MME professor elected as Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering
New Fellows for the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) have recently been elected, and among them is Dr. Ehsan Toyserkani, a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering and Canada Research Chair in Additive Manufacturing (AM). His election to the CAE extends beyond our borders. His pioneering contributions to the modeling simulation, in-situ monitoring, and quality assurance of metal AM have earned him national and global acclaim.
Team shines in prestigious international competition
Team Collaborative Deliciousness, led by Dr. Yue Hu and composed of team members Jeffery Lee (MASc in progress, mechatronics) and Cheng Tang, an undergraduate student in computer engineering, was selected as one of three finalists in the prestigious international competition for the KUKA Innovation Award at Hannover Messe, one of the world's largest industrial trade fairs. This year's theme was "Robots for the People."
Student success at AI climate competition
Three students, including a master’s student from mechatronics engineering, have been awarded $17,000 after winning ClimateHack.AI, an international competition that focuses on machine learning in climate solutions.
