An undergraduate student at Waterloo Engineering made an impressive mark in a high-tech area of 3D printing during a co-op work term last year.

Kayley Ting, who is studying biomedical engineering, worked with experts at the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada to solve a messy problem in tomographic 3D printing, which involves the use of light to create objects from photocurable resin in vials.

A company founded by two Waterloo Engineering professors has made an international list of the most promising artificial intelligence (AI) startups for the third straight year.

Many many students, faculty and staff made a beautiful Memorial Video for Professor Igor Ivkovic which was enjoyed live by nearly 600 people on March 31, 2021. The video was so fitting a tribute to Igor’s generous roles in our community and in all of our lives. He will be greatly missed. The video can still be watched at the following link:

The Amit and Meena Chakma Awards for Exceptional Teaching by a Student for 2021 will be presented to four student teachers this year. Jeff Casello, associate vice-president, graduate studies and postdoctoral affairs, and chair of the selection committee provided the report to the University's Senate on Monday this week.

Igor Ivkovic will be recognized with one of four University of Waterloo Distinguished Teacher Awards at Spring Convocation 2021.

The faculty, staff and student community of the Waterloo Systems Design Engineering Department invite you to join them online to celebrate the many contributions of “Professor Igor”.

The Systems Design Engineering research team also includes PhD student William McNally and Prof. Alex Wong.

Robotics researchers are developing exoskeleton legs capable of thinking and making control decisions on their own using sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

The Waterloo AI Institute provides twelve one-time awards valued at $5,000 each. One Master’s student and one Ph.D. student from each of the University’s six faculties were chosen to receive a scholarship. This year Shivam Kalra and Milad Sikaroudi, Ph.D. students from Kimia Lab have been awarded the AI scholarship.

Research students Inna Novodchuk and Muhammed Kayaharman co-advised by Prof. Eihab Abdel-Rahman at the University of Waterloo, Department of Systems Design Engineering, are developing a COVID-19 biosensor.
