Participatory community development research alongside Garden Hill First Nation (FN), Wasagamack FN and other East-side FN community members is the focus of this Mitacs research. Student interns will assist in recording each community’s traditional land use through maps, videos, interviews, development of plans and branding. A geographical information system will allow an analysis of different […]

There are however, a range of GCMs, future climate scenarios and downscalingtechniques that can be used and each yields different results. Due to this uncertainty, itis regarded as best-practice to use a collection of individual projections to develop“ranges” that characterize future climate conditions. The aim of this internship is toconduct this analysis for the variables […]

Dans l’urgence climatique à laquelle nous faisons face depuis plusieurs années, de nombreux sujets de recherche ont émergé dans le but de réduire l’impact environnemental du monde industriel. Une des principales motivations de ces récentes avancées concerne la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) par leur recyclage ou transformation. Dans ce […]

This project focuses on preparing photoelectrodes by designing molecular dye sensitizers, nanostructured substrates, integrating them and finally characterizing the photoelectrochemical properties of the photoelectrode under low-light conditions. By developing and optimizing the design of the photoelectrode, the project aims to enhance solar to chemical energy conversion processes for green fuel or high-added value products. The […]

The Occupant-Centric Low-Energy Design Solutions for High-Rise Social Apartments in Ho Chi Minh City project seeks to improve energy efficiency in high-rise apartments by understanding and integrating the daily behaviors and preferences of residents. The objectives of the research include: – Develop a set of criteria for evaluating energy efficiency that aligns with user behavior […]

This project focuses on synthesizing a new class of conjugated polymers incorporating stable, quinoidal units that enhance electronic properties, targeting applications in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells, and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). By designing polymers that feature reduced bond-length alternation, these materials exhibit lower band gaps and high charge carrier mobilities, essential for […]

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 […]

Sustainable institutions have established a strong market reputation and demonstrate significant growth potential. Their primary focus has shifted from profitability to sustainability. CEOs of these organizations believe that achieving market growth requires implementing eco-friendly and transparent practices. Furthermore, companies have collectively raised public awareness about the necessary actions and current efforts to promote a healthier […]

The Golden Langur (Trachypithecus geei), a unique and venerated primate species endemic to the Eastern Himalayas, particularly Bhutan, confronts persistent challenges as a result of interactions with human populations (Thinley et al., 2019). Bhutan, well-known for its dedication to environmental preservation, presents a distinctive arena to explore the tolerance levels of local communities towards the […]

Our project tackles the critical challenge of optimizing energy efficiency in electric boats, a vital issue in the growing market of sustainable marine transportation. The primary problem lies in the inefficient energy consumption of electric motors used in electric boats when navigating varying wave conditions, leading to reduced range and increased operational costs. This research […]

This project will graphene thin films using for water purification using solar evaporation. We will utilize an intercalation-assisted technique to prepare surfactant-free graphene dispersions. We will fabricate large-area graphene films and deposit them on filter paper through vacuum filtration, followed by thermal treatment to enhance their stability and optical properties. These films will be examined […]

Microplastics, plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters, are observed to have significant negative impacts on human health and the environment as they decompose extremely slowly, release toxic chemicals, and transport contaminants. Among the major sources of microplastics are microfibers, tiny thread-like fibers released during laundry. In Canada and the United States, 878 tonnes of these […]
