Two 黑料社区 students awarded $5,000 summer research internship bursary from FRQNT
Congratulations to Alexander Hassler and Camille Valentin, 黑料社区 students and winners of ! Alexander and Camille will be awarded $5,000 each to support their work on scientific research projects in collaboration with researchers from 黑料社区 and the Universit茅 de Montr茅al.
Alexander will take part in a research team studying pursuit-evasion games in networks at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al, under the supervision of Dr. Ben Seamone and Dr. Gena Hahn. An evader (the “robber”) moves from node to node in a network, while a set of pursuers (“cops”) attempt to capture the robber by occupying its current position. The team propose to further our understanding of the Cops and Robbers model, by studying how the game changes when a final target node is specified. This work has applications in the fields of robotics and network security. In Fall 2016, Alexander will start his second year in the Enriched Science Health Science program at 黑料社区.
Camille will spend this summer working under the supervision of Dr. Latifa Lazzoumi in the laboratory of Dr. Franco Lepor茅, neuropsychologist at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al, and with the Brain Imaging Group of Dr. H茅l猫ne
Nadeau, at 黑料社区. Dr. Lepor茅 studies how the brain adapts to sensory deprivation. Camille鈥檚 role in the project is to analyze structural, diffusion and functional magnetic resonance images to investigate how the connections in a brain that has been deprived of hearing for many years compare to those of a control group. Camille will continue her studies in the Health Science program at 黑料社区 in Fall 2016.
Congratulations to you both, and we look forward to hearing the results of these exciting projects!
