Sustainable and resilient infrastructure has been one of the Faculty of Engineering’s core areas of research for several years. Many of our researchers work in collaboration with industry and organizations to address the challenges posed by the climate crisis. As engineers, we have the safety of society at heart, and we know climate change is an issue we simply cannot ignore.

uOttawa researchers Ghassan Jabbour and Ned Booker used AI to find a narrow set of chemicals that can disarm the spike proteins of the COVID-19 virus. When bound to a select class of nanoparticles, these chemicals can be coated or printed onto any surface or material under the sun.

As 2020 was coming to an end, Professor Melike Erol-Kantarci received consecutively three distinctions for her research work in wireless networks and communications. We got a glimpse into the future of technology as we sat down with her to discuss her recent accomplishments, the origin of her passion for computer engineering, and the state of research in wireless networks.
