My research is focused on developing intelligent robotics systems including Robotic grasping, human-robot interaction, machine vision, machine learning, and embedded computing systems.
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.
The central research goal of my research is to examine the concept of resiliency and sustainability within the context of resource-based communities to address the often problematic relationship(s) between resource reliance, community well-being, and adaptive capacity.
Overall, our work aims to uncover novel strategies for the treatment of infectious diseases associated with fungal and bacterial pathogens in both the healthcare and agriculture sectors.
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".
Our research is mainly focused on studying ultrafine biopolymeric and synthetic fibres produced by electrostatic spinning techniques. These versatile materials are being exploited in our laboratory for the encapsulation and triggered release of bioactive compounds.
My current research is examining weather impacts on specialty crop production in Ontario. Historical analysis provides insight into conditions favourable for production, allowing for better...
