Three Engineering professors have received funding under the federal Automotive Sector Partnership program, for an energy storage system for cars that will reduce start-up emissions, and for a more fuel-efficient vehicle transmission system. Professors Masahiro Kawaji and Honghi Tran of Chemical Engineering & Applied…
Engineering at U of T emerged a winner on Thursday when its researchers received several funding awards from Ontario’s Ministry of Research and Innovation. No fewer than four Engineering faculty members received Early Researcher Awards (ERA), which provide significant financial support…
Aircraft wing designers have drawn their inspiration from birds since the dawn of aviation. But engineers are still finding ways of improving design based on examples found in the ornithological world. In the world of unmanned air vehicles, one team…
As the semiconductors that power the chips and lasers responsible for computing information shrink down to the nano-scale, they produce higher levels of electrical resistance and capacitance that ultimately slow performance. In recent years a research team, led by University…
The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) has presented its 2010 Maurice Wilkes Award to Professor Andreas Moshovos (ECE) for his contributions to the development of memory-dependence prediction. This technique, used by high-performance microprocessors that execute memory-access operations, provides many…
