Researchers join advanced manufacturing network

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

Researchers at the University of Waterloo are joining a major effort to help make Canadian manufacturers more competitive through the use of computer modelling.

Led by Kaan Erkorkmaz, a professor of mechanical and mechatronics engineering, the Waterloo team is in line for $1.3 million in funding over five years to tackle complex issues in advanced manufacturing.

Its work is part of an overall research project – the second phase of the Canadian Network for Research and Innovation in Machining Technology (CANRIMT) – involving 17 professors at seven universities and a total of $8.3 million in funding from all sources.
