Dr. Carolyn Ren, a professor in our department, leads the Waterloo Microfluidics Laboratory, a place where students at all levels can contribute to the research and development of innovative technologies that improve lives.
Dr. Duane Cronin has recently been awarded $1.4 million in funding for his Tier 1 NSERC Canada Research Chair in Trauma Biomechanics and Injury Prevention. The research focuses on computational human body models that can predict injury and provide critical data on the biomechanics of injuries that happen during crashes.
Jordan Lin (BASc ‘22, mechanical engineering) had a goal in mind and was determined to pursue it. During his undergrad, Lin was a research associate for Access to Energy Institute (A2EI), a non-profit institution, during his co-op term. This experience sparked his interest in sustainability – a journey he had yet to realize he would continue.
