Graduate students within the School of Health Policy and Management (SHPM) who are tackling issues from racial inequities in mental health care to workforce shortages in hospitals were recognized for research excellence with Health Graduate Research Awards. The awards highlight work from across the graduate unit within SHPM that specializes in health policy and equity, […]
What if AI could help scientists better understand the mysteries of how the brain allows humans to see – and be fooled by – the world around them? “There’s a lot we don’t understand about how we see the world,” says Richard Murray, a professor in York University’s Faculty of Health and director of the […]
For Professor Mary Goitom, graduate-level teaching is grounded in dialogue, reflection and student voice – a practise recognized with two teaching awards for her impact on graduate education at York University and beyond. In recognition of excellence in teaching and supervision, as well as leadership in program and curriculum development, Goitom has earned the 2025-26 […]
New research from York University's Faculty of Graduate Studies sheds light on how the brain adjusts during movement with findings that could inform how people relearn skills, including in rehabilitation settings. Research led by PhD candidate Raphael Gastrock, supervised by Faculty of Health Professor Denise Henriques and research associate Bernard Marius ’t Hart, examines what […]
For some PhD students, the prospect of a career outside academia can come with feelings of failure or uncertainty. A new program at York University is trying to change that. Beyond the Academy is a six-week initiative developed by Zachary Spicer, associate professor in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS) and head […]
York University graduate students Martin Barakov, Massimiliano Muci and Sepideh HajiHosseinKhani may have different focus points for their studies, but they will all pursue research in Germany this year as recipients of an academic exchange grant. DAAD, the German Academic Exchange Service, is the world's largest funding organization for international academic exchange. Through its Research […]
Humanity is consuming natural resources much faster than the planet can replenish them, according to new global data from York University. Eric Miller is director of York’s Ecological Footprint Initiative – a multidisciplinary group of scholars, students and organizations working to advance understanding of the world’s ecological footprint and biocapacity. He warns that data reflects a 70 per cent overshoot of the planet’s […]
York University researchers have produced the first comprehensive map of Canada’s data centre landscape, offering new insight into where facilities are, where they are being built and what their rapid growth could mean. “There is very little systematic evidence to inform that discussion,” says Alexander Carlo, a postdoctoral researcher at Schulich. “At a basic level, we […]
Students at York University captured early-morning images of NASA’s Artemis II Orion capsule from the Allan I. Carswell Observatory (AICO), contributing tracking data and a moving image as the spacecraft carried Canada’s first astronaut to fly around the moon. The observation was led by graduate student Sunna Withers and supported by Nakul Sethuram Ramjee, an undergraduate student. Ramjee […]
A new international study involving York University researcher expertise shows that AI could help make liver transplant decisions more consistent, transparent and evidence-based, especially when resources are limited. “Liver transplantation is a rare case in medicine where access to a life-saving treatment is limited by organ availability,” explains co-senior author Divya Sharma, assistant professor in the Faculty […]
