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 […]

This project investigates how different genes involved in DNA repair work together to keep cancer cells alive. We’re focusing on a specific process called translesion synthesis (TLS), which helps cells bypass damage in their DNA. By understanding these genetic interactions, we hope to identify new ways to target and kill cancer cells, especially those that […]

Robotic technology is starting to leave enclosed industrial spaces and research labs and enter human society and communities. However, the impact of robots on humans is not well understood, and this lack of understanding limits the safety and effectiveness of their deployment. The primary objective of this research project is to investigate the emotional and […]

Le projet de recherche proposé vise à étudier comment les fonds de pension canadiens peuvent mieux évaluer la performance de leurs investissements, en particulier ceux qui ne sont pas cotés en bourse, comme l’immobilier ou les infrastructures. Le stagiaire fera une revue des études existantes pour identifier des indices de référence (ou benchmarks) qui permettraient […]

With an ever-expanding list of critical materials and minerals, it is crucial to find sustainable material solutions to well-established industrial requirements. High-entropy materials, i.e. materials that mix 5 or more constituents in near equi-atomic proportions, could mitigate these issues by offering highly resistant and stable materials. As a result, addressing the issues of critical materials […]

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a family of materials that are host to many quantum phenomena which could potentially be used to build the next generation of high-speed, energy-efficient electronic devices. These materials are comprised of atomically thin sheets stacked on top of each other, with the interactions between sheets playing a critical role in […]

L’enseignement auprès des patients est un aspect crucial à la trajectoire de récupération améliorée après la chirurgie (RAAC). L’environnement numérique d’apprentissage (ENA), incluant un espace de suivi des apprentissages en ligne, représente un outil utile pour assurer un transfert d’informations plus spécifique et pédagogique. Ce projet vise à explorer l’acceptabilité, la faisabilité et les effets […]

The aim of this project is to produce a new critical evidence base on the transferability of policies and practices geared towards place adaptation and urban retrofit. Urban retrofit is defined as repairing existing places by adapting urban form to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, protect the environment, and support sustainable lifestyles. The project […]

Exploring the structure and behavior of turbulent jets is a fundamental challenge in fluid mechanics. The application of turbulent jets in environmental and industrial contexts has led to a rise in both experimental and numerical research in this area. Nevertheless, the examination of counter-flowing jets released into a turbulent background has received less attention in […]
