茄子直播 researchers awarded $5 million in NSERC Strategic Partnership Grants

Ten University of Toronto researchers have been awarded Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Strategic Partnership Grants.

The grants were announced March 1 by Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan. Strategic Partnerships connect universities, businesses and government organizations in research collaborations. This round of grants focused on four areas: environmental science and technologies; information and communications technologies; manufacturing; and natural resources and energy, Duncan said.

The grants to the 茄子直播 researchers 鈥 the largest number awarded to any Canadian university 鈥 totalled almost $5 million. Six of the recipients were from the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, two from the Faculty of Arts & Science, and one each from the Faculty of Information and from University of Toronto Mississauga.

  • Mansoor Barati (Materials Science & Engineering), pyrometallurgical treatment of nickeliferous pyrrhotite tailings for the recovery of nickel, iron and sulphur, $392,187
  • Aimy Bazylak (Mechanical & Industrial Engineering), designing new materials for electrolyzing clean fuel, $585,300
  • Sean Hum (Electrical & Computer Engineering), advanced electromagnetic surfaces for next-generation communications systems, $538,400
  • Ulrich Krull (University of Toronto Mississauga), droplet microfluidic system for production of high value coatings on luminescent nanoparticles, $501,068
  • Eugenia Kumacheva (Chemistry), advanced composite materials derived from cellulose nanocrystals, $444,000
  • Kelly Lyons (Faculty of Information), data-driven knowledge mobilization, translation and innovation, $747,000
  • Elodie Passeport (Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering), beyond the black box: developing a novel bioretention infiltration treatment system for sustainable urban stormwater management, $419,175
  • Edward Sargent (Electrical & Computer Engineering), a monolithically integrated infrared quantum dot laser for silicon photonics, $487,433
  • Costas Sarris (Electrical & Computer Engineering, integrating physics-based and network protocol design for safety-critical communication systems, $377,716
  • Dwight Seferos (Chemistry), tellurium-based reagents and materials, $450,000

鈥淥n behalf of the Government of Canada, I would like to congratulate all of today's recipients,鈥 said Duncan, a 茄子直播 graduate who has taught at the University of Toronto Scarborough and at Royal Roads University. 鈥淭his support represents a big investment in connecting our country's talented scientists and engineers with industry.鈥

鈥淲e are delighted that 茄子直播 researchers have done so well in this round of the SPG program,鈥 said Vivek Goel, 茄子直播鈥檚 vice-president (research and innovation). 鈥淭hank you to the Government of Canada, NSERC and our partners on these projects for helping our researchers conduct work that will make a tangible impact here in Canada and globally.鈥
