We're advancing knowledge and solutions in power and energy-control systems, radio systems, telecommunications and wireless technologies, biomedical engineering, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
State-of-the-art facilities support our research. Our labs facilitate specialized research in energy systems, biomedical engineering, radio systems, software engineering, and micro- and nano-systems.
Our faculty members recognize the power of collaboration. Get an at-a-glance look at Schulich's expansive body of research. Explore our main research themes and the amazing projects that support them.
Dr. Elise Fear, PhD, is investigating the applications of microwave medical imaging to detect breast anomalies, identify dehydration in athletes and monitor heart health. This work will lead to more flexible imaging systems that cost less, provide new information and don’t expose tissue to radiation.
Dr. Guenther Ruhe, PhD, and Dr. Maleknaz Nayebi, PhD, developed MAPFEAT (mining app features from tweets). They measured 70,000+ tweets during the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, discovering that only six out of the 40 top needs for information were met. This knowledge will improve emergency apps of the future.
Dr. Andy Knight, PhD, sees a future where renewable energy systems integrate seamlessly into the grid. He’s working on reliable, stable systems using variable energy sources such as wind and solar power. He’s also researching more efficient electrical energy conversion for electric and hybrid vehicles.
