Dans un contexte de changements profonds du marché du travail, de perspectives plus incertaines pour la jeunesse et de restrictions budgétaires des programmes de jeunesse au Québec, l’étude proposée vise à observer et comprendre les transformations en cours dans les politiques de jeunesse-emploi sur une décennie (2015-2025), à travers l’étude de cas des Réseaux des […]

This project will investigate how mixtures of select cannabinoids affect different types of human and animal cell lines. As the use of cannabinoid-based products continues to rise in both Canada and Germany, there is a growing need to understand potential health impacts, especially when multiple cannabinoids are present together. By studying mixture toxicity rather than […]

Bacterial infections continue to cause a large number of deaths around the world, and the problem is getting worse as many bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics we rely on. New medications are urgently needed to successfully treat these infections. This project aims to address this need by discovering how certain bacteria are able to […]

Ce projet propose une approche intégrée, combinant modélisation mécanique et apprentissage automatique, afin d’estimer quantitativement la durée de vie en fatigue et de prédire la durée de vie restante (RUL) des matrices. La démarche repose d’abord sur le développement d’un modèle numérique par éléments finis (FEM) de la matrice, intégrant des chargements représentatifs des conditions […]

Quantitative LUS (Q-LUS) is a safe, real-time imaging tool that exploits the frequency dependency of imaging artifacts to extract biomarkers that characterize the lung disease. However, the direct relationship between Q-LUS biomarkers and the severity of lung injury remains insufficiently characterized. Without this grounding, Q-LUS metrics remain difficult to interpret and cannot be linked to […]

This project aims to improve how scientists use sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) to study past biodiversity in lakes affected by metal contamination. Sedimentary DNA preserved in lake sediments offers a powerful way to reconstruct long-term ecological changes, but high concentrations of trace elements can interfere with DNA preservation and detection, making results difficult to interpret. Through […]

Transportation policy is already a health policy because the air we breathe along roads is shaped by what we drive and how we move. In 2026, Canada and the US’s renewed push for electric vehicles (EVs), which can also become an immediate public health opportunity. Yet health benefits are not automatic, because “zero tailpipe” from […]

My project will develop and pilot a practical framework to evaluate one clinical AI tool across three areas at the same time: how well it works, whether it works equally well for different patient groups, and what its environmental impact is. I will use the University of Melbourne’s Validitron simulation facility to test the tool […]

The St. Lawrence Platform in southern Quebec is a series of Cambrian-Ordovician (539-443Ma) sedimentary rocks containing K-bentonites, altered volcanic ash beds. These ashes have zircon and apatite, minerals that are difficult to alter, retain the original characteristics of the ashes and can provide distinct chemical fingerprints associated with separate eruptions. The presence of bentonites in […]

This project will compare how Canadian and Chinese primary and secondary schools teach students aged 10-15 to develop global competence, understand and engage with the world. By observing classrooms in China and conducting a document analysis of the Ontario curriculum, the research aims to identify the most effective teaching methods from each context. The primary […]

This study examines the intersections and overlapping knowledge between Irish folklore, understandings of landscape and lived realities, and historical sources concerning communities in north county Cork. With an eye to contemporary statements that claim a need to build a “Irish Forest-Culture”, this project aims to investigate the historical and cultural roots of what that might […]

This project explores how young people in the global South, especially young women and girls, are taking active roles in addressing climate change and gender inequality. It focuses on youth groups and networks in the Caribbean and looks at how they bring gender concerns into climate action in ways that can open new paths for […]
