Our people – Faculty of Engineering

Our people

The CEDT operates as a collective of shared resources. The people that keep the Centre running include faculty from a number of universities, their students and research associates, full-time CEDT technical staff, as well as industrial collaborators.

How our team works

As an organization, the CEDT amounts to a collective of people and pooled resources. 

Faculty from various departments who have an interest in the resources operated by the CEDT pay on a fee for service basis to use CEDT equipment facilities. As members associated with the CEDT, the faculty and their students are granted access to the CEDT’s analytical equipment, and pay special rates for the use of processing and growth facilities. 

Staff

Two full-time staff operate and maintain equipment for material growth, analysis, and processing, located in four laboratory facilities.

Faculty

Our centre welcomes faculty members from other universities and companies to associate with our centre for research projects.

The CEDT has experienced a rapid growth in its major university users over the past four years, from 29 – 59. The growth has largely been due to the seven newly hired faculty members. The presence of the CEDT was a strong incentive in the hiring of these new faculty since their research programs rely heavily on the materials growth, device processing and characterizations facilities in the CEDT, which would be difficult to replicate in another Canadian University.
