Research Projects
For 2022-2023 my work is focused on addressing the climate change crisis by developing –locally and internationally— an ecosystem of innovation focused on providing new practical opportunities for those interested in designing and implementing paradigm-shifting climate change solutions parks using work-integrated learning approaches.
To achieve the above, I have joined the Board of Governors and the Senate of York University where I focus on achieving a carbon-free university that can provide a world-class destination to enable learning by doing on how to solve the climate change emergency declared by the Canadian Federal Government.
