A new collaboration between l’Institut de Recherche sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon (IRCELYON) and the Catalytic & Plasma Process Engineering Laboratory (CPPE) at McGill is being established. The project aims to utilize dual functional materials (DMFs) for (1) CO2 capture, and (2) subsequent CO2 hydrogenation to methane (CO2 methanation). We intend to couple […]

Frozen clay soils comprise a large portion of permafrost in Canada. Long-term records indicate ongoing global warming has resulted in the thawing of portions of the permafrost area, which leads to the extensive settlement of the ground surface and causing damage to infrastructures. Pipelines are buried below the ground to avoid failure because of the […]

My project conducts a cultural history of the postwar period in North America, by investigating experimental cinema’s entanglement within a network of interdisciplinary and multimedia experimentations. Specifically, I focus on the interactions of filmmaker Stanley VanDerBeek with two interdisciplinary projects that were conceived as investigations on the interrelation of art, new media, technology, and anthropology: […]

This internship will explore the ways in which a learning ecosystem model could be used to improve the K-12 learning experience in the Livingstone Range School Division, located in Alberta.

The Highbanks Society, located in Calgary, Alberta, provides long-term, safe, affordable housing and social programs that provide security, stability, and eliminate barriers to growth for pregnant or parenting women between 16-24 years of age. This internship will assess the impact of the current Highbanks Society housing program ‘Homes for Heroes’ and identify opportunities for expansion, […]

Cellulose as the most abundant natural polymer is produced is produced by trees, and some microorganisms. Certain types of aerobic bacteria such as Gluconacetobacter xylinus are able to biosynthesize a unique extracellular form of this polysaccharide, known as bacterial cellulose (BC). However, Similar to other nanocelluloses, BC exhibits properties such as insolubility in common solvents […]

Ce mémoire entrant dans le cadre de l’obtention de l’examen d’Etat allemand (équivalent de la maitrise) au sein de l’Université de la Sarre (Allemagne), je souhaite réaliser une étude comparée de droit français, européen et canadien. Lors de ma recherche de sujets, j’ai été particulièrement intéressé par le principe de sécurité juridique, qui ne cesse […]

The development of an educational learning tool in the form of a mobile and desktop game. Intended to be accessed by people who do not have ready access to a consistent education due to factors varying from poverty to gender discrimination. The learning tool will allow users to learn at their own pace in an […]

As a Cansbridge fellow, the intern will research and develop reports related to global educational pedagogy and strategic business plans for educational technology companies to promote innovation in the EdTech industry in Canada. The intern will work alongside a managerial team and relevant stakeholders within an EdTech company to develop a strategic business plan for […]

Tyrosinase is an enzyme involved in the production of melanin, the polymeric molecule that gives us the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. The inhibition of tyrosinase’s activity is a great interest in treating diseases and conditions associated with hyperpigmentation. Tyrosinase also exists in fruits and vegetables, where it is involved in unwanted enzymatic […]

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new class of materials, which gained significant attention from the scientific community in the past 10-15 years. The interest in MOFs is mainly due to their unique properties, which include tunable structure, large surface area, extensive porosity, and a high degree of crystallinity. Because of these characteristics, MOFs have […]

The education system is rapidly evolving due to technological and societal change that have been brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes have contributed to the demand for technological infrastructure to help address these evolutions (OECD, 2020). With the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators, guardians, and students have been forced to adapt to […]
