Ambrish Kumar (MSE MEng candidate) didn’t expect to win when he made his pitch for net-zero hydrogen production at the Falling Walls Lab Toronto this past August — but he did just that. “I was working on Nanodes, the startup I co-founded with Rutvik […]
Researchers at the University of Toronto Institute of Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) have made a significant step towards enabling reliable predictions of complex dynamical systems when there are many uncertainties in the available data or missing information. This work could have numerous applications […]
How does a group of U of T Engineering students build an autonomous vehicle that bests its competition year after year? For the aUToronto team, the secret to success is an inclusive and supportive environment. Since 2018, aUToronto, U of […]
