Immigrant families settling the land, quilting bees, and ploughing matches are examples of some of the social and economic topics of early Ontario that link my work to the larger expertise of this University concerning agriculture and rural communities.
My research is in the area of nuclear physics, using the atomic nucleus as a laboratory to understand the fundamental forces of nature, the origins of the elements in the Universe, and how simple patterns emerge from complex systems.
My research is in the area of mechanical and electrical engineering. It involves the development of intelligent control and estimation strategies with applications to mechatronic systems, robotics, and real-world problems.
Dr. Kate Parizeau is interested in research questions concerning the social context of waste and its management. Her research uses waste management practices as a lens through which to interrogate complex systems of social organization and human exchanges with the natural world.
My group uses in vivo and in vitro models to ask how transcriptional regulators of the Dlx gene family influence cellular differentiation in the skeleton and craniofacial tissue patterning during vertebrate embryogenesis...
