L’enjeu de cette recherche est double : approfondir la compréhension scientifique des mortiers intégrant des sables recyclés et adjuvants compensateurs de retrait et identifier les conditions (type et dosage d’adjuvants) permettant d’obtenir des performances comparables aux mortiers traditionnels. Le manque actuel de connaissances, combiné à la sévérité des normes en vigueur, freine encore la commercialisation […]

The proposed project studies the vibration behaviour of innovative mass timber floor systems, focusing on cross-laminated timber (CLT) floors supported by CLT beams and timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors with notched connections. Using laboratory testing and numerical modelling, the research aims to enhance the understanding of how these floors respond to dynamic loads, including the effects […]

Le traitement du cuir requiert l’utilisation d’éléments chimiques et naturels, qui au cours du processus, permet d’assouplir, ternir et colorer les peaux animales. La disposition des retailles de coupe contamine le sol environnant. Certains composés sont toxiques pour la santé telle que le chrome et l’alumine, possédant des propriétés cancérigènes et mutagènes. Il est proposé […]

A Hôi An, une ville vietnamienne au développement touristique très important, la place des activités traditionnelles est aujourd’hui remise en question, notamment en ce qui concerne l’agriculture et la pêche. Ces activités profitent parfois de l’essor touristique à travers le développement d’un nouveau marché, mais subissent aussi les contraintes de l’afflux de touristes. La recherche […]

During the last couple decades, agricultural practices have increased in intensity to meet the growing needs of economic growth and population growth in Vietnam. Increased livestock production, management of human and animal waste, hormone and antibiotic residues from humans and livestock present human and environmental health concerns. The risks of agricultural intensification to human health […]

This MITACS project between the University of Waterloo (UW, host supervisor: Prof. Na Young Kim) and Yonsei University (YU, home supervisors: Prof. Jong-Souk Yeo and Prof. Chae-Yeun Park) aims to develop a room-temperature exciton-polariton quantum simulator. The room-temperature system can contribute to solving a complex many-body problem, since it does not require cryogenic cooling that […]

One of the biggest mysteries in modern physics is “dark energy”. This strange form of energy makes up over half of our Universe and is causing space to expand faster and faster. Even 30 years after its Nobel Prize-winning discovery, we still have no clear idea what dark energy actually is. Scientists have come up […]

Plants are not passive bystanders, they sense their surroundings and react to threats through chemical and vibrational cues. A key example of this is when a plant detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by neighboring plants that have been damaged by herbivores. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), a subset of VOCs released in the atmosphere, are […]

Biodiversity conflicts considering human-wildlife interactions have usually been addressed in regard to the impacts of animals on human beings or properties and, conversely, of humans on animals, with the ultimate goal of reducing those impacts. However, this has rarely lead to long term conflict resolution, which suggests that conflict management should reside further than in […]

My research project presents a unique perspective on the Turkish experience of modernity from the side of the discredited, disavowed and repressed, and thus contributes to a better understanding (and to a better identification of the failures) of the modernization in Turkey that predominated much of the twentieth century. It does this through an exploration […]

The project is part of a thesis that investigates logic of classification embedded in advanced data analytics and automated decision-making tools (and, now “AI”), implemented to determine Canada’s temporary resident visa applicants, which involves sorting applicants for risk, inadmissibility, ineligibility, and illegality.
