As an I-CUREUS participant my role was in the capacity of research assistant, I worked under the supervision of Dr. Andy Adler from the department of Systems and Computer Engineering. This project was part of an Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) project with the Ottawa Hospital, General Campus. I designed a protocol for collecting real... More
My I-CUREUS project has been a continuation of work I've done over the past two summers in Carleton's ATLAS group. The ATLAS is one of the four large particle detectors in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and was one of the two involved in the observations of the Higgs boson announced in 2012.... More
My role as an I-CUREUS participant involved many iterations of the design process, which is essential in engineering. As a student of , I couldn’t imagine a more engaging and applicable opportunity than being involved in solar energy research, which is exactly what my I-CUREUS experience entailed. This program allowed me to work under... More
As an I-CUREUS student in Dr. Alfonso Abizaid’s lab I had the opportunity to work with a Masters student on a follow-up study to complement a previous study she had worked on. Our project looked at the role of the hunger hormone ghrelin in mediating anxious behaviours in mice using three behavioural paradigms: a... More
