Joel Jean-Philyppe

I have been working with the Alternative Fuels Laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Â鶹AV since September 2020. My undergraduate research and PhD thesis focus on the development of combustion technologies to enable iron as a clean, zero-carbon, sustainable fuel, as a replacement to hydrocarbon fuels. By alleviating my financial burden, the Vadasz scholarship enables me to focus on creating a lasting impact in the field of clean technology.

William Ma

My research at Â鶹AV involves the application of machine learning in bioinformatics. Being a Vadasz Scholar for 4 years means that I will spend more time focusing on that research and less time worrying about securing funding during my studies.

Wilfred Mason

I am pursuing a PhD in the MACRObotics lab, a multidisciplinary research group exploring the design and control of robotic systems. My research explores new approaches for giving robots a sense of touch through the design of compliant tactile sensors. I am honored to be a Vadasz Scholar, and am excited to spend the next four years pursuing impact-driven research with like-minded peers at Â鶹AV.

Katrina Poulin

I am pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering. My research is focused on Electronic Design Automation for integrated circuits and systems, which are key components of the technology we use every day. My work focuses on making circuit simulation tools more efficient and accurate to sustain the fast-growing microchip industry. I feel incredibly honoured to be a Vadasz Scholar, as it allows me to continue exploring this important area and contribute to the future of technology.
