After severe skin injury such as burns, our body rapidly but imperfectly repairs the damage, leaving behind a stiff scar. Scarring is a clinical burden because skin is losing vital functions. If scars form in internal organs, e.g., in the heart after myocardial infarct, the outcome can be lethal. During normal tissue repair, local fibroblasts […]

My research seeks to identify species that are valuable socially and ecologically to fishers in Chilika (a coastal fishing community in India). To achieve this, I will interview fishers from three ecologically diverse communities to ask what fish are important for (but not limited to) nutrition, livelihoods, culture, biological communities. I will observe how this […]

Ce projet analyse les liens qui lient les mouvements indépendantistes européens à l’Union européenne. Plus précisément, il s’agit de comprendre pourquoi les mouvements indépendantistes européens cherchent à protéger leur lien à l’Union européenne dans leur quête de souveraineté. Ce projet analyse donc les raisons stratégiques qui poussent le mouvement indépendantiste écossais à vouloir ramener l’Écosse […]

Création de projets guidés (études de cas) qui montrent les applications de la science des données dans fonction RH (people analytics) L’objectif est d’aider les entreprises à améliorer la compétence de leurs employé.e.s en Data et à bien les outiller dans la mise en place d’une stratégie IA/Data et de transformation numérique.

The Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) currently utilizes youth-centred educational programs as ways to share the importance of wildlife conservation. Their educational programs include information about local wildlife, their rehabilitation practices and demonstrate the impacts humans can have on wildlife and actions we can take to mitigate these impacts. It is important for youth […]

Depuis son institutionnalisation en 1970, la Francophonie n’a eu de cesse de faire évoluer ses caractéristiques identitaires. Elle est ainsi passée de centrer sur la France à une multitude de centres au sein de l’ensemble des pays francophones, et de culturelle à politique et diplomatique. Le projet de recherche s’attache alors à identifier, à travers […]

The quality of parent-child interactions is among the most important active ingredients of early language development. Many interventions, which vary in approach, content and format, focus on improving the quality of these interactions between children and their caregivers in order to promote early language development. Understanding the relationship between the characteristics of these interventions and […]

The overarching goal of my research is to investigate how the brain learns in order to develop brain-inspired learning algorithms that will reduce the computational cost for many machine learning applications. The standard learning algorithm (or learning rule) for training artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be extremely costly in terms of computation and storage, driving […]

Cette recherche a pour but de contribuer à la recherche sur la coopération internationale et plus précisément la coopération inter-organisationnelle dans le cadre des opérations de la paix en Afrique. Les conflits étant de plus en plus nombreux et complexes, la coopération inter-organisationnelle est devenue extrêmement sollicitée, multipliant la présence d’acteurs dans les régions affectées […]

The aim of this project is to assess the long-term impacts of transport poverty in Canada using mixed methods approach. Transport poverty is the combined effect of transport disadvantage (including but not limited to inadequate public transport options, poor public transport accessibility, not owning or having access to car, perception of safety) and various socio- […]

Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to compare the SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data available from the north American/Canadian SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in mink to the Danish SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in mink, and compare genetic similarities. Moreover, a secondary aim is to investigate the antibody response in relation to SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Canadian mink to […]

Plants are fundamental to the survival of humankind. They create the oxygen we breathe, provide the food we consume, and supply raw materials for numerous industries. We want to know how plants cope with stress. This requires a deep understanding of how plant tissues and cells react to stress cues, which includes understanding how proteins […]
