The generation and supply of energy is the largest anthropogenic source of CO2 and thus contributes significantly to climate change and the associated global consequences. As a result, a reduction of CO2 emissions in energy generation and distribution is an unavoidable key issue that must be addressed. In this research project, the main focus is […]

Immediately after birth, female mammals possess around 1 milion of gamete cells (oocyte). However, less than 1% of this pool will become a fertilizable oocyte. Part of this occurs due to a natural process of selection during development. During the oocyte’s growth phase, they must undergo a process of cytoplasmic maturation, where they accumulate proteins, […]

This project is related to #IT24812 and this is phase 2 of that project. After the success of my first BSI project with the Higher Learning Foundation (HLF), we have decided to continue applying for the program to expand the positive impact we have on the mental well-being of our community. HLF is a registered […]

An emerging imaging modality for breast cancer screeing is Ultrasound Computer Tomography (USCT). The thereby used image reconstruction techniques result in special requirements for the ultrasound transducers. At the University of British Colombia, a novel fabrication technology was recently presented. This technology allows the realization of polymer-based Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer (CMUT), whose properties match […]

The goal of this project is to investigate the direct harms to science wrought by structural racism and the benefits derived by the inclusion of women and minoritized people of color in the scientific workforce. Specifically, this work seeks to (a) quantify the participation of marginalized individuals in the production of science, (b) elucidate the […]

This project learns from the experience of participants in an eight-week Mind-Body Medicine program (MBM). Mind-Body Medicine (MBM) teaches people how to help themselves by uncovering and engaging their inner resources and building resilience, broadly understood.

Since 2010, Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School (KGMS), a private K-12 school on the North shore that serves children with learning differences, has worked in collaboration with design students from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECU). Over the last three years graduate interns have engaged with this partnership, working with Anji Dawson, Counselor and […]

My main project is the conceptualization, creation, and continuous refinement of my Digital Marketing Masterclass workshops. These workshops are designed to further educate and empower the C-suite, senior technical and strategic management, and the employees of “digital-forward” businesses. There is a huge gap in education currently with regards to what is available for current and […]

L’objectif premier de cette étude vise à étudier le devenir, à l’intérieur d’une cellule dérivée de globules blancs sanguins, d’une protéine (appelée récepteur) qui joue un rôle important dans la progression de l’athérosclérose. Comprendre comment cette protéine circule dans la cellule et comment cette circulation peut être modulée par des médicaments anti-athérosclérotiques potentiels (les azapeptides) […]

Comment rendre compte d’une expérience collective à partir de l’écriture de l’intime ? Telle est la question qui hante la lecture des œuvres de Simone de Beauvoir, de François Bon, d’Annie Ernaux, de Georges Perec et de Mathieu Riboulet. En entrecroisant leur mémoire personnelle à la mémoire collective, ces auteurs et autrices consignent une expérience […]
