Monitoring device developed to assess lungs before transplants
Waterloo Engineering researchers and medical clinicians are collaborating on a testing tool to help assess the viability of donated lungs and potentially improve patient outcomes in transplant cases.
The new device, called MetaboSense, was developed during a joint project involving Waterloo researchers and doctors at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, including its leading lung transplant program.
Alum’s investment buoys AI-driven water risk research
Dr. John Quilty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering leads a graduate student research team building artificial intelligence (AI) models that help communities better anticipate and respond to water-related risks.
The research is supported by the Sinnathamby Professorship in AI for Sustainable Solutions in the Faculty of Engineering, established by University of Waterloo alum Thiru Sinnathamby (BASc ’01, electrical engineering) with an investment of $500,000.
