Volcanic eruptions commonly involve several magma batches with distinct compositions that meet and mix during or shortly prior to eruption. In some cases, this mixing process can prime or trigger eruptions, as ascending hot and gas-rich magmas can remobilise and mix with cooler magmas stalled at shallower depths and destabilise the magmatic system. We have […]

My research focus is shorebird ecology and conservation. Shorebird populations are declining globally, likely as a result of environmental changes and the expansion of human development. These birds are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss or degradation at their coastal wintering sites where they refuel from migration and prepare for their next breeding season. I will […]

I designed my master project for performing paleo-seismological research in the eastern Bhutan, where no instrumental or historic earthquake is known and where a historic surface rupture along the Himalayan front was recently identified. Based on the ages of the known large historic earthquakes in the eastern Himalaya, the newly identified surface rupture could have […]

Sustainability as one of the key elements of Smart cities, can be realized by employing Real Time Control Strategies for city’s infrastructures. Nowadays Stormwater management systems play an important role in mitigating the impacts of urbanization on natural hydrological cycle. Besides, these systems have a huge potential to be managed in such a way that […]

The goal of this project is to further develop the JGI technology CRAGE, which enables the insertion of large DNA fragments into the chromosome of a host organism. Over the course of the 3 months, the CRAGE system will be adapted for the E. coli EPI300 strain that is host to the Hallam Lab functional […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à identifier et documenter les meilleurs pratiques de gestion et d’exploitation de la ressource forestière par le biais d’une approche de benchmarking (approche de performance comparé) afin d’améliorer la compétitivité de certains Unités d’aménagement (UA) forestières et de contribuer à assurer la pérennité de l’industrie forestière. Le projet vise à […]

Participating to the Mitacs Globalink program will give me the chance to carry on research at TUM, joing the research group at the Lehrstuhl fur Technische Chemie II. I will work under the supervision of Prof. Johannes Lercher and I will learn how to combine advanced physicochemical methods to characterize the methane reaction on surfaces […]

Le projet de recherche qui sera entrepris pendant le stage portera sur l’étude numérique de l’effet d’une nouvelle classe des matériaux à changement de phase, nommée Nano-MCP, sur les performances du stockage d’énergie. Par définition, un nano-MCP est un mélange des nanoparticules de haute conductivité thermique avec des MCPs conventionnels, tel que le paraffine et […]

The environmental stress of altitude and heat have both been shown to elicit divergent adaptive responses and are used by elite athletes to augment training adaptation and subsequent performance. Indeed, 3-4 weeks at moderate altitudes can increase the body’s natural erythropoietin (EPO) responses, raising hemoglobin by 4-6% and enhancing endurance performance. Conversely, as little as […]

Les activités de recherche prévues au cours de mon séjour à l’University of South Australia consistent à développer un spectromètre à peignes de fréquences dans l’infrarouge moyen intégré sur une puce optique. Un spectromètre dont la plage spectrale d’opération s’étend jusqu’à 3-5 µm permet la mesure de spectres d’absorption de gaz. Bon nombre de molécules […]

Mines generate large quantity of tailings. In most cases, they are transported by pipes and deposited in tailings ponds and confined by dams. To limit the footprint and land area of tailings pond, the dams have to be uplifted progressively with the increase in the tailings level. Several methods exist to uplift the tailings dams. […]
