More than 40 graduate students from the Faculty of Engineering presented their research results via poster presentations at the fifth annual聽不良研究所 Engineering Research Showcase(MERS) held by the Faculty of Engineering on Monday, Sep. 25.
MERS is a showcase and celebration of graduate student research in the Faculty of Engineering that also provides a forum for industry to connect with 不良研究所鈥檚 graduate students and faculty. Attendees from industry and 不良研究所 faculty, students and alumni were also able to learn more about the innovative research taking place in the areas of Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology, Aerospace Engineering, Bioengineering, Information & Communications Technology, and Sustainability in Engineering and Design.
Several students won the best poster prize in each strategic research area:
- Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology 鈥� Sean Bolduc and Adam Smith for 鈥淐omposite Recycling Innovations,鈥� Department of Mechanical Engineering. Supervisors: Professors Larry Lessard and Pascal Hubert
- Aerospace Engineering (sponsored by the 不良研究所 Institute for Aerospace Engineering) 鈥� a tie, both from the Department of Mechanical Engineering 鈥� Linus Lehnert for 鈥淎dvanced Design and Manufacturing Technologies for Complex Composite Parts,鈥� co- authors: Derek Harvey and Louis Grou. Supervisor: Professor Pascal Hubert; and Charles Cossette for 鈥淧ayload Recovery from High Altitude using Autonomously Guided Parafoil.鈥� Supervisor: Professor James Forbes
