anywhere. The provision of a suite of advanced scientific software
on your laptop that is reflective of the type used in industry, and
its integration into your curriculum are unique features that
provide you with a competitive advantage in your future career.
All of our undergraduate Science programs are founded on sets
of interrelated courses that provide core subject knowledge in the
discipline, preparing you for a career or further study upon
graduation, including post-degree studies in areas such as
medicine or graduate school. Several students in each of our
graduating classes have won distinguished scholarships to
pursue graduate studies at UOIT or other prestigious universities
elsewhere, and several others have been accepted to Canadian
and international medical schools.
Our programs in Applied and Industrial Mathematics and Forensic
Science are excellent examples of programs that combine basic
disciplinary studies with real-world applications. Many of our other
programs have optional specializations that enable you to pursue
studies oriented towards an important and relevant real-world
theme. Our Biological Science program offers specializations in
Environmental Toxicology, Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical
Biotechnology; our Chemistry program offers specializations in
Biological Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry; our Computing
Science program offers specializations in Digital Forensics and
Digital Media; and our Physics program offers specializations in
Energy and the Environment, Forensic Physics and Medical Physics.
Minor programs in traditional discipline areas are also available for
study in conjunction with each major program.
In addition to our four-year honours programs, we offer five-year
co-operative education programs and two enhanced five-year
Science-based undergraduate programs. Our Concurrent
Science/Education program combines a Bachelor of Science
(Honours) degree with a Bachelor of Education degree, preparing
you to become a high school science teacher; and our Physical
Sciences and Management and Biological Sciences and
Management programs provide a unique combination of science
degrees and business courses.
The Faculty of Science is now pleased to offer its first PhD
programs in Applied Bioscience and Computer Science, with our
first intake of students beginning in September 2009. We also
offer Master’s degree programs in Applied Bioscience; Computer
Science; Materials Science; and Modelling and Computational
Science, providing leading-edge graduate study opportunities.
We've brought the best and brightest minds from around the
world to our university and to our Faculty of Science. Our
professors challenge and inspire you to push your boundaries of
thinking and learning. They have one of the highest proportions of
PhDs and highest research grant success rates among Canadian
universities with two of our professors holding distinguished
Canada Research Chair positions. All of our professors are
approachable and supportive, inside and outside of the
classroom.
We are proud of the recognition our faculty members receive for
their teaching excellence. For example, Mathematics Senior
Laboratory Instructor Ilona Kletskin was the recipient of the UOIT
Complementary Faculty Teaching Award for 2005-2006; Rupinder
Brar, a physics lecturer, was named a top-10 finalist of the 2007
TVOntario's Best Lecturer competition; and Cristina Banica
received the UOIT Teaching Assistant Award for 2006-2007. With
our limited-size lecture classrooms and small-size tutorial
classes, you get personal attention from professors and staff.
Our programs are supported by state-of-the-art laboratories and
equipment.
UOIT is one of the only universities in the world that, from its
inception, has had a goal of being a leading research-intensive
and highly student-centric institution, and this is reflected in the
mission statement of the Faculty of Science. Recognizing the fact
that enhanced learning opportunities can occur outside the
classroom and in the research laboratories of its professors, the
Faculty of Science melds these dual goals by giving you the
opportunity to participate in one of the most intensive
undergraduate research programs in the country. Summer
research assistantships are available for students to work in paid
positions with their professors, immediately following their first
year of studies. We also offer a limited number of summer
research apprenticeship positions to incoming students the
summer before they enter a UOIT Science program.
As you read through these pages, you'll find more information
about our programs and opportunities. Please visit our website at
www.science.uoit.ca to obtain the most up-to-date information
concerning our programs and activities. I also encourage you to
visit our campus and meet with me, our professors and our

UNDERGRADUATE
RESEARCH
OPPORTUNITIES
As a vital aspect of the university science experience, our Faculty of
Science strongly emphasizes the importance and provision of research
opportunities to undergraduate students.
These opportunities also contribute to the advanced training of Canada's
next generation of science workers. We implement this goal through our
extensive Science Undergraduate Student Research Awards (SUSRA)
program, which provides undergraduate science students with
opportunities to participate in paid research assistantships under the
mentorship of science faculty members and their research teams.
A limited number of Summer Research Apprenticeship awards are also
available to qualified incoming high school students in the summer
preceding their first semester in a UOIT Science program.
In Summer 2009, a number of undergraduate Science students
participated in research programs, including students funded from the
prestigious Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)
Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) competition. Our faculty
members have received significant research funding from NSERC, the
Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Ontario Research Fund (ORF)
and other granting agencies and industries. Ninety per cent of eligible
science faculty members hold NSERC Discovery Grants, a widely
accepted key indicator of faculty research success in science and
engineering.
Our faculty members use their research grants in part to support
undergraduate and graduate student research, post-doctoral fellowships
and research associates. As an undergraduate science student at UOIT,
you will have the opportunity to collaborate with your professors on their
research projects, turning innovative ideas into real solutions. Faculty
members conduct research across many areas of science with a primary
focus in five fields:
:: Applied bioscience;
:: Computational and computer science;
:: Energy;
:: Materials science; and
:: Mathematical modelling.

Summary
Despite the extensive mobile resources available at UOIT, there are few
examinations or evaluations performed on these devices due to lack of
security, software conflicts and possible cheating. This research presents
a new protected and controlled environment in the form of a customized,
non-persistent Linux image on a USB flash drive. When the user loads
the operating system, a configuration script is run that will set up the
user environment for the specific test or exam being written. The
professor or lecturer issuing the exam will select which programs,
Internet addresses and resources the student will be allowed to use prior
to the exam. The configuration script is implemented and the secure
environment begins. The Linux image has been modified to not allow
access to other storage devices on the computer internally or connected
externally. The rest of the system is controlled by monitoring software
that includes an internal firewall, software watchdog and restriction of
permissions to executable binaries. This technology will be used during
the 2009-2010 academic year by a number of professors to demonstrate
feasibility and help find areas for improvement.
USING DIRECTED HEAT TO OPTIMIZE THE PRODUCTION OF
HIGH QUALITY CRYSTALLINE SEMICONDUCTORS
Student researcher
Devon Armstrong, fifth-year student, Concurrent Education – Applied
Mathematics program
Supervisor
Dr. Sean Bohun
Summary
In industry, there is currently a need to grow high quality crystalline
semiconductors. However, large portions of crystal cannot be used because
of defects produced during the growth process. A major source of these
defects is the thermal stress from the growth initiated at the seed crystal.
By modelling the crystal growth from the seed, the effects of changing the
applied temperature to the top of the extracted crystal to reduce the
thermal stress during this initial stage are examined. The optimal heat flux
to minimize the thermal stress is computed for a conical crystal.

CERAMIC CARBON ELECTRODES FOR FUEL FELLS:
THE ROLE OF THE CARBON SUPPORT

Student researcher
Kathryn Navarro, fourth-year student, Concurrent Education - Chemistry program

Supervisor
Dr. Brad Easton

Summary
Fuel cell electrodes are typically composed of a catalyst layer which
contains Nafion. Previous work in the lab has shown that ceramic carbon
electrodes (CCE) are a promising substitute for Nafion-based catalyst
layers. This work investigates the role of the carbon support, specifically
the use of Black Pearls 2000 - a highly oxidized, high surface area
carbon black. Through the use of the sol-gel process, CCE’s were
produced using 20 per cent platinum (Pt) on Black Pearls and tetra
ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the organosilane precursor. This process
involved polymerization of silicon dioxide (SiO2) throughout the carbon
supported Pt catalyst. Electrochemical tests (cyclic voltammetry and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) were performed and compared
with those achieved with Nafion. An overview of the preliminary physical
and electrochemical characterizations will be presented upon completion.

OPTIMISATION OF A METHOD TO QUANTIFY AMINO ACIDS

IN SOIL USING HPLC-UV/VIS

Student researcher
Melissa Stogran, fourth-year student, Chemistry program

Supervisors
Dr. Shari Forbes and Dr. David Carter (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

Summary
Decomposition chemistry is the study of the chemical processes that
tissues undergo after death. The chemistry and rate of these changes
are important in the field of forensic science and may be used to
estimate time-since-death (post-mortem interval). There are many
products that are formed during decomposition; carbohydrates degrade
into water and carbon dioxide, lipids degrade into fatty acids and proteins
break down into products such as polypeptides, amino acids and
ammonium. It is the amino acid product that is of interest in this study.
These products are generally contained in the decomposition fluids that
leach into the soil surrounding the body.
As these chemical processes are better understood, it is becoming
more common to investigate the soil in relation to decomposition.
A novel method to quantify the amino acids found in the soil beneath
decomposing pig carcasses has been optimised. Amino acids were
extracted from soil using ammonium acetate, derivatised with
phenylisothiocyanate and analysed using high performance liquid
chromatography ultraviolet-visible (HPLC-UV/Vis) spectroscopy. Several
amino acids were found to have concentrations significantly higher than
that of the control. This method hopes to correlate the extraction and
quantification of amino acids with time interval in soil, leading to a new
method for estimating post-mortem intervals.
