“I'm interested in nineteenth-century French literature. My focus has been on writing by women, travel writing and literary collaborations. My current research deals with the relationship between women and the literary institution during the Belle Epoque.”

 

 

“My research interests lie in the areas of electron transfer initiated reactions, surface and interfacial chemistry, and synthesis and applications of metal sulfide materials.”

 

 

“I have a diverse range of interests related to herbivorous insects in agroecosystems, including the phytochemicals that influence insect interactions with host plants, factors influencing the success and population dynamics of invasive insects, impacts of natural enemies on pest populations, and the development of integrated pest management programs.”

 

 

“The long-term objectives of our research program are to understand the mechanism and control of nitric oxide production by the mammalian nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isozymes as well as the calmodulin-dependent activation of its numerous target proteins including NOS isozymes and voltage-gated calcium channels.”

 

 

“My general research interests are interdisciplinary, and straddle the disciplines of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Currently, I have particular interest in developing algorithmic solutions to optimization problems that arise in both FPGA and VLSI design flows. My other active areas of research include using multicore, reconfigurable-computing platforms in the form of FPGAs and Graphics-Processing Units (GPU) to accelerate meta-heuristics, data-mining and machine-learning algorithms.”

 

 

“Investigation of the biomechanics of soft tissues related to osteoarthritis progression.”

 

“My research is in the area of nuclear physics, using the atomic nucleus as a laboratory to understand the fundamental forces of nature, the origins of the elements in the Universe, and how simple patterns emerge from complex systems.”

 

“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".”

 

“Cognitive-affective Neuroscience: My lab combines measures of human behaviour with brain imaging techniques, such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), to examine the cognitive and neural mechanisms of visual recognition and affective response, and how they are influenced by attention, emotion, and our previous experience with the world.”

 

 

“My primary current research in on public participation in environmental impact assessment. Additional research areas include environmental governance; agricultural policy, state-society relations; and rural social movements. All my work is comparative involving both Canadian and international cases.”
