It’s a busy place. On any given day students and faculty members are researching solutions to real problems. Traffic jams. CO2 emissions. Ad hoc networks in war zones. Step inside this place and you’ll meet fascinating researchers like Richard Yu and his team of 10+ graduate students, funded by both private and...

The set would be two kilometers underground in the Vale-Inco mine where the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Lab is housed. The plot would...
There was opportunity afoot for new collaboration when two new medical physics researchers joined Carleton in 2010. Rowan Thomson, a Carleton graduate and winner of the 2011 Polanyi Prize, and Gabriel Sawakuchi, a veteran of Houston’s M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, were each settling in and bringing their own...
Is women’s reluctance to join in office politics the reason there aren’t more females in top positions?

A Carleton professor and his team of researchers are using standard optical fibre to develop a device that can quickly detect toxins in drinking water or diseases in humans. Jacques Albert is the holder of the Canada Research Chair inAdvanced Photonic Components. His device will send light down specially-coated,...
Cruising around two central Ottawa neighbourhoods in the spring, two of professor Michel Barbeau’s students went on a hunt for unsecured and weakly secured wireless networks. Their goal wasn’t to hack, but to survey. Wireless security is at the forefront of Barbeau’s research, particularly with his students at...
