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 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 attempts to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of pork production in Ontario and Canada, to support a vibrant and diverse industry that employees many people, which ultimately provides high-quality, safe, and affordable pork for us to eat.
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.
