My research looks at scales of local genetic adaptation to exotic Predators by Prey with high and low dispersal potential as well as ecological genomics and local adaptation of wild and aquacultural populations of Canadian Atlantic salmon.
I specialize in Canadian theatre history, with a focus on the history of radical political intervention theatre. My secondary field at the moment is reenactment culture and "warplay".
The research that we conduct in my laboratory aims to understand the causes of infertility at the gene level and pinpoint the mechanisms through which toxicants affect fertility both in humans and farm animals. Understanding how things happen will help in finding ways of overcoming it.
My community-engaged research collaborations focus on the interplay between citizens – particularly young women and women in northern communities – and the framing and development of public policy.
It is important to consider how our everyday decisions as residents of Canada affect global (or distant) issues, people and places in positive and negative ways.
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.
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.
