However, to reach an industrial implementation, we must improve our understanding of the […]

Prosocial behavior is essential for a functioning society. Although studies show an early onset of prosocial behaviors, there is no comprehensive theory on its development and underlying mechanisms. The visit to Dr Dunfield’s lab, which will be made possible with the help of the GRA, is embedded in a superordinate research project with the goal […]

We will use the recently developed Belgian indices of multiple deprivation (BIMDs) in combination with all-cause and cause-specific mortality data to investigate the SE inequalities in longevity indicators. Our main goal is to compare the levels and trends of life expectancy, median and modal ages at death across geographical areas in Belgium with different deprivation […]

The objective of this research project is to combine different forms of user feedback mechanisms (haptic, olfactory, force, auditory) to better recreate simulated environments and increase the impact of extended reality (XR) training platforms for both users and collaborative robots. As such the research question that is being investigated during the research project is: How […]
