Waterloo Engineering researchers at the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Lab (MSAM) will lead a multi-million-dollar initiative to scale up sustainable metal additive manufacturing.

Dr. Ehsan Toyserkani and Dr. Mihaela Vlasea, co-directors of MSAM and professors of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, will lead the brand-new Consortium for Sustainable Scale-up in Metal Additive Manufacturing as part of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario’s $5 million investment.

Three professors from Waterloo Engineering have received $6 million in provincial funding to support made-in-Ontario cutting-edge research projects.

The funding, delivered through the Ontario Research Fund, supports ground-breaking research that will advance knowledge, drive innovation and create a better future for the people of Ontario.

Dr. Norman Zhou, Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Waterloo, has been awarded the American Welding Society's (AWS) Comfort A. Adams Lecture Award. Named in honor of AWS founder and first President Dr. Comfort A. Adams, this award recognizes distinguished scientists or engineers for a lecture highlighting innovative advancements in welding.

Dr. Zhou delivered a lecture on “Nanojoining - A New Frontier in Welding and Joining of Materials” at the 2024 AWS Annual Meeting.
