Landscape architecture has a long history at the University of Guelph, and we are able to tap into the diversity of disciplines here in order to make a broad contribution to our students' education and experience.
My research program studies the effects of agricultural management practices (tillage and cropping systems) on the nature and dynamics of soil organic matter (SOM).
Statistical natural language processing has been actively studied in the field of Artificial Intelligence. My research is mainly focused on applying machine learning methods in Information Retrieval, Text Categorization, Sentiment Analysis, Text Segmentation, Text Summarization, Privacy Policy Analysis, and Text Mining.
I combine experiments, simulations, and theory to tackling problems like improving small hydropower systems, modeling the climate inside greenhouses, and studying airflow in both industrial processes and outdoors.
I am fascinated by rurally located places of destination...My students and I work towards understanding how physical design and planning can ameliorate negative impacts on these rural environments.
I have an interest in conservation induced livelihood change, forest governance, conservation partnerships and Indigenous-led conservation governance. My work seeks to improve the social and ecological outcomes of conservation governance.
