Personalized nutrition and dietary recommendation products claiming to improve health are moving faster than the underlying science. Existing tools for communicating healthy foods are available, but they are designed for public (not individual) health, can not incorporate diet history, and can not adapt to the user’s preferred health outcomes. We propose to implement and fine-tune […]

The Arctic is entering a digital age where web-based media acts as one of the main drivers behind ideologies and action, both in the north and beyond. In order to ensure that Arctic stories are driven by Arctic creators, northern youth are searching for opportunities to enter this journalistic space. To support their mission, the […]

Les enfants, adolescents et jeunes adultes font face à une crise environnementale qui semble restreindre leurs perspectives futures. Cela peut leur causer ce qui est communément désigné comme de l’éco anxiété. Il est toutefois important que cette jeunesse ne soit pas paralysée par ce sentiment anxieux, car si elle constitue une génération qui sera particulièrement […]

Le projet vise à évaluer la relation et le potentiel synergique entre la qualité de l’alimentation et la prise de médicaments contre l’hypertension dans le contrôle de la pression artérielle. Ce projet mettra en évidence la qualité des soins pharmaco-nutritionnels au Québec en plus de fournir des preuves uniques sur les bénéfices associés à la […]

I research how film and media participate in juridical regimes stemming from the ocean space. In my doctoral thesis I analyze how the ongoing aestheticizing of the representation of the underwater nuclear weapon explosions not only invisibilizes the Indigenous experiences, but also how such visual regime is at odds with the urgencies of paradigmatic shifts […]

The archival fieldwork I will be conducting at the British Petroleum Archives will contribute to a larger doctoral dissertation, titled “Sites and Sights of oil: Archival Regimes of Extraction in Iran,” investigating the relationship between colonial archival practices of documenting the extraction of oil and the media and cultural infrastructures enabling this process. My research-creation […]

L’Organisation mondiale pour la Santé déclare que l’éclosion de la COVID-19 est une pandémie le 11 mars 2020. Depuis et au cours des vingt derniers mois, face à la propagation du virus et à la mortalité qui l’accompagne, le gouvernement du Québec a mis en place des mesures d’isolement sanitaire et de confinement impliquant pour […]

Neural rendering has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for creating novel views from a set of input images. Broadly speaking, neural rendering methods rely on a set of photographs for learning a representation of the underlying scene. The learned representation can subsequently be queried to generate images of that same scene from a viewpoint […]

In order to develop resilience-based earthquake civil infrastructures, a new seismic control system using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements is designed to implement into these structures. Such systems can improve the dynamic behavior of the civil infrastructures and provide their stability under seismic loads by dissipation of the energy, having the self-centering ability, high-deformability, and […]

This project aims to identify gaps remaining within the Canadian education technology sector. Although adoption of new technologies for the classroom in recent years have enabled greater collaboration between students and improved lesson planning procedures, it has also shone a light on the limitations of accelerated edtech adoption. The intern will spend her time analyzing […]

Conventional organic waste disposal adapts a linear waste-to-discharge treatment strategy, wasting the vast amount of resources and energy embedded in organic waste. With our innovative reactor design and operation, we have demonstrated significantly increased energy and resources recovery efficiencies under loading rates higher (2 times) than reported. Our products feature high flexibility and easy operation/maintenance, […]

Nanosized devices operating inside the human body open up new prospects in health care. On the one hand, molecular communication enables biological nanomachines to communicate by exchanging molecules and performing applicationdependent tasks. On the other hand, electromagnetic (EM) nano-communication points to the Terahertz Band (0.1- 10 THz) as the frequency range for communication among nano-biosensors. […]
