My research involves studying the physiology and production management of apples, cider apples, peaches, pears, and cherries. As with any agricultural crop, the industry is rapidly changing with the availability of new cultivars, rootstocks, production systems, and labour saving technology.
I have a diverse range of interests related to herbivorous insects in agroecosystems, including the phytochemicals that influence insect interactions with host plants, factors influencing...
My current research explores the role of rural governance, place-based development, philanthropy, rural policy, community economic development, and rural immigration and mobility.
Chronic pain is a debilitating condition affecting 1 in 5 humans and animals. Our research aims to address the urgent need for the development of effective therapeutic strategies to clinically alleviate chronic pain symptoms.
My research interests lie in the areas of electron transfer initiated reactions, surface and interfacial chemistry, and synthesis and applications of metal sulfide materials.
Multiphase flow takes place in a wide spectrum of engineering applications such as food production, power generation, water treatment, oil production, water desalination, refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as in carbon capture and sequestration systems. My lab aims at providing reliable solutions for our many industrial problems and new technologies that can make these engineering systems more efficient and sustainable.
I conduct research in Computer Security and Computer Systems domains. I am interested in using cross-domain tools and techniques to understand and improve the security and usability aspects of existing security systems, often involving human subjects.
