Ce projet de recherche vise à évaluer la motivation à réviser d’élèves du premier secondaire dans un contexte de dictées numériques et manuscrites. Les dictées numériques seront réalisées par l’entremise d’ÉvadiGraphe, qui est un outil numérique permettant la réalisation de dictées diagnostiques offrant une rétroaction simultanée et détaillée sur les types d’erreurs orthographiques. Le projet […]

Dabbawala Kingston: Delivery Stories explores contemporary challenges around migrant labor and study abroad. This research-creation documentary film shines a light on a recent development in Canada and the world more generally: migrants laboring in service work on student visas. Our investigation of this nexus through documentary film allows Dabbawala Kingston to also tell the multi-faceted […]

This project aims to critically analyze the Erba Massacre case, in which an Italian couple, Rosa Bazzi and Olindo Romano, were convicted of murder but may have falsely confessed to the crime. Many experts believe their confessions were influenced by a combination of psychological factors and problematic police interviewing techniques. By examining case materials such […]

The use of large data sets in today’s world necessitates robust methods for classifying data. Topological data analysis (TDA) studies the shape of data collected in a geometric space. It has been applied to numerous data analysis problems, from glass manufacturing to cancer research. TDA involves examining the data at different distances. TDA constructs a […]

Cooperative robotics in soft tissue surgery represents an innovative approach aimed at improving surgical precision, control, and safety. Soft tissue procedures are challenging due to the delicate, deformable nature of tissues and the close proximity to critical structures, requiring exceptional accuracy to avoid complications. Cooperative robotic systems are designed to work directly alongside surgeons, amplifying […]

This collaborative project, involving the University of Saskatchewan and Université de Lorraine in France, seeks to advance our understanding of bioplastics—environmentally-friendly materials made by combining polymers with natural fibers like flax or hemp. Our aim is to develop models that can predict how these materials behave under different conditions. By studying the small-scale structures of […]

In 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 76/255, hailing the bicycle as a form of sustainable transportation, recognizing “that the bicycle can serve as a tool for development and as a means not just of transportation but also of access to education, health care and sport” (UN General Assembly, 2022, p. 2). Indeed, […]

Design skills are increasingly recognized as a core competency for software professionals. Unfortunately, these skills are difficult to teach because design requires freedom and open-ended thinking, but new designers require a structured process to keep them from being overwhelmed by possibilities. Students need clearly communicated expectations and an easy way of tracking responsibilities to keep […]

The “Student Exploration Advancements” project aims to enhance the student experience on Xello, a popular platform that helps students explore careers and plan their educational paths. By improving features like student feed content, career and school exploration, and data-driven insights, the project will make it easier and more engaging for students to discover relevant information […]

This collaborative research initiative between Academy of Learning (AOL)—a prominent Canadian Private Career College offering diploma and certificate programs in healthcare, business, and technology—and WIMTACH-CEDA aims to address AOL’s operational inefficiencies related to data management and decision-making. Currently, AOL’s reliance on disconnected third-party systems for critical functions like student registration, admissions, financial reporting, and compliance […]

Neurons are like electrical wires that help the brain communicate with itself and other parts of the body. If broken, this ability is impaired, leading to reduced sensation and or motor function. Neurons in the mature mammalian central nervous system (CNS) don’t grow back after injury due to cellular, biochemical and physical barriers. Currently, there […]

My research explores a key challenge in United Nations (UN) peace operations: maintaining reliable consent from host countries. Consent from the host government is crucial for the UN to operate effectively, but this support often fluctuates. Some countries initially welcome UN missions but later restrict their activities or withdraw consent, which can disrupt peace efforts […]
