Advanced packaging and high-density chip stacking technologies are pivotal in the evolution of microelectronics, enabling enhanced performance through heterogeneous integration. As the industry moves toward reducing bump size and pitch, the bonding methodology has shifted from solder balls to Cu pillars. Although Cu pillars with solder caps have successfully replaced solder bumps, they encounter technical […]

Face à l’urgence climatique et la nécessité de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, ce projet de recherche se focalise sur des stratégies innovantes pour la valorisation du CO2. Cette recherche s’inscrit dans un contexte de transition énergétique et de lutte contre le changement climatique, où transformer le CO2 en produits chimiques […]

As a cultural historian, my research examines the history of contemporary Chinese photography, photo theory, and the intellectual and cultural politics of contemporary China. Through a detailed examination of numerous art, photography, and academic journals, along with exhibition catalogues and archival material from artists, my research seeks to analyse the historical and intellectual roots of […]

The main objective of the project by both interns (with tasks defined for each in the timelines) is aimed at the field of building sustainable water resiliency, adaptation and management with the following specific sub-objectives: • To evaluate monitoring technologies of eutrophication on water reservoirs. • To evaluate technologies for prevention and remediation of eutrophication […]

The proposed project fosters collaboration between Sabanci University and the University of Waterloo, offering significant benefits to both institutions. Sabanci University will gain access to advanced imaging and gas analysis techniques available at Waterloo, enabling precise characterization and optimization of the CO2 capture system. This enhances the quality and impact of ongoing research at Sabanci. […]

This project aims to explore the role of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in cognitive and anxiety-like behavior dysfunctions observed in preterm birth models. Using a neonatal hyperoxia rat model, which mimics bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and associated complications of preterm birth, the study will assess behavioral outcomes and AVP levels in different experimental conditions. The findings are […]

The proposed research project focuses on evaluating the interactions between the electrical grid and buildings, particularly in the context of electrification and decarbonization. The primary objective is to develop a simulation model to examine the operation and interactions between buildings with varying energy efficiency levels (including standard buildings, green buildings, and Zero Energy Buildings – […]

The aquaculture industry at the Mekong Delta plays a major role in the Vietnam’s export economy since it serves as a key supplier of seafood to global markets. However, the water quality in fish and shrimp ponds in the region often contains high concentrations of contaminants, which negatively impact product quality by affecting the health […]

Dans le cadre de ce projet de recherche, un ou plusieurs stagiaires examineront comment le modèle de formation du Centre d’Éducation Populaire (CEP) de l’Estrie aide les adultes à améliorer ou maintenir leurs compétences en lecture, écriture et calcul. Actif à Sherbrooke depuis plus de 40 ans, le CEP offre divers ateliers, notamment en alphabétisation, […]

Well-functioning infrastructure, broadly defined as the basic physical structures and facilities needed for a society to function efficiently (like roads, bridges, and power plants), is integral to the economic and social wellbeing of a nation and its citizens. Unfortunately, in the post-2008 world of austerity and increased global banking regulation, governments and banks have been […]

The StFX X-Oceans Outreach participant will collaborate with Students on Ice Foundation on their Blue Future Pathways initiative. The goal is to promote ocean literacy through STEM to youth in rural communities and to work with pre-service teachers to encourage them to incorporate ocean-based material in their curriculum and future teachings. Expected benefits to the […]

We develop a numerical model of blood flow in the microvasculature of the human body as a building block to later simulate targeted drug delivery. The model requires (i) to implement a Front Tacking/Immersed Boundary method to coupled the solution of the fluid flows to the deformation of the red blood cells (RBCs) and (ii) […]
