Her research is focused on the use of modelling and real-time imaging to design new materials for high efficiency and performance.</p> <p>Betz,&nbsp;a professor with the Edward S. Rogers Sr. department of electrical and computer engineering, holds the NSERC/Intel Industrial Research Chair in Programmable Silicon. His work has revolutionized the use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), to allow engineers to rapidly create new hardware systems and realize their design visions.</p> <p>Vecchio, a professor emeritus with the department of civil and mineral engineering, is the former Bahen/Tanenbaum Chair in Civil Engineering. An internationally respected authority on the behaviour of concrete structures, he has contributed substantially to increasing the safety and reliability of Canada鈥檚 infrastructure. Vecchio is the co-developer of the Modified Compression Field Theory, a groundbreaking conceptual model for describing the behaviour of reinforced concrete under general load conditions, which has been incorporated into design codes in Canada and internationally.</p> <h3><a href="https://news.engineering.utoronto.ca/three-professors-elected-fellows-of-the-engineering-institute-of-canada/">Read the Faculty of Applied Science &amp; Engineering story</a></h3> <h3>TAGS</h3> <p><a datatype href="/celebrates/search?field_awards_people%5B1%5D=1" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" typeof="skos:Concept">Faculty</a></p> <p><a datatype href="/celebrates/search?field_awards_campus%5B2%5D=2" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" typeof="skos:Concept">St. George</a></p> <p><a datatype href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-applied-science-engineering" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" typeof="skos:Concept">Faculty of Applied Science &amp; Engineering</a><a datatype href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-mechanical-industrial-engineering" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" typeof="skos:Concept">Department of Mechanical &amp; Industrial Engineering</a><a datatype href="/celebrates/awards-tags/edward-s-rogers-sr-department-electrical-and-computer-engineering" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" typeof="skos:Concept">Edward S.
