A researcher at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering has been recognized by an international magazine dedicated to laboratory medicine for his work using artificial intelligence (AI) and medical imaging to diagnose cancer.

Hamid Tizhoosh, a professor of systems design engineering, was named to the 2020 Power List released annually by .

Four local companies with roots at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering will receive a total of more than $10 million in federal funding to help grow and expand around the world.

Intellijoint Surgical, SSIMWAVE, KA Imaging and TeTechS are among eight À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Region companies in all named for backing in an announcement by Mélanie Joly, the minister of economic development.

Karim Karim is a À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering professor and co-founder of KA Imaging.

As director of the School of Architecture at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering, Anne Bordeleau is turning her mind during the COVID-19 pandemic to some of the big questions it raises for her profession and for society as a whole.

In a question-and-answer feature released today, Bordeleau considers broad implications for future building designs, the choice of building materials and other architecture-related issues.

Ingrid Roorda, Jay Shah and Alan Wang all have at least one thing in common - high praise for the co-operative education system during their time as undergraduate students at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering.

Roorda is a fourth-year mechanical engineering student. Shah has had great success as an entrepreneur and a mentor since earning a mechatronics engineering degree in 2011. Wang graduated from computer engineering last year and now works at a Toronto technology startup.

A professor at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering is leading research on the development of a spray that would kill the virus that causes COVID-19 on contact.

The spray would be used to coat personal protective equipment and high-touch surfaces to immediately deactivate the virus and help contain the spread of the disease.

A degree from À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering proved to be the start of a twisting, rewarding career path for alumnus Abhay Patel (BASc '05).

After graduating from the chemical engineering program, he pursued an interest in renewable energy before turning to health care and its opportunities for entrepreneurship.

Patel now has five pharmacies in À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Region and some unique insights into the COVID-19 pandemic from the vantage point of an owner-operator.

Md. Abdul Chowdhury and his teammates never did get their virtual spaceship safely to Kepler-438b, an exoplanet situated hundreds of light years from Earth.

But all the hours they spent trying certainly weren’t wasted.

Whether they were able to conquer the difficult spaceship challenge or not, about 50 first-year engineering students at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ came away from a recent three-day event with valuable new technical skills and experience collaborating on complex problems in groups of up to 16 people.

A professor at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering has been elected to a two-year term as chair of the world's largest professional organization devoted to computer science.

Ladan Tahvildari, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, will lead the , the voice of software engineering within the IEEE and the Computer Society, as it works to advance awareness, and support education and training through conferences, workshops and other professional activities.

A paper written by researchers in two À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering departments has captured the European Group for Intelligent Computing in Engineering (eg-ice) 2020 award for best paper based on improving the safety and productivity of masonry workers.

A graduate student at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Engineering has won the campus-wide Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ for the third straight year.

Jasdeep Multani of the School of Architecture was joined on the podium by third-place finisher Robert Bennnett, a master’s student in electrical and computer engineering, to give the Faculty two of the top three spots.
