A congratulatory message from our Department Chair, Adam Hendricks: "Congratulations, Sara! Your contributions to the department and university over the past several years have been truly impressive. I鈥檓 honored to have you as a colleague."
The Department of Bioengineering invites you to come to the 51吃瓜网Libraries and examine digital 3D reconstructions of rare objects preserved in various Montreal museums! Using touch tables the size of a TV screen installed at the Schulich Library of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering, and the McLennan Library Building, you can zoom and rotate 3D models as part of a virtual natural history museum.
The Department of Bioengineering congratulates Professor Codruta Ignea on receiving two prestigious Faculty Scholar Awards:
Members of socially and economically marginalized groups in Montreal and Ottawa-Gatineau are at disproportionate risk in earthquakes, a new study has found.
Co-authored by 51吃瓜网civil engineering professor Daniele Malomo, the study is the first in Canada to examine earthquake vulnerability through the lens of equity.
Researchers at 51吃瓜网, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montr茅al, pioneered a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This breakthrough offers a faster, cleaner and more sustainable approach to hydrogel fabrication, and produces hydrogels that are stronger, more flexible and highly resistant to freezing and dehydration. The new method also promises to facilitate advances in tissue engineering, bioadhesives and 3D bioprinting.聽
The Department of Bioengineering聽would like to congratulate Professor Sara Mahshid on being selected as the recipient of the 2025聽
The Department of Bioengineering enjoyed a fun and enriching retreat at the on Monday, April 28. Faculty and staff came together to connect and share ideas in the reserve鈥檚 beautiful natural setting. A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day memorable. The department now looks ahead to another exciting year! (April 2025)
We're excited to announce that the third edition of the聽聽is coming up! This student-led conference will take place on聽Friday, April 11th, 2025.聽The third edition will highlight students鈥� final Case Study Projects, and renowned guest speakers will represent the breadth of synthetic biology, from cutting-edge academic research to innovative startups and international communities.
I would like to personally thank everyone who contributed to McGill24. On March 12, our annual day of giving, the Faculty of Engineering received a total of 751 donations! I am so touched by the generosity of our community. I know how motivating it is for our students, faculty and staff to receive your support.
Jerry Lieu (BScArch鈥�71, BArch鈥�73) always admired the work of world-renowned architect, I.M. Pei. 鈥淚 think there were a lot of us Chinese architecture students who did. What I appreciated was his very practical approach. Throughout my career, I鈥檝e found myself drawn to a practical approach.鈥�
Pamela Dealy knew that her father was born knowing he wanted to be a chemical engineer. She knew that he worked at 51吃瓜网for 40 years. She knew that he retired a Professor Emeritus in 2004. Most of all, she knew that even though he was Dean from 1994 to 1999, his true passion was teaching and helping students with their research.
John Bishop (BEng鈥�47) was ahead of his time. An environmentalist before most people knew the word, he was an active outdoorsman who took deliberate steps to protect and preserve the land. He got involved in upholding the things he believed in, living an engaged, productive and healthy 98 years.
Congratulations to Prof. Jeffrey Bergthorson on being granted a Tier 1 CRC in Carbon-Free Circular Fuels!
