Le projet de recherche proposé a pour but de développer de biocomposites durables en combinant l’acide polylactique (PLA) et le biochar, un matériau issu de la pyrolyse de résidus forestiers. Face aux enjeux environnementaux liés à la pollution plastique, ce travail cherche à apporter des solutions, à la fois innovantes et durables, pour la conception […]

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder impacting millions worldwide, often requires precise surgical interventions when medications fail. The surgical procedure demands high levels of skill to remove the lesion causing epilepsy while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Current training methods for such intricate procedures are insufficient, relying heavily on subjective assessments and limited hands-on opportunities, which […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à étudier les impacts du changement climatique sur la Beaver Creek River, au Yukon, au Canada. Dans cette région froide, le pergélisol (sol gelé en permanence) se dégrade sous l’effet de l’augmentation des températures, particulièrement marquée aux niveau des pôles, ce qui peut fragiliser les berges des rivières, modifier les […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à analyser les chutes en escalade de bloc et les conditions d’impact sur les matelas de protection. Après une première étude menée en France auprès d’un public généraliste, cette nouvelle phase se concentrera sur un panel de grimpeur.euses canadien.ne.s, comprenant des expert.es et jeunes expert.es. L’objectif est d’intégrer les spécificités […]

Vision loss caused by retinal degeneration remains untreatable, posing a significant medical challenge. Unlike mammals, certain vertebrates like fish and frogs possess a remarkable regenerative ability in their retinas, mediated by Müller glia—specialized support cells that can proliferate and replace lost neurons. In mammals, however, Müller glia fail to regenerate neurons after injury, instead undergoing […]

The proposed project focuses on using Time-Resolved X-ray Solution Scattering (TR-XSS), an advanced technique for studying fast molecular changes in DNA nanostructures. By capturing real-time structural changes when these nanostructures are exposed to environmental stimuli like laser pulses. The project aims to improve our understanding of their stability and dynamic behavior. This project will provide […]

Developmental language disorders (DLDs) are among the most common early-childhood disorders, affecting between 8-12% of children worldwide. If left untreated, DLD can lead to significant professional and interpersonal difficulties later in life. While speech therapy is highly effective, the barrier-to-access is high with regards to cost, availability of speech therapists, and the delay between detection […]

Afin de limiter l’impact environnemental de l’industrie de la construction, le recyclage des bétons sous forme de granulats recyclés pour la production de nouveau béton est une pratique de plus en plus courante. Néanmoins, il n’existe pas de marché pour les particules les plus fines, notamment en raison des réglementations strictes en vigueur. L’option proposée […]

Les forêts boréales, couvrant 10 % de la surface terrestre, sont essentielles à notre planète. Elles stockent du carbone, régulent le climat, fournissent des ressources comme le bois ou le papier, et abritent une riche biodiversité. Cependant, elles sont menacées par les changements climatiques, qui entraînent des feux de forêt plus fréquents et intenses, modifiant […]

In wanting to better understand how the intersections of gender identity and expression, sexuality, racialization and ethnicity are taught within mental health care, education and professional practice, the overall objective of this research project is to learn how LGBTQ+ identities are taught to and understood by psychology students in Brazil. Dr. Dhebar will learn intersectional […]

The objective of this project is to investigate policy challenges identified by Munk’s Ukrainian partners and identify innovative solutions based on consultation with Munk and KSE faculty, extant research, and available evidence. 6 KSE-Munk students will prepare 10-page policy briefs addressing these challenges. Students will present their briefs at a student conference in April 2025. […]
