Dear Administrative and Technical Staff, With the start of the new academic year, this Fall our Department will be welcoming more than 900 undergraduate and graduate students, including nearly 250 new students, to start their in-person training and education. Following…
During the global COVID-19 pandemic, the sudden and overwhelming demand for protective masks exceeded the supply. As cases of COVID-19 have been rising again, wearing a mask continues to be one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk…
In his first-ever hackathon, Satya Sathwik Juttada (Year 2 ChemE) and his three teammates won first place out of 72 teams at the Global Challenge Lab 2022, hosted by Imperial College London. The virtual entrepreneurship program brings together students and recent university graduates from across…
A team of U of T Engineering researchers, led by Professor Molly Shoichet (ChemE, BME, Donnelly), has designed a new way to grow cells in a laboratory that enables them to better emulate cancerous tumours. The platform — based on a type…
Professor Jeff Brook has launched a new tool under the HealthyDesign.city initiative, which locates vulnerable populations exposed to environments that exacerbate heat waves in cities across Canada. The launch coincidently coincides with extreme heat conditions across Canada. This week, University of…
Kimberly Watada (ChemE 2T2 + PEY Co-op), the Chair of our student chapter of the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (CSChE), recently competed and placed third in the finale of the Climate Investment Challenge, a graduate-level competition hosted by Imperial…
Tailpipe emissions are often the focus of air quality studies, as they contribute to climate change and a myriad of heath problems, but are non-tailpipe emissions just as concerning? Researchers from the Southern Ontario Centre for Atmospheric Aerosol Research (SOCAAR)…
The final cohort of Mastercard Foundation Scholars graduated from the University of Toronto this spring – the culmination of their journey from Sub-Saharan Africa to Canada. Nearly a decade ago, U of T was among the first Canadian universities to partner…
U of T Engineering researchers have grown a small-scale model of a human left heart ventricle in the lab. The bioartificial tissue construct is made with living heart cells and beats strongly enough to pump fluid inside a bioreactor. In…
Rare earths are a critical resource that are used in a wide range of applications like computers, electric car batteries, windmill turbines, and other green-energy technologies. In spite of the name, they’re not actually that rare. However, they are found…
