U of T Engineering researchers have partnered with Siemens Energy to tackle a key challenge in the energy sector: sustainable energy conversion for propulsion and power generation – such as developing gas turbine engines that can run on sustainable energy sources like hydrogen. Led by Professor Swetaprovo Chaudhuri (UTIAS), the […]
For aviation, the path to reduced climate change impact and eventually net-zero carbon dioxide emissions is clear. We must replace fossil fuels with net-zero energy sources, and improve aircraft energy efficiency. The latter is essential given that future energy sources under consideration—such as sustainable aviation fuel and liquid hydrogen—introduce substantial […]
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 Solanki (UTIAS MEng 2T3) and Siva Subramaniam (UTIAS MEng 2T2) at The Entrepreneurship Hatchery, […]
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 ranging from predicting the performance of aircraft engines to forecasting […]
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 T’s self-driving car team, has put in a consistently strong […]
Join us in celebrating Sean Wolfe, an exceptional PhD candidate in the Aerospace Mechatronics Research Group at U of T. His remarkable achievement of winning the prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship underscores his dedication to shaping the future of aerospace. Professor Reza Emami, Wolfe’s accomplished supervisor, highlights Sean’s pioneering potential, […]
For Alexandre Florio (UTIAS MASc candidate), one of the most thrilling aspects of spacecraft design is that the team only has one chance to get the mission right. “If your car breaks down on a road, you can go to an auto repair shop,” he says. “But if your satellite breaks down […]
In June, the first-ever University of Toronto Robotics Institute end-of-year celebration brought together faculty, students, staff, partners and friends from across the University of Toronto’s St. George and University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campuses to mark a year of progress, leadership and research excellence. Professor Jessica Burgner-Kahrs, Associate Director of the […]
When Ben Agro arrived at the University of Toronto after high school, he didn’t know what to expect from his courses in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering. “I worked really hard that first year, but not in a way that was efficient or followed a particular technique,” he says. “But […]
Having enriched the U of T Engineering community as undergraduate and graduate students, they will join our vibrant, global network of Skule™ alumni, where they will continue to address pressing challenges around the world and inspire the next generation. This year’s 15 Grads to Watch — selected by their home […]
