It’s been a busy couple weeks for McMaster experts.
Last week, McMaster’s campus served as the studio for a four-hour CHCH morning live broadcast, featuring a live interview with Leyla Soleymani, Engineering Innovation Lead at McMaster’s NexusHealth initiative.
This week, Ravi Selvaganapathy’s work on artificial lungs for babies born prematurely and Zeinab Hosseinidoust’s work on a new treatment for irritable bowel disease were both featured in The Hamilton Spectator, while Mike Welland joined CBC’s The Current to talk about the use of artificial intelligence in university education.
