Silicon Nanoparticle and Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforced Polymer Composites

Cellulose and Silicon are two of the most abundant natural materials in the world, thus it is only “natural” to combine the two materials. Specifically, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been attractive sustainable additives for the mechanical reinforcement of polymers and silicon can be easily converted to silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) for use in biosensing, coatings, and […]

Targeting Peritoneal Adhesions

In about 4% of patients that have had an abdominal surgery ranging from a C-section, to appendectomy, to removal of the gall bladder, they will develop bands of scar tissue that can cause extreme pain and/or life-threatening complications such as bowel obstruction which requires emergency operation. The only temporary cure is a second operation which […]

Generation of reactive nitrogen species in water by plasma at atmospheric pressure

Nitrogen is a primary macronutrient used today in agriculture. Although the air consists of more than 78% of diazote, plants cannot use the atmospheric nitrogen (N) because the very stable electron configuration of this molecule which makes all reactions energy demanding. For this reason, industrial processes (e.g., Haber-Bosch process) have been developed during the last […]

Buried pipelines in the sloping ground and potential buckling during operation

Oil and gas pipelines generally traverse over a large distance through various ground conditions, from relatively flat areas to sloping grounds such as crossing hills, mountain ridges and rivers. Ground deformation/slope failure and upheaval buckling during operation pose a major threat to the structural integrity, safety and operability of the pipelines. In the proposed project, […]

The effects of racialized culture in recruiting diverse talent

This project focuses on the visible minorities with higher education or work skills (e.g., international graduates or skilled workers immigrants) and investigates the barriers for these immigrants to find a job at their level of skill and education. More specifically, this research seeks to understand how much racialized culture plays a part in recruiting diverse […]

Automated high-throughput characterization of microbiome composition and diversity

The mineral mining industry in Canada is rapidly shifting toward more sustainable practices that reduce the environmental impacts of extraction, wastewater, and emissions. Although often overlooked, microorganisms, or bacteria, living in the soils and water of mine sites and mining waste materials, collectively known as the ““mining microbiome”, exert strong influence on all stages of […]
