Development of a Radioactivity Transport Code to Support the CANDU Industry

Knowledge of corrosion products and radioactivity transport in nuclear reactors is necessary to minimize radiation dose to station workers during maintenance activities. Modelling radioactivity transport can also be used predictively to assess how changes to station chemistry affect radiation fields. The objective of this project is to develop a new code in Python, leveraging the […]

Investigations of oral microbiome and mental health in children and adolescents

Mental health is a pressing health issue in today’s society that requires more research to better prevent, identify, and mental health disorders in children and adolescence. Our pilot data suggests that bacterial in our mouths (the oral microbiome) may play an important role in mental health but requires further investigation in larger more diversity populations […]
