Mauricio Haag joined Prof. Lindsay Schoenbohm’s tectonic geomorphology group at the University of Toronto Mississauga as a PhD student in 2021 after receiving a Master’s degree at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. Mauricio’s PhD project aims to investigate erosion rates along the continental escarpment in southeast Brazil, focusing on how lithology, climate, and tectonics influence the spatial pattern of these erosion rates.
Peter Liberty, a current PhD candidate working under the supervision of Prof. Marc Laflamme, is a paleontologist studying early life and evolution through fossils.
As a PhD candidate in the Moore Lab, Romina Piunno tackles many challenges that have direct impact on climate change and one of her research interests include convective processes in the Labrador Sea.
An interdisciplinary team consisting of Lab Coordinators and Faculty in CPS (Earth Sciences, including Jess Slomka, Lab Coordinator, and Professor Lindsay Schoenbohm), Biology, Geography, Anthropology/Archaeology, and the Office of Indigenous Initiatives at UTM, was recently awarded a Learning & Education Advancement Fund (LEAF)
Aiyan Brown, MSc student in the Gradinaru Lab, receives the Biophysical Society of Canada (BSC) Travel Award to attend the 2025 Biophysical Society (BPS) annual meeting in Los Angeles this February.
The BSC Travel Award is a merit-based support for students and postdoctoral fellows whose research supervisor is a member of the BSC.
Congratulations on this achievement, Aiyan!
Minoli Dias, from the Halfar Group, and highlighted last week in Uof T news, says the baseline data she and her fellow researchers are constructing could "inform model projections that predict what future conditions will look like”. Read more here.
Researchers at U of T, in a collaboration between the Zilman Lab and Professor Josh Milstein of UTM’s Chemical and Physical Sciences Department, have discovered that confined bacterial populations can spontaneously organize, allowing weaker bacteria to coexist with stronger ones—an insight that may lead to new treatments for certain diseases.
