Game time is family time for a surprising number of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University’s varsity athletes this year.

Across the rosters, from hockey to soccer to rugby and more, there are nine sets of siblings competing on the same team. The Ravens football team alone has three pairs of brothers in the lineup.

Already taking on the unique identity of a student-athlete, these Ravens also have sibling dynamics at play — sharing the highs and challenges of university sport with teammates they’ve known their whole lives.

Accessibility has always been important to ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University, so it’s no surprise that it has opened the Abilities Living Laboratory (ALL) to bring together some of Canada’s top minds from science, engineering, design, health, social sciences and the humanities to co-create innovative community systems that enable a fully inclusive and accessible Canada.

In a brand-new lab at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University, biomedical engineering PhD student Hossein Sadat Hosseini attaches several loonie-sized wireless sensors to the arms and legs of a patient who is recovering from a stroke.

A three-foot-tall rehabilitation robot made by ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ spin-off company  rolls toward the patient, encircles his waist with a cushioned belt and mirrors his movements as he slowly stands, turns and begins to walk.

In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), every second counts. For babies fighting for their lives, traditional wired sensors play a crucial role in monitoring vital signs like blood oxygen levels and heart rate. However, these sensors come with limitations, from causing false alarms and disturbing fragile infant skin to impeding parental bonding.

In Canada, about 13.7 per cent of individuals aged 15 and over report having mobility disabilities, requiring the use of assistive devices such as canes and wheelchairs to walk or climb stairs. Despite their widespread use, these traditional tools have limitations as they can cause physical strain, restrict terrain navigation, and pose daily accessibility challenges.

On March 28, 2024, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University held its annual , with a first round held in the morning, followed by an afternoon in which 10 finalists competed for the top prizes.

This year, Biomedical Engineering PhD student Nadia Abzan won the People’s Choice Award for her presentation, Breath of Life, with Environmental Engineering master’s student Lydia Hoffmann and Biomedical Engineering master’s student Tünde Lapohos also being named as competition finalists.

Initially developed by The University of Queensland, Australia, the Three Minute Thesis (or 3MT) is an academic competition that challenges graduate students to communicate the key concepts of their research in a compelling presentation of three minutes or less. ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´’s 3MT competition first began in 2013.

3MT People’s Choice Award Winner – Nadia Abzan (Breath of Life)

3MT Finalist – Lydia Hoffmann (Coming Together)

3MT Finalist – Tünde Lapohos (Development of a 3D ‘Lung-on-a-Chip’ Model to Understand ECM Asthma Remodelling)
