The next big innovation to hit the marketplace could be among the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ student projects on display at the annual Capstone Design symposiaÌýbeginning March 16.Ìý

Senior-year engineering students at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ will exhibitÌýprojectsÌýranging from a technology that reduces agricultural water waste through intelligent irrigation systems to a device that may help people with Parkinson`s disease avoid falls.

A À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering researcher has receivedÌýan E.W.RÌýSteacie Memorial Fellowship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) for his work in developing new materials that make batteries and fuel cells smaller, lighter and longer lasting.

Garry Rempel, University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Chemical Engineering professor, was invested as a Member of the Order of Canada. He received his Order of Canada from his Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston in a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on February 12, 2016.

The 2015-2016 Murray Moo-Young Biotechnology Scholarship has been awarded to two Chemical Engineering students: Brandon Seo, a MASc student who is being supervised by Professor Ting Tsui, and Adam Westbrook, a PhD student who is being supervised by Professor Perry Chou.

The Murray Moo-Young Biotechnology Scholarship was established in 1982 with a donation by Distinguished Professor Emeritus Murray Moo-Young to encourage research of bioprocessing strategies in industrial biomanufacturing and environmental bioremediation.

We are pleased to introduce Professor Evelyn Yim to the Department of Chemical Engineering. Her research interests include nanofabrication technologies and stem cell culture. Evelyn’s work on stem cells, nanofabrication and biomaterials supports the advancement of healthcare technologies to repair, replace or regenerate damaged tissue and organ structures.

Ìýhas formally activated itsÌýhalogenatedÌýdrug recovery (HDR) system, developed through a research initiative lead byÌýBill Anderson, professor of chemical engineering, andÌýÌýof Cambridge. This new technology will help battle climate change as it captures wasteÌýanestheticÌýgases exhaled by patients undergoing surgery.
