The Faculty of Science is pleased to share two awards available for students participating in a Field Study Semester (FSS) in the 2026-2027 or 2027-2028 academic year.

�鶹��ý��վ team awarded CIFAR AI Safety Catalyst Grant to advance developer oversight in AI-assisted coding

admin — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 16:02:25 +0000

�鶹��ý��վ team aims to develop guidelines, tools, and policy insights that help software engineers work safely and effectively with AI-assisted coding systems.

A �鶹��ý��վ research team is tackling one of AI’s fastest-moving challenges: how software developers can steer and safeguard code as AI systems become capable of writing large portions of software on their own.

Freshwater browning threatens growth and populations of economically important fish, �鶹��ý��վ researchers say

admin — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 15:30:53 +0000

Freshwater browning is stunting fish growth of some species, shrinking populations of others and changing the composition of fish communities, �鶹��ý��վ-led research suggests. “Browning” refers to freshwater bodies turning tea-coloured, a phenomenon driven by higher levels of dissolved organic matter and/or higher levels of iron in the water. Causes include changes in land use and climate, and reduced acid precipitation.

The findings indicate that changes in land use and climate are affecting biodiversity and how ecosystems function, with implications for fisheries management.

�鶹��ý��վ researchers develop a cheaper, safer material for use in solar panels, sensors and optical devices

admin — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 16:38:33 +0000

Using proteins from a common tobacco plant virus, �鶹��ý��վ chemistry researchers have developed a simple, eco-friendly way to arrange gold nanoparticles into ultrathin sheets, strengthening the particles’ optical properties. The result: cheaper, safer materials for solar panels, sensors and advanced optical devices.
