U of T Engineering’s Next Generation of Researchers Boosted with Early Researcher Awards
The fuel cell holds great promise as a technology that could well provide a way of powering our vehicles with much less energy use and environmental damage. But the technology isn’t quite right – yet. Fortunately, U of T Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Professor Aimy Bazylak is on the case. She is focusing on the fact […]

Professor Jim Wallace (MIE) has been named as a recipient of the 2012 President’s Teaching Award, U of T’s highest honour for teaching. He also now becomes a member of the prestigious U of T Teaching Academy. Other U of T winners include Senior Lecturer Karen Reid, Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Arts & Science and […]
MIE Professors Honoured by Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering
Five U of T Engineering professors from the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering (MIE) have been honoured by the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME) for their achievements in, and contributions to, the field. Professor Chul B. Park is the 2012 recipient of the C.N. Downing Award for distinguished service to CSME over many years. Professor […]
Engineering Professor Develops Microfluidic Chips For Bitumen Gas Analysis
Mechanical Engineering Professor David Sinton and his research team have developed a process to analyze the behavior of bitumen in reservoirs using a microfluidic chip, a tool commonly associated with the field of medical diagnostics. The process may reduce the cost and time of analyzing bitumen-gas interaction in heavy oil and bitumen reservoirs. Professor Sinton and postdoctoral […]
Eight Ways to Improve Society, the Economy and the Environment
U of T Engineering research with its direct impact on improving life on Earth – and the planet itself — got a huge boost with on February 13 with more than $3.2-million from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). The funding comes through NSERC’s Strategic Project Grants (SPG) program, which is […]
Professor Elected ASME Fellow
Professor David A. Steinman (MIE/IBBME) has been elected Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Fellowship is the highest elected grade of membership within ASME, the attainment of which recognizes exceptional engineering achievements and contributions to the engineering profession. Professor Steinman’s research focuses on the integration of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and medical imaging to […]
Making the Healthcare System More Efficient
Crowded emergency rooms and long waiting lists are just a few of the many “bottlenecks” that affect the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Professor Michael Carter (MIE), of the Centre for Research in Healthcare Engineering (CRHE) at U of T, was recently on Business News Network (BNN) to discuss how engineering can be used to improve the healthcare system. One […]
MIE Professor Receives Award from the American Physical Society
Professor Andreas Mandelis (MIE) has received the 2012 American Physical Society’s Joseph F. Keithley Award for Advances in Measurement Science for his seminal contributions to photothermal science and the application of innovative techniques to a variety of real-world problems. A Canada Research Chair in Diffusion-Wave Sciences and Technologies, Professor Mandelis has authored more than 300 refereed papers […]
MIE Professor Emeritus Receives Annual Award from the British Society of Rheology
Professor Emeritus David F. James (MIE) has received the 2011 Annual Award from the British Society of Rheology (BSR) for his contributions to the understanding of flow properties of viscoelastic fluids. Professor James achieved fame for his “tubeless siphon,” liquid that can flow uphill, which he discovered while a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology. […]
