This Mitacs internship project supports the Cascadia Climate Resilience Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in British Columbia through cross-sector dialogue and collaboration. The Society convenes scientists, policymakers, practitioners, Indigenous leaders, and community organizations through initiatives such as the annual BC Climate Resilience Summit (BCCRS), building on […]

Mon projet vise à mieux comprendre ce que vivaient et ressentaient les soldats de la Grande Armée de Napoléon, au-delà des récits officiels centrés sur les batailles. À partir de lettres, carnets de campagne et journaux personnels, je constituerai un corpus de sources manuscrites conservées au Service historique de la Défense (archives militaires à Vincennes, […]

Le projet consiste à amorcer une décharge entre deux électrodes pointues. Pour cela, une impulsion de tension très brève est appliquée à l’aide d’un générateur. La décharge se produit dans un espace confiné dans lequel un aérosol est injecté. Un aérosol est défini comme une suspension de particules dans un gaz. Celui utilisé ici est […]

The Educator Experience is a Canadian-based professional development platform designed to support new and emerging post-secondary educators through online learning resources, applied training, and a nationally accessible podcast focused on educator experiences and practice. During Phase 1 (November–March), the project team completed foundational research, needs analysis, and strategic planning to design a private, membership-based podcast […]

This project explores how children may learn about nutrition not only through what they are taught but also through everyday school routines in Chinese and Canadian elementary schools. While Canadian schools often teach nutrition using guidelines such as the Canadian Food Guide, many Chinese schools provide daily hot lunches that may communicate unspoken messages about […]

This project explores how recess is organized and experienced in elementary schools, with a focus on the difference between structured and unstructured recess. By spending time in Chinese elementary schools, observing daily routines, and noting how students interact with each other during recess and how they transition back to the classroom, I aim to better […]

This project consists of testing new targeted therapies for glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain cancer with very limited treatment options. The research focuses on antibody–drug conjugates that specifically bind to VEGFR-1, a protein found at high levels on glioblastoma cells and in the tumor environment. Once bound, these antibodies deliver potent cancer-killing drugs directly to […]

À une époque qui discute abondamment de “concepts”, le projet de recherche vise à mieux comprendre ce que sont les concepts et la manière dont ils organisent la pensée et l’action d’un être pensant. Le projet s’appuie sur une interprétation de la philosophie de Hegel, en particulier sur l’idée selon laquelle un concept fonctionne comme […]

Understanding spoken language requires integrating multiple acoustic and physical properties of the speech signal into composite representations. This proposal is part of a larger international collaboration aimed at understanding how pitch—a fundamental property of language—is encoded in the brains of speakers across a wide range of languages (e.g., English, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese), each of […]

This 12-week research internship at the University of Ottawa hosts an MSc student from ENS Paris-Saclay, advancing research in mathematical aspects of quantum information. The project studies how algebraic structure and symmetry can simplify and certify quantum behaviours in non-local games, a core tool for device-independent cryptography. By translating game rules into algebraic objects and […]

Face aux bouleversements climatiques, les forêts du Québec sont appelées à évoluer. L’érable à sucre, emblème de notre patrimoine naturel et culturel, pourrait voir son aire de répartition migrer vers le nord dans les prochaines décennies. Pour accompagner cette transition, il est essentiel de comprendre comment cette espèce interagit avec son environnement, notamment avec les […]

Optimal nutrition is essential for normal growth and development throughout the lifespan. This includes fat-soluble vitamins (FSVs), A, D, E, and K given their key roles in promoting cardiometabolic and immune health. Chronic vitamin deficiencies are modifiable risk factors that contribute to chronic disease. Nutritional metabolomics is an emerging field of epidemiology involving the untargeted […]
