This research examines how hydropeaking dams cause fish stranding due to rapid flow changes. Using camera monitoring and modeling, it identifies environmental factors like substrate type and seasonal fish abundance that increase risk. The work…
2025
This research evaluates passive cooling strategies—like reflective roofs and shading—to reduce heat in homes without air conditioning. Using simulations of thousands of combinations under current and future climates, it identifies optimal solutions…
2025
This research explores how qualified immigrants navigate career transitions after moving to Canada. Through interviews, it finds that initial motivation often shifts to distress due to systemic barriers. Successful immigrants rely on planning and…

This research explores endophytes—fungi living symbiotically within plants—that produce bioactive compounds aiding plant defense and growth. These compounds have led to major medical breakthroughs like antibiotics and immunosuppressants. Studying…
2025
This research examines how older adults manage indoor environmental conditions while aging in place. It highlights the importance of “adaptive opportunities,” such as adjusting surroundings or behavior, and identifies barriers like mobility and cost…
