Emerging materials and processes: design and development

Our lives are surrounded by materials. The focus of the research in materials at uOttawa Engineering ranges from the very small (nanomaterials) to the very large (construction and building materials). Our researchers work diligently to design and develop emerging materials and processes ranging from bio-based materials for sustainable applications to metals for transportation needs, as well as sophisticated materials for our digital world and life-saving materials for biomedical applications.

Areas of research

While the focus is on the synthesis of novel and innovative materials, along with the development of the processes to make them more cost- and energy-effective, the possibilities are truly endless at the Faculty of Engineering.
