Recruited by the Department of Chemistry in 2019, Samy Cecioni is a young researcher who demonstrates exceptional research potential in the emerging fields of biological chemistry and glycomics. He has already published 30 articles in the most prestigious journals and contributed to three protected inventions, not to mention more than 2000 citations, which makes his scientific production globally influential.
In the opinion of his colleagues, he will certainly become an international leader in his discipline. Since his arrival at the Department of Chemistry, he has obtained numerous funding, notably from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Establishment of Young Professors (FRQNT), to name just these organizations. . Its research group is well established and recognized at the MIL Campus Science Complex and it already attracts dozens of local and international students.
Samy Cecioni is also involved in the libraries of the University of Montreal while devoting (another!) part of his schedule to participating in symposia or international events. Not only does he promote his area of 鈥嬧�媏xpertise on the international scene, but he promotes the entire University.
Samy Cecioni's exceptional commitment to research and teaching will undoubtedly contribute to significant progress in the field of chemistry and health in general. His ambitions are great... and he has all the potential and perseverance to achieve them.
“Our research team is developing new tools to accelerate discoveries in the field of glycosciences. The set of molecules modified by sugars is sometimes described as the dark matter of life, and we propose multidisciplinary approaches at the intersection of chemistry and biology to enable advances relevant to human health,” explains -he.

Our clinical and fundamental research studies novel mechanisms that may lead to the development of cardiometabolic diseases in humans, such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. More particularly, we study the role of atherogenic lipoproteins and dysfunctional adipose tissue in this process. Furthermore, we examine the effect of various nutritional interventions as therapeutic tools that could reverse early cardiometabolic abnormalities. These projects will contribute to the prevention of type 2 diabetes in humans, particularly in subjects with obesity.

I'm generally interested in how fish (and sometimes other aquatic organisms) are affected by different environmental stressors. These stressors include things like lack of oxygen, parasites, waves and fluctuating water flow, high salinity, etc. I am particularly interested in variation within species (intraspecific differences) along natural environmental gradients.

Dr. Smith is finding ways to contribute to the reduction of mental health disparities for African Americans. She does this by examining racism, social support, and mental health in the family context. She also investigates the barriers to, and facilitators of, mental health treatment among African American youth and their families.
More Information: 
She earned her M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University-Calumet and Ph.D. in Family Relations from Florida State University. Her research focuses on the effects of social stress exposure on mental and behavioral health outcomes within the African American family context and the role of social support as a protective factor.  A primary area of her research focuses on the intra- and interpersonal effects of racial discrimination on mental health in the parent-child and the couple context. Overall, findings from her research demonstrate within-group variation in how stress exposure impacts the African American family’s mental and behavioral health and highlights the need to go beyond between-group differences.

Freya is a Senior Lecturer in Tourism Management employed in UniSA Business.
Before joining the University of South Australia, Freya worked in development, development education and university teaching in international relations. Joining the School of Management of the University of South Australia in 2001 she brought these experiences and knowledges to her work in tourism developing an innovative research agenda.
Freya's  work focuses on human rights and social justice issues in tourism, hospitality and events.  My topical areas of interest include the impacts of tourism, tourism policy and planning, tourism sustainability, Indigenous tourism, politics of tourism and peace through tourism. Geographical areas of interest include Indigenous Australia, the Middle East, the Pacific Islands and the Asia-Pacific region. Recent reseach projects have explored Aboriginal tourism, sustainable cafes, native foods in restaurants and tourism's role in peace and conflict. She is a recipient of a Council of Australiasian University Educators in Tourism and Hospitality Fellows Award for a signficant contribution to hospitality and tourism research and education in 2013.
Freya's teaching philosophy is based on critical pedagogy and she tries to create learning environments that respect students' prior knowledge and experiences and that challenges them (and herself) to think in new ways and "outside of the box". Freya has on a national teaching award from the Australian Teaching and Learning Council in 2009, as well as university and divisional teaching awards. One area of pedagogical expertise is indigenising the curricula in business school contexts.
Her research is focused on projects that deliver new insights into the tourism phenomenon and that advocate a more just and sustainable tourism future.  Her work is engaged and she has formed research partnerships with tourism and hospitality stakeholders.  She particularly tries to work with "host communities" and the NGO sector who seek to shape tourism to their needs and for positive futures. She has conducted engaged research with Aboriginal tourism operators, an events organiser, a cafe owner and sustainability advocate, tourism NGOs, among others. She received a commendation for industry collaboration in 2014 from the UniSA Business School.
Freya  was recognized as an “Awesome Scholar in Tourism” by Women Academics in Tourism, an international group of female tourism academics committed to advancing gender equity in publishing and career advancement.  Awesome Scholars in Tourism represent tourism professors who inspire others “by their contributions, encouragement, creativity, virtues, selflessness, humour, humanity, and even madness.”
