Disclosure of the COVID-19 Rapid Research Response Grant Recipients

In response to COVID-19, Carleton swiftly developed an internal funding opportunity to provide seed funding for individuals or teams of researchers for original, innovative and time-sensitive research to propose solutions to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, or to apply to external research grant competitions targeting the COVID-19 pandemic. The research had to have the potential to contribute to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, or to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and/or its negative consequences on people and communities. The grant was open to all full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members. The response was unprecedented and we are very proud of the successful proposals. Many thanks to our community of researchers who heard the call “to do…

Ensuring Safer Skies: Researching Ice Accretion on Aircraft Pitot Tubes

In aviation, even the smallest component is of the greatest importance—Pitot tubes are a prime example. These small but essential devices measure airspeed by detecting air pressure differences, providing pilots with essential data for maintaining control. However, in freezing conditions, ice accumulation on Pitot tubes can interfere with their measurements unless countermeasures are implemented to prevent icing. Today, state-of-the-art Pitot tubes are equipped with anti-icing systems that prevent ice accretion. That said, a comprehensive understanding of aircraft icing is essential for designing these systems. Close-up of Pitot tubes on an airplane. Professor Edgar Matida and Associate Professor Hamza abo el Ella from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, are tackling this issue through a collaborative research project with Thales…

Responsible Conduct of Research

Through responsible conduct of research, we strive to adhere to the highest standards of compliance as articulated by national and international funding agencies. Researchers enjoy important freedoms and privileges, including freedom of inquiry and the right to disseminate the results, freedom to challenge conventional thought, freedom from institutional censorship, and the privilege of conducting research with human participants, with public monies, trust, and support. Along with these freedoms, there are the responsibilities to ensure that research meets high scientific and ethical standards, is honest and thoughtful inquiry, involves rigorous analysis, and the application of professional standards. Compliance with these standards and responsibilities throughout the university community is advanced by the ongoing education of the members of its community in matters…
