Congratulations to Tanaka Akiyama, a 4th year undergraduate student in Computer Engineering for being awarded the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF) Undergraduate Ambassador award. The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF) Undergraduate Ambassador award aims to attract women to the engineering profession by offering a scholarship to young women who demonstrate exceptional leadership and are volunteers in their communities. In doing so, the scholarship honours the memory of the 14 women from l鈥櫭塩ole Polytechnique, whose contributions to Canada ended on December 6, 1989. To support the organization, Tanaka will be giving two presentations to high school level audiences about why she chose to become an engineer, the social responsibility of engineers, and how to become an engineer.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is very pleased to announce that Dr. Ghada Koleilat has recently joined the Department.

Ghada I. Koleilat received her BASc (2006) in Electrical Engineering from Concordia University, her MASc (2008) and her PhD (2012) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto. During her graduate studies, she developed the world's first functional colloidal quantum dot tandem solar cell employing a single quantum tuned material. She also conceived a material processing that enabled prolonged stability and improved electrical properties in photovoltaic junctions based on colloidal quantum dots. That process is now patented and licensed to InVisage, Inc.

Before joining 国民彩票 in August 2016, Koleilat did her postdoctoral training at Stanford University where she investigated the properties of single walled carbon nanotubes and their potential in photovoltaics.

Her work has frequently been highlighted in major media outlets like Nanotechweb, Materials today, National Post, MIT鈥檚 Technology Review and Engadget, to name a few. Her first publication (ACS Nano 2008) was one of the 10 highest cited articles in the journal for 4 years.

She has received several presitigious highly competitive awards for her research work, most notably the Banting PDF (2012). She was ranked 3rd among all the engineering and natural science applicants (PDF NSERC applicants).
