Waterloo Engineering researchers have paired inexpensive wireless communication antennas with artificial intelligence (AI) to improve how doctors can detect bone fractures.

Led by Dr. Omar Ramahi, an electrical and computer engineering professor, the team has created a new system to detect bone fractures that is fast, accurate and safe.

Congratulations to former PhD students, Mushu Li, Nan Cheng, Jie Gao, Yinlu Wang, and Lian Zhao, and Professor Sherman Shen for winning the IEEE Best Land Transportation Paper Award for their paper: “Energy-Efficient UAV-Assisted Mobile Edge Computing: Resource Allocation and Trajectory Optimization,” IEEE Trans Veh. Techn., Vol. 69, No. 3, pp. 3424-3438, February 2020.

Today, fifty-four new Fellows were elected to the Canadian Academy of Engineering - two of those new Fellows are University of Waterloo electrical and computer engineering professors – professors Ladan Tahvildari and Alfred Yu.

The Academy's President, Dr. Soheil Asgarpour commented: “Over the past 37 years, Fellows of the Academy have provided engineering leadership in the fields of education, infrastructure, innovation, energy, transportation, and many more. New Fellows have been selected for their outstanding contributions to engineering in Canada and around the world and for their service as role models in their fields and to their communities.”
