Cooks throughout Asia put moist bamboo chopsticks into hot oil in a frying pan, watching the bubbles that form and listening to the sizzling sound they make as they burst to gauge the perfect cooking temperature.

Now, an international team of researchers, including a professor from À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering, has used the technique as inspiration to learn about the complex physics behind the seemingly simple trick.

A student who has already demonstrated a keen interest in innovation will start her studies at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering with backing from a prestigious scholarship.

Gurnirmal Kaur is one of four winners of scholarships, which provide $20,000 over four years to students from Brantford and Brant County who are entering university in science-related fields.

Researchers at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering lead two projects that were awarded a combined total of more than $200,000 by the federal government today.

Philip Beesley, a professor of architecture known for his striking work on living architecture, received $114,176 for a project called the Empathetic Spaces Partnership that involves a long list of co-applicants, collaborators and partners in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Australia.

Sarah Odinotski (BASc '22, nanotechnology engineering), Engineering's 2021 Co-op Student of the Year, was recently named a winner in the Kitchener-À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Oktoberfest Rogers Women of Year Awards for 2022.

Odinoski took the top award in the Young Adult Category. 

While she was an undergraduate student, Odinotski worked with Mahla Poudineh, an electrical and computer engineering professor, to develop a hydrogel-based microneedle biosensor for pH measurement.

A new short film inspired by the work of a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ School of Architecture professor is now available online.

Philip Beesley worked on the film entitled Cradle with Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, who are both based in London, England, and Salvador Breed, who is based in Amsterdam.

A media release on Cradle's premiere said that the film evokes the birth of life on earth.

Five À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering faculty members were elected fellows by the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) at its annual general meeting held on June 13. 

The new fellows include David Clausi of systems design engineering, Duane Cronin and Zhongchao Tan of mechanical and mechatronics, Karim Karim of electrical and computer engineering and Maria Anna Polock of civil and environmental engineering.

A graduate of the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ School of Architecture has been recognized by a national organization for young entrepreneurs for her work to make fashion greener.

Iris Redinger (BAS ’21) was one of five winners of Mitacs Entrepreneur Awards honoured at a recent event in Montreal for her À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ-based startup company, .

Four graduating À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering students will represent their class at spring convocation ceremonies on June 17 and 18.

Ellen McGee (BASc ’22, systems design engineering), Chukwunonso Jeffery Moneme (BASc ’22, chemical engineering), Siddharth Kumar (BASc ’22, mechanical engineering) and Veraj Paruthi (BASc ’22, computer engineering) were chosen by their peers based on social and academic contributions.

A key puzzle piece fell into place today with the announcement of $1.65 million in federal funding for a joint training program involving the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and partners in Germany.

Support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) gives the green light to a nine-year initiative to train dozens of graduate students and help bring promising new two-dimensional materials out of the laboratory and into the marketplace.

A student at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering has won a $1,000 scholarship through a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the Royal Canadian Air Force.
