Abstract Robotic manipulation has become an enabling technology for experimental studies of living biological samples such as cells, tissues, and organisms. In this talk, I will introduce our recent research on developing robotic devices and systems for performing a variety of manipulation tasks on small model organisms including Drosophila larva and C. elegans. We have […]
Abstract Many chemical engineering courses are still delivered in the traditional course format of lectures with assignments and examinations as assessments. In addition, applications in the oil and gas industry are frequently used to illustrate concepts. This format and examples do not effectively engage many students. Creative ways of incorporating active-learning opportunities with relatable and/or […]
Canada is grappling with a critical doctor shortage, leaving over six million Canadians without access to a primary care physician. And it’s not hitting everyone equally—marginalized communities are feeling the impact the most. What if we could use engineering tools to make health care more affordable, accessible and equitable? Enter human-centered automation. Professor Enid Montague is leading innovative […]

Talented students from Canada’s #1 Engineering School will be in town for an exciting industry tour. Join us for a networking event that offers a unique opportunity to connect with PEY Co-op students, strengthen […]
Abstract As people spend most of our time indoors, exposure to indoor pollutants can have major health impacts. Indoor air quality (IAQ) also plays a significant role in cognitive performance and learning, making it particularly important in classroom environments. The rise in availability of low-cost air pollutant sensors provides a growing opportunity to leverage low-cost […]
Abstract Electrocatalysis has the potential to revolutionize the production of chemicals and consumer goods in an environmentally sustainable manner, by replacing traditional fossil fuel based processes with energy-efficient technologies powered by renewable electricity. This approach also holds great promise in addressing global challenges related to the remediation of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) water pollutants. […]
Abstract Our current linear way of producing chemicals and fuels is unsustainable. The petrochemical industry needs to transform from its current fossil basis to renewable resources for its energy and raw materials. Since chemicals and most fuels cannot be decarbonized in the literal sense, renewable carbon sources are needed to close the carbon cycle. In […]
