Five former nanotechnology engineering students at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ have come a long way since they came together over a shared interest in optics and frustration with the poor quality of their smartphone photographs.

Just over a year after they teamed up, their startup technology company, , earned international attention with the announcement today that it is a worldwide runner-up for the 2020 James Dyson Award for student inventors.

Companies founded by À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering alumni took the top two spots in an annual list of the fastest-growing technology companies in Canada.

Heading the Technology Fast 50 list, compiled by professional services firm Deloitte, is Kitchener-based , which develops smart tools to enhance the accuracy of orthopedic surgery, increase hospital efficiencies and improve the lives of patients.

One of the surest signs that Sam Dugan, 22, is a born entrepreneur might be this: he got the brainwave for his latest business venture, completely out of the blue, when he was on a date.

Two years later, while juggling studies as a third-year mechatronics engineering student at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, he has turned that idea into a startup technology company to reduce injuries at ski resorts.

A research team led by a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering professor has developed technology to track and measure environmental degradation in rivers.

Bruce MacVicar, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, is using synthetic stone tracers to monitor how sediment is transported in rivers during floods.

The movement of sediment has an important impact on the health of rivers and infrastructure such as bridges and pipelines.
