AquaSensing, a tech startup started by MME professor Norman Zhou and ECE professor George Shaker, have earned a spot in the finals of an international pitch competition for water innovation.
The duo booked its spot in the global Water Dragons pitch competition after winning second place in the preliminal round against eight other companies.
The invention at the core of the company, which now consists of over a dozen technical developers, is a wireless, battery-free sensor that detects leaks to prevent water damage in apartments, offices and other buildings.
Congratulations to both professor Zhou and professor Shaker!

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
