Congratulations to Lucas Wen Tang, a junior graduate student, for becoming the recipient of a Minister of Colleges and Universities’ Award of Excellence in the Rising Star category.
Brian Mao and Ben Zhang, two graduate students from the University of Waterloo and members of a multi-university team compete at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the Indy Autonomous Challenge.
MME professor, Ehsan Toyserkani, worked in collaboration with fellow co-authors to publish a new book titled Metal Additive Manufacturing.
This textbook is one of the firsts to link the basics of fundamental undergraduate Engineering courses with metal additive manufacturing processes. It serves as an introduction to principal physical concepts, metal additive manufacturing processes, and their applications. This book can be used as foundational material for a core MME undergraduate course, as well as graduate courses.
Although Carolyn's calendar is still jam packed with commitments (member of 3 boards of directors, 2 CSA committees, 2 ACI committees, treasurer of a Probus club, supervising 2 grad students, among others), at least she'll be removing one of them, that of teaching our undergraduates!
A medical startup company headed by an MME alumnus has secured $20 million in new funding to fuel expansion and the development and commercialization of its flagship product.

Student team featuring members from Waterloo Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering took home $5,000 each from the recent Concept $5k pitch competition for Fall 2021. Concept is an experiential entrepreneurship and pre-incubator program at the University of Waterloo. It is provided by Velocity, an incubator for early stage, pre-send startup companies.
Congratulations to Jim Baleshta, Allyson Giannikouris, Jian Zhou, and Eugene Li on becoming the recipients of the Pearl Sullivan Outstanding Staff Teaching Award and the honorees of the Faculty’s outstanding teaching excellence and staff awards.
Kevin's research was featured in AIP SciLight, Covering Surfaces with Copper Destroys Coronavirus. The group found that thin films of the metal could have virucidal uses on common surfaces, masks. They tested different antiviral coatings against a coronavirus and found that only the Cu-containing coatings killed the virus.
Congratulations to Peter Cornelisse and Lucas Godkin, both fourth-year mechanical engineering students, for receiving $25,000 as the winners of the NU National Student Award for Outstanding Social Entrepreneurship.
MME professor, Hamid Jahed, and Postdoctoral Fellow, Ali Roostaei, worked in collaboration to publish a new book titled the Cyclic Plasticity of Metals: Modeling Fundamentals and Applications.
