One cross-disciplinary lab in the Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship is proving to be an exciting place to run applications for real-world problems. Applications of such research can help inspect infrastructure or crop health, track moving objects for security, and deliver lightweight packages. The focus for Professor Steven […]
A team of researchers at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) is celebrating 25 years of designing advanced micro- and nanosatellites for a broad range of missions — from scientific to commercial and government applications. “Our laboratory engages in experimental technology research tied to real space missions,” […]
The importance of investment in green technologies is widely recognized, as is the importance of reducing the impact of civil aviation on climate change, but recently these two ideas have not been connected in Canada. The federally supported Green Aviation Research and Development Network (GARDN), which was funded from 2009-2021, has not yet […]
