I am interested in the diverse knowledge systems and participatory approaches (citizen science, youth engagement, community-based monitoring, Indigenous guardians, etc.) that contribute to community-led environmental decision making in resource-based and remote communities.
My research aims to improve life by helping diverse human societies to better relate to each other and think more critically about the impacts of our actions on our fellow non-human beings.
One of my main research activities addresses the development of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) which are used today in all types of applications including security systems, consumer products, medical equipment, manufacturing systems, robotics to name just a few.
My ultimate goal is to improve understanding of the complex interplay of factors that impact children’s pain and health to identify best practices for intervention.
I am dedicated to seek out practicum experiences that support the competency development of the MAN students. Additionally, I am interested in exploring if simulated learning exercises could accelerate competency attainment.
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.
