Four Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s researchers whose projects range from endometrial health to solar energy to animal biology have received over $500,000 in funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI).
The fund helps institutions attract and retain Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s top researchers.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The CFI, through the John R. Evans Leaders Fund, has provided us with an excellent mechanism for attracting and retaining top-flight researchers,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Vice-Principal (Research) Steven Liss. 카지노 게임 컬렉션As a result of this competition, four Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s researchers will receive the funding required to develop their innovative infrastructure to enrich the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s research environment and advance leading-edge research.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The following researchers have received funding:
Praveen Jain (Electrical and Computer Engineering), $400,000 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Jain카지노 게임 컬렉션s research focuses on creating a smart microgrid, a green energy generating unit that is the future of the entire power grid network. The funding will allow Dr. Jain to build an experimental setup that accurately depicts smart microgrid dynamics, technical issues and behaviour.
Anne Croy and Chandrakant Tayade (Biomedical and Molecular Sciences), $100,000 카지노 게임 컬렉션 The goals of this research project are to improve the basic understanding of the dynamic biology of the reproductive-aged uterus and apply this information to the protection and health of women and their offspring. The funding will allow the researchers to develop a new core lab.
Frances Bonier (Biology), $80,000 카지노 게임 컬렉션 With an eye on conservation, Dr. Bonier is working to understand the influence of environmental challenges on traits related to survival and reproduction in the songbird population. The funding will be used to purchase high-tech field, lab and computing equipment that will assist in her field studies.
