The Governor General Gold Medal, one of the highest honours in academia and research in Canada, is awarded to Dr. Tejinder Singh, who graduated in 2020 from the Faculty of Engineering, has received the medal for highest standing in a doctoral program. It is the most prestigious award a graduate can attain in a Canadian university. The university nominates only one PhD graduate with highest academic standing from all fields of study. This medal celebrates the impactful research and scholarly excellence.

Electrical and computer engineering alumnus, Dr. Tejinder Singh, has won the Young Engineer Prize for his work on "Reconfigurable PCM GeTe-Based Latching 6-Bit Digital Switched Capacitor Bank" presented at the 2020 European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC). 

Dr. Tejinder Singh, former PhD student and currently a Research Associate under the supervision of Professor Raafat Mansour, was awarded Best Paper award with Honorable Mention among Top 10 papers at the prestigious 2021 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Atlanta, GA for his research on “Scalable Non-Volatile Chalcogenide Phase Change GeTe-Based Monolithically Integrated mmWave Crossbar Switch Matrix.”

Navjot Khaira and Armin Smajevic of CIRFEreceived Engineering Excellence Fellowships. These fellowships are awarded to the top candidates in Engineering fields. 

Navjot is currently holding an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS), a competitive provicial graduate scholarship. Navjot and Armin also received President's Graduate Scholarship for the duration of their fellowships.

Congratulations Navjot and Armin!

ECE Professor, Raafat Mansour, has been selected by IEEE Canada as the 2019 recipient of the  IEEE Canada A.G.L. McNaughton Award.
