Researchers in the news
The scholarly work of Concordia faculty and researchers informs and improves society on many issues that affect our daily lives. Visit the Research section to read news stories involving research at Concordia, or read the most recent items here:
- There is extensive coverage of a research breakthrough in nanoelectronics at Concordia. PhD student Andrew McRae (MSc 13) and Alexandre Champagne, associate professor of physics, chair of the Department of Physics and the Concordia University Research Chair in Nanoelectronics and Quantum Materials in the Faculty of Arts and Science, have co-authored a study that examined electron behaviour within nanoelectronics and suggests new engineering possibilities to improve smart devices. Concordia alumni, James M. Porter (MSc 15, BSc 11) and Vahid Tayari (PhD 14) also collaborated on the study, published in the journal, Nature Communications: Science Daily (linked by Technology News, Foster Gem and Parallel State), Phys.Org (linked by Phys News), ECN Mag, Nano Magazine, Nano Werk, Hi Tech Days, i-Connect 007, News Locker, Wire Service, AMEQ en ligne(behind a paywall), Canada Journal, Death Rattle Sports, Public Now.
- Academica reprises a Montreal Gazette piece announcing #MTLroadwork — a journalism project involving Concordia professors and reporters at the Gazette. The collaborative pilot project will focus on roadwork-related problems in Montreal, with Concordia professors to provide material generated by their research touching on different aspects of roadwork.
- CBC News talks to Fenwick McKelvey, assistant professor of communication studies in the Faculty of Arts and Science, about artificial intelligence and whether AI can be unbiased. The text story references McKelvey's research into how algorithms influence what we see online.
- Isarta Infos lists Concordia among the participants at a recent SÉRI Montréal event that brought together industry representative and university researchers for a conference titled, 'Intelligence: (r)évolution'.
