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.
My research is designed to better understand the relative risks that environmental stressors may pose to the biota of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems with the goal of improving scientific and public understanding of those risks.
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.
My research focuses on the ecology and epidemiology of vector-borne zoonoses. I apply a One Health approach,
working collaboratively at the intersection of human, animal and environmental health.
My research interests lie in the areas of electron transfer initiated reactions, surface and interfacial chemistry, and synthesis and applications of metal sulfide materials.
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.
