We are interested in structure-function relationships of enzymes and enzyme evolution. We are studying steroid degrading enzymes from the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other related bacteria. We are also interested in enzymes that can be used to detoxify environmental pollutants.
My main research interests are in organizational identity and reputation and their implications for organizational strategies, sustainability and CSR. My research projects include sustainability and certifications in the Australian wine industry and social enterprise in Tanzania.
I combine experiments, simulations, and theory to tackling problems like improving small hydropower systems, modeling the climate inside greenhouses, and studying airflow in both industrial processes and outdoors.
Landscape architecture has a long history at the University of Guelph, and we are able to tap into the diversity of disciplines here in order to make a broad contribution to our students' education and experience.
I conduct research in Computer Security and Computer Systems domains. I am interested in using cross-domain tools and techniques to understand and improve the security and usability aspects of existing security systems, often involving human subjects.
I am fascinated by rurally located places of destination...My students and I work towards understanding how physical design and planning can ameliorate negative impacts on these rural environments.
My research improves life by assessing workplace tasks and devices for end user injury potential. Once the risk is understood, new methods and devices are designed to minimize the potential of developing injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
