A professor at ݮƵ Engineering is part of an ambitious, $24-million research project that received the green light from the federal government this week.

Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, is a co-applicant on CANSTOREnergy: Seasonal storage of renewable energy, a six-year initiative involving dozens of participants.

Two professors at the University of ݮƵ are members of a team that has been chosen to represent Canada at the next Venice Biennale showcase of architecture.

Adrian Blackwell and David Fortin, both professors at the ݮƵ School of Architecture, belong to Architects Against Housing Alienation (AAHA), which will launch Not for Sale!, an architectural activist campaign, at the Canada Pavilion in Giardini, Italy.

Two ݮƵ Engineering alumni were recognized by Canada's Clean50 for their contributions to sustainability. 

The annual celebrate leaders whose collaborative efforts help create a job-rich, cleaner, healthier, innovation based low-carbon economy that supports all Canadians.

Six professors at ݮƵ Engineering were awarded almost $1.5 million in federal funding today through a program created to encourage high-risk, high-reward, collaborative research.

The funding is part of $200 million in support announced for projects across the country through the New Frontiers in Research Fund. Campus-wide at the University of ݮƵ, 10 projects are to receive a total of almost $3 million.

The (IBET), led by ݮƵ chemical engineering professor Dr. Tizazu Mekonnen, is expanding its partnership with Mitacs to give Indigenous and Black PhD students the opportunity to conduct research at another Canadian IBET partner institution.

The IBET Connect Award, valued at $90,000, will be offered exclusively to by Mitacs. Up to 10 fellows will receive a stipend to travel to and conduct a two- to four-month research or innovation-based project at an IBET partner academic institution.

The University of ݮƵ's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) welcomed 17 elementary school classes on campus to learn about quantum information science and technology. 

These visits were part of a larger “Kids on Campus” program which provides school students with opportunities to see guest speakers and engage in activities focused on learning more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Organized by ݮƵ’s Engineering Outreach, the program includes visits to other stops on campus such as the RoboHub and the Sedra Student Design Centre.

ݮƵ-based e-commerce startup Perpetua is utilizing the power of co-op students to drive its global growth. 

Perpetua was co-founded by ݮƵ Engineering alumnus Rosco Hill (BASc '03, electrical and computer engineering) and fellow University alumnus Joe Rideout (BMath '03). Since opening its doors in 2016, the company has grown from 40 employees to more than 200.

A new smart material developed by researchers at ݮƵ Engineering is activated by both heat and electricity, making it the first ever to respond to two different stimuli.

The unique design paves the way for a wide variety of potential applications, including clothing that warms up while you walk from the car to the office in winter and vehicle bumpers that return to their original shape after a collision.

A student design team from the University of ݮƵ took home one of the top prizes from an international competition to design and build highly energy-efficient homes.

, which is made up primarily of engineering undergraduate students, finished first in the engineering category, one of 10 categories at the sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.

ݮƵ Engineering alumnus Dilan Badshah (BASc ’17, civil engineering) understands the benefits of co-operative education from his own experiences in the co-op program.

As a New York Alumni Chapter member, he is now passionate about building a ݮƵ community for current students working in New York City.
