Every year the Globe and Mail’s Canandian University Report names one professor from each Canadian university as a Hotshot Prof. This year, that honour for U of T goes to ChemE Professor Yu-Ling Cheng.
Professor Cheng recently led a research team (including students) from the Faculty of Applied Science & Enginereing to win a $2.2 million grant from the Gates Foundation to design a waterless toilet for use in developing countries. Professor Cheng is also the director of the Centre for Global Engineering.
