We will explore a low-carbon hydrogen pathway, i.e., renewable power-to-ammonia (P2A) production and distribution to connect the hydrogen economy between Canada and Germany. Ammonia is a commodity for fertilizer with mature production and distribution infrastructure. However, careful analyses are required to evaluate its potential as a hydrogen carrier for energy and trade. A combined techno-economic […]

To date, gut microbiome populations have been associated only with not beneficial choline metabolism, like those related to trimethylamine N-oxide formation. But in this research, it is hypothesized that other mechanisms must be involved in the fates of free choline released from dietary sources. To explore these microbial communities associated to beneficial choline metabolism rendering […]

In my doctoral research project, I will analyse infant and childhood feeding practices from three different medieval Italian sites (11th-14th centuries AD). These collections are housed at the University of Pisa where I propose to do my field work. The aim of my research is to test the hypothesis that gendered feeding patterns existed, which […]

Le projet porte sur le développement d’un procédé de dépôt de couches minces sur le bois et ces dérivés (contre-plaqué, etc) par l’utilisation d’un réacteur PE-CVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition). Le dépôt recherché aura pour rôle d’ignifugier et de ralentir la combustion du bois. L’étude s’orientera sur le comportement du réacteur de dépôt, sur […]

Les batteries lithium-ion sont du matériel de grande valeur à recycler. Elles ont des métaux critiques très attractifs actuellement. Le graphite en particulier occupe une place centrale dans cette démarche visant à appuyer la transition énergétique. La fabrication des batteries pour stocker les énergies propres repose en effet sur ce matériau qui entre dans la […]

The Learning Bar works with communities around the world to support childrens’ learning and well-being. Our assessments, programs and professional learning ensure educators know exactly what they need to do to support a child from pre-K through to graduation.

New Directions, Opikihiwawin mission is to provide cultural education, support and advocacy to indigenous adoptees, and people. The pandemic as well as a fire in their building has caused engagement to decrease. I think that this project will help Opikihiwawin by increasing their attendance, getting more people engaged and bringing back cultural support. The organization’s […]

The project will be done in the context of a collaborative project between Prof. Jorg Liebeherr (UofT) and Prof. Maryam Shojaei Baghini (IIT Bombay) on designing a low-cost, low-power irrigation control system, which seeks to address poverty and rural development in India. IIT Bombay has developed a sensor system, called Soilsens, for measuring soil conditions […]

Learning Systems are among the most popular e-learning tools in today’s education and training. Most e-Learning systems do not take into account individual aspects of learners (e.g., their goal, experiences, existing knowledge, learning style etc.).The primary goal of the proposed research is to offer rich adaptivity by combining information from a learner’s profile (e.g. levels, […]

Quantitative interpretation of magnetic data through inversion for general distributions of magnetic susceptibility has played an increasingly important role in mineral exploration in recent years. The goal of the proposed project is to develop efficient and robust computational simulation tools for the inversion of magnetization at a specified depth using ground/airborne magnetic data. A numerical […]

Sensory Friendly Solutions, a B Corp Certified, for-profit social enterprise is undertaking a project to improve accessibility and inclusion by establishing the pathways to deliver products and services to businesses and organizations that make them more sensory-friendly for their customers and their employees.

Burn wounds are one of the most common types of severe injuries worldwide and providing a dress to accelerate the wound healing process is a vital need. Among the materials could be used for wound dressing, pullulan, a microbial natural polymer, can be a nice candidate as an alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, pullulan’s affinity […]
