Migration is a fundamentally important behaviour for animals to optimize their ability to acquire valuable forage which varies in its availability through space and time. Several species have been shown to time their migrations to coincide with the flush of new vegetation growth as it emerges along their migratory route. Understanding how individuals cope with […]

Preliminary work has shown that adding excess CEACAM1-specific antibody, 26H7, to hela cells expressing carcinoembryonic-antigen-related cell-adhesion moleule (CEACAM) 1-4L decreases CEACAM1-4L in the plasma membrane and shifts their surface expression from a monomer-oligomer mix to mainly monomers. A super resolution microscope will be used to co-localize CEACAM1-4L with 26H7 in order to determine the optimal […]

Vietnamese is widely spoken by over 90 million people in Vietnam and around the world. The proposed project will be the first to study phonological awareness (PA) and reading outcomes in Vietnamese-speaking children. Phonological awareness is the ability to explicitly and/or implicitly manipulate small meaningful units of speech. Many studies with English-speaking children have found […]

To be safe and efficient, autonomous robots will need to consider and understand one another when performing their respective tasks. Communication and joint planning between robots might not be possible due to the number of robots, adversarial behaviors, or the lack of common protocol. In this project, we start by tackling this large issue at […]

Globally, viruses cause more than half of deaths recorded in humans. Thus, lots of scientific research is ongoing to prevent viral-related disease and death. In addition to known harmful effects that viruses can have, other research has shown that viruses may be beneficial. For example, mammalian reoviruses can destroy certain types of cancer cells without […]

This project will be a collaboration between the School of Interactive Arts at Simon Fraser University and Science World in Vancouver, British Columbia. A portable low-cost set of tools will be assembled to support “maker” activities, educational do-it-yourself building project that use electronics and personal fabrication technology. Personal fabrication technology refers to a new generation […]

The research project is focused on the relationship between cancer and telomeres. It is intended to be a functional investigation of the dynamics of TERRA, a long non coding RNA transcribed at telomeres, and hTR, the telomerase RNA subunit, in human cancer cells. TERRA is an important molecule implicated in telomere maintenance and genome stability. […]

Ce projet de recherche, en cours, est mis en place en concertation avec les principaux acteurs de la filière laitière québécoise principalement les producteurs bovins, le ministère de l’agriculture, les chercheurs de la faculté de médecine vétérinaire et l’association des médecins vétérinaires praticiens du Québec. Le but de ce travail est d’améliorer les connaissances sur […]

The National Engineering Research Center for E-learning in Central China Normal University is a pioneer research center in the field of education, and we have theories and tools of education and education informatization assessment in the field of learning and education. One main objective for our group is to effectively design students’ assessment criteria of […]

Schubert calculus is a well-established area of modern geometry that studies configurations and intersections of linear subspaces. Since its invention more than a century ago, it became one of the fundamental tools in different areas of mathematics, physics and computer science that deal with solving various types of linear equations. A typical question which is […]

The research conducted in Montreal focuses on studying the role of the European Union (EU) in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) through an innovative outside-in mapping. Three dimensions of the EU’s role are examined: its environmental ambition, leadership and diplomatic activity. The project is innovative because of a twofold reason. First, counterbalancing the literature’s […]

I will be working with Associate Professor Dr. Sasha Dall from Exeter University, who is a well-known Mathematical Ecologist. He and his lab are using game theory modeling to describe evolutionary outcomes. Although I often interact with mathematicians and economist at the U of C, I have been missing direct interactions with specialists in my […]
