Dr. Derek O’Flaherty spoke to us about his research into novel nucleic acid-based technology.

Dr. Rafael Santos, associate professor in the School of Engineering, has been awarded a $55,000 research grant for the second time from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This year’s grant will fund his project titled, "Triple-intensified process for direct carbon-negative methanol synthesis from biogas". The Sloan Foundation is dedicated to supporting novel research and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and economics.

On Friday, January 27, the University of Guelph cut the ribbon on a new state-of-the-art research and teaching space for the MCTI graduate program. Industry demand for professionals in this field has never been higher. Global cyber-attacks are hitting companies, institutions, and government every day.

For the first time in roughly 50,000 years...

In Essex County, Ont., the nighttime sky glows orange and greenhouses dominate the landscape. It’s the result of the rapidly growing greenhouse industry in Ontario, one that took up almost 1,800 hectares of land and paid close to $194 million for energy in 2021, according to Statistics Canada.

But in Essex County, a hotspot for greenhouse-grown fruits, vegetables and flowers, energy is still in short supply.

Dr. Slater Discusses his journey to join CEPS and his research on developing novel data science and statistical methods in epidemiology.

Congratulations to Zarin Tasnim Ahmed on being awarded the International Atomic Energy Agency Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP).
