Ten University of Windsor researchers are turning their work into ventures as members of the inaugural Innovation Fellowship cohort. 

The fellows aim to bring research-based business ideas to market, from a cybersecurity training program to a low-cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device.

A future where vehicles communicate directly with one another is not so distant — but is the technology safe enough to deploy?  

That question was at the centre of the inaugural OmniAir Hackathon held at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where three University of Windsor graduate students earned first place for their research.

His mother may not fully grasp what he does for a living, but theoretical condensed matter physicist Dr. Jeffrey G. Rau (BSc ‘08) is in global demand for his expertise in quantum magnetism.

The University of Windsor researcher does not run experiments in a lab. Instead, he builds mathematical and computational models to understand and predict how magnetic materials behave at the atomic level.

Drug-resistant infections are silently spreading through water, soil, food systems and healthcare settings — often undetected until they become a public health emergency. 

At the University of Windsor, environmental microbiologist Dr. Opeyemi Lawal is developing new ways to spot these threats early, understand why they persist, and stop them before they spread.
