Laser-driven plume formation is a process relevant to fluid dynamics, laser surgery, and materials processing. In photomechanical spallation, high-intensity laser pulses rapidly deposit energy into a liquid, triggering shock waves, phase transitions, and bubble formation. Although much is known about these phenomena, significant gaps remain in understanding how Newtonian fluids (e.g., glycerol and water) behave […]

Deep-sea ferromanganese nodules and crusts are not only potential resources for critical minerals such as cobalt and nickel, essential for the green energy transition and secondary battery technologies, but also valuable geological archives recording millions of years of ocean environmental history. However, traditional bulk geochemical analyses often fail to capture the fine-scale chemical and biological […]

The proposed project examines how the words adolescents use to describe their emotions change over the course of psychotherapy and whether having a broader vocabulary for both positive and negative emotions is linked to better mental health outcomes. To address these questions, the study will analyze text- and video-based conversations from approximately 1,500 adolescent–therapist pairs […]

This project proposes the use of ethnographic research to analyze for-profit development aid programs in Timor-Leste by examining the everyday interactions of global and local contractors and the technologies of governance through which development work is shaped. The internship would function as an immersive 12-weeks training experience in anthropological research methods for Audrey Lefort. Dr. […]

This project examines how Chinese restaurant owners and operators in London’s Soho Chinatown navigate rapid change. Restaurants are central to Chinatown’s economy and to how “Chinatown” is publicly represented through food, space, and everyday hospitality practices. As tourism markets shift and new culinary trends emerge, operators make practical decisions about menus, branding, service, and target […]

This project will review global research to understand how ready newcomer communities are for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in community-based participatory research (CBPR) and how acceptable and trustworthy AI tools are in equity-focused CBPR. By examining what is known about digital access, language needs, cultural safety, trust, and concerns about bias, the project […]

This project explores the health and wellbeing of women who have experienced war, displacement and resettlement, with a focus on Sudanese those living in Canada. Through a PRISMA-guided secondary research approach, it synthesizes global evidence on mental health, coping strategies, access to healthcare and chronic disease prevention among vulnerable newcomer women. The aim is to […]

This project examines how the disappearance, relocation, and redevelopment of neighborhood markets in Manila reshape cultural memory, daily routines, and community belonging. Markets such as palengke, sari-sari stores, and small commercial corridors have long served as social infrastructures where familiarity, recognition, and shared practices form through everyday interaction. As many of these spaces are demolished […]

Les expositions d’art sont essentielles pour comprendre notre culture, mais elles disparaissent dès leur démontage. Il reste souvent très peu de traces, ce qui rend difficile de préserver leur mémoire et de comprendre comment elles ont réellement été conçues et vécues. Mon projet vise à mieux documenter ces expositions, en tenant compte non seulement des […]

This internship supports the creation of an open-access publication on sustainable fashion, intergenerational learning, and craft practices. It investigates how participatory speculative design through Fashion Fictions workshops enables community textile groups to collaboratively imagine alternative fashion futures, fostering collective imagination, social learning, and agency. The project is the first Mitacs Globalink partnership between Nottingham Trent […]

Our proposal investigates the electrohydrodynamics of active chiral nematics—complex fluids that combine internal activity, chirality, and orientational order. These materials exhibit rich flow behaviors and defect dynamics when subjected to electric fields, making them promising for future applications in soft robotics, microfluidics, and responsive materials. Through computational modeling and theoretical analysis, we aim to uncover […]

Le projet Évaluation des politiques de Santé Publique à Montréal (2014-2024) : Impact sur le Secteur Privé, la Société et les Disparités en Santé analyse les effets des politiques de santé publique sur Montréal, particulièrement leurs répercussions sur le secteur privé, la société et les inégalités en santé. Il explore comment ces politiques influencent les […]
