Bob & Nancy Burnside: It’s a family affair with the U of G

Applying small changes to current theories could have a big impact.

When it comes to testing the limits of what we know about the nature of the universe, nothing quite compares to black holes. These objects have extremely large masses packed into a very tiny space, exerting a gravitational pull so strong that space and time are warped around them and not even light can escape their grasp.

Greenhouses offer a 365 day a year growing cycle, increasing our food security and access to fresh produce year-round. Growing efforts by the industry are resulting in more sustainable production practices, including reducing energy and water use, and finding alternatives to plastic packaging.

Four U of G-led projects have received a total of $997,000 from the federal New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), which supports interdisciplinary projects and encourages inventive approaches to research.

Not alone, but... Math can do some cool things to help us. So many of us struggle with math and fail to see the beauty of patterns, and the power of big data. While the wicked problems of today cannot be solved by math alone, it plays a critical role in a multi-disciplinary approach to finding the solutions we need.

School of Engineering associate professor, Dr. Manick Annamalai has secured a $540,000 Alliance grant from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

U of G students excel in creating novel food engineering solutions.

On April 10, 2023, the inaugural Guelph Food Engineering Conference was held in Adams Atrium at the School of Engineering. Led by Dr. Manick Annamalai, the day represented the significant growth of interest and research into Food Engineering.

The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences is proud to introduce 4 new writers for our Science Communicators program.

On Thursday, April 6th, engineering students gathered in the Thornbrough building for the School of Engineering’s biggest annual event: Engineering Design Day. This year, family, friends, faculty, staff, alumni, and industry professionals got to see the accomplishments of the U of G’s engineering students from all 7 disciplines. The School of Engineering is proud to have made design the foundation of their studies, allowing U of G Engineers to create and design solutions that Improve Life.
