Engineering researchers are among more than 100 University of Waterloo faculty members receiving new federal support to pursue long-term, high-impact discovery research.
The funding is part of over $32 million awarded to Waterloo through a national investment by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), supporting researchers at institutions across the country.
Professor Karim Sallaudin Karim received support through the NSERC Discovery program for his work on radiation detectors and systems for spectral and phase contrast X-ray imaging. Professors Rodrigo Costa, Moojan Ghafurian, HJ Kwon, Veronika Magdanz, Kevin Musselman, Hamed Shahsavan, Ting Tsui and Chul Min Yeum also received NFRF Exploration grants for bold, interdisciplinary projects that push the boundaries of conventional research.
