What are your research plans for the next three years?
After completing my comprehensive examination and defending my thesis proposal, I plan on developing, modeling and analyzing various prototypes of reinforced concrete buildings representative of current Canadian building practices. The prototype models will be analyzed utilizing state-of-the-art structural analysis software with and without consideration of soil-structure interaction effects to assess the differences. The parametric study will consider buildings with different number of stories above and below grade and in various cities to capture the effects of different zones of seismicity in Canada. In addition to writing my dissertation, I also plan on disseminating my research findings by publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at conferences. Last but not least, it is my intent to collaborate and work with the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) Standing Committee on Earthquake Design (SCED) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Technical Committee on Design of Concrete Structures to translate my research findings into design provisions that realistically capture the effects of soil-structure interaction for the seismic design of buildings.

What are your research plans for the next three years?
Having completed my first round of field work, I now hope to expand use of the integrated pest management models within farming communities. While nearly all farmers that I have seen are quite eager to use less pesticides, oftentimes the only "extension agent" in the field is an agricultural input company salesperson, which means that farmers often don't have access to information on integrated pest management or biocontrol. I hope to orient my future research towards assessing the potential for the use of such integrated pest management models as rapid tools to spread and gather knowledge on what works and doesn't in biological control. I also plan on researching how these models can be used to also gather field information from farmers themselves in order to improve the model, allowing for implicit information transfer and communication between users. On the socioeconomics side, I hope to expand the scope of the models we have built to more communities and develop frameworks to allow for the collaboration of different communities and different levels of government in developing socioeconomic system dynamics models for the same problem in different regions.

How do you feel about winning a Vanier Graduate Scholarship 鈥� what difference will this make to your research path or your contribution to the global community?
The Vanier Graduate Scholarship has had a profound impact on my research and future plans. Firstly, it removed all concerns regarding funding in the short term, allowing me to worry exclusively about my research (which is often more than enough)! The fieldwork component of the research has also been very intensive, with two branches (socioeconomics and environmental) occurring simultaneously in two different case study villages. The funding has allowed me to grow our research team, hiring two Guatemalan field research assistants as well as providing support for 成人VR视频 undergraduate students to complete internships while working on the project. Over the summer of 2015, we had a team of six undergraduate students working in Guatemala, and several of these (and some new faces) will be returning in 2016. This guaranteed support has also allowed me to be more flexible in my research schedule, including spending three months in India over the summer of 2015 to develop contacts there and compare the rather advanced biocontrol industry there with the Guatemalan context.

What are your research plans for the next three years?
For the next three years I will be investigating pediatric-onset MS, which could provide clues of early disease targets and the specific immune cells that cause the damage. A pediatric cohort allows us to examine a unique patient population because they present with the earliest episodes of MS. My project鈥檚 aim is to characterize the disease targets and injury mechanisms in this young population. We hope to provide insights into the immunological abnormalities responsible for MS development. The ultimate goal of my proposed studies is to help with early detection of the disease and the development of more selective treatments. The results would be beneficial not only to the young population, which presents with the first attack but through detection of early pathogenic events, we could potentially target and prevent disease progression in adults.
