Engineering research bids win New Frontiers funding
Three projects led by Waterloo Engineering professors have each won $250,000 in funding through a federal competition designed to bring disciplines together to explore new research directions.
Parsin Haji Reza, Sushanta Mitra and Valerie Ward all made successful bids to the New Frontiers in Research Fund through the 2019 Exploration program to promote risk-taking and innovation.
They were among eight successful applications campus-wide at the University of Waterloo. Across the country, $46.3 million was awarded over two years to support 186 research projects.
