What our research assistants are working on
KINdling Project
This project focuses on fostering collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups to address complex issues of reconciliation and decolonization. Research Assistants will collect secondary data, conduct literature reviews, and provide administrative support to the lead researcher.
BrainTrust Project
This research investigates how students transition back to the classroom after experiencing a traumatic head injury, such as a concussion. Student researchers will assist professors and community partners by conducting secondary research, supporting administrative tasks, and analyzing primary data.
ARTP Project
The ARTP Project is dedicated to enhancing the profitability of local fermented beverage companies by integrating sustainability-driven solutions into their operations.
The first research theme of the ARTP Project focuses on water and wastewater. Researchers are exploring opportunities to reuse water within the production cycle and improve wastewater treatment and management, helping businesses conserve resources and reduce costs.
The second research theme centres on reduction and upcycling, addressing ways to minimize raw material inputs and transform by-products into valuable secondary products. This approach not only reduces waste but also creates new revenue streams for producers.
Students will aid professors and contracted researchers with cost analysis, administrative support, and secondary research. These projects offer valuable hands-on experience for new research assistants looking to contribute to important community-focused initiatives.
