More than a year after publishing a paper that attracted worldwide attention, a Waterloo Engineering researcher is working towards commercialization of technology to tackle climate change.
Yimin Wu, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, was inspired by nature to create an “artificial leaf” that converts harmful carbon dioxide into an alternative fuel.
A faculty member of Waterloo’s electrical and computer engineering (ECE) department has been named a 2021 fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), the country’s longest-standing engineering society.
A new study by Waterloo Engineering researchers found that targeting wetland restoration in heavily farmed areas would dramatically reduce the amount of nitrogen polluting rivers, lakes and coastal areas.
The researchers, who collaborated with a University of Waterloo alumnus who is now a professor at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), examined detailed data on wetland locations and nitrogen loads from fertilizer on farm fields throughout the United States.
