I am thrilled to be working on a content analysis of bilingualism questionnaires this summer, as I believe this project has meaningful implications to provide necessary clarification for bilingualism research. I expect that throughout my completion of this project I will improve my writing proficiency, statistical analysis skills, knowledge translation abilities, and will learn a new content analysis methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supervisor:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/people\/john-a-e-anderson\/\">Dr. John Anderson<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">Emma Richard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/Emma-Richard_cropped-640x480-1-512x384.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Richard\" class=\"wp-image-51286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/Emma-Richard_cropped-640x480-1-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/Emma-Richard_cropped-640x480-1-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/Emma-Richard_cropped-640x480-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the NSERC-URSA award I am combining my interest of machine learning and neurodegenerative disorders to create models using artificial intelligence to automatically detect Parkinson\u2019s through mPower data. Using the dataset, I will be able to use movement patterns from people to see if various algorithms are able to detect early-onset Parkinson\u2019s, a verified case of Parkinson\u2019s, or no Parkinson\u2019s detection. Parkinson\u2019s disease affects many people worldwide and there are still many unknowns associated with it. With this award, I am looking to gain critical research experience and provide new insights on the symptoms and development of Parkinson\u2019s, while using machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supervisor:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cognitivescience\/people\/alex-kelly\/\">Dr. Alex Kelly<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Award The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to stimulate a student&#8217;s interest in research in the natural sciences and engineering.
