STUDENT SUPPORT Made possible by the generous donation from varies benefactors as well as the Trottier Family Foundation and with support from the Faculty of Engineering, TISED provides student funding opportunities in the form of Faculty Scholar Awards, Graduate Fellowships (MEDA), Undergraduate Research Internships (SURE) and other education enhancement initiatives.
Faculty Scholar Awards The Faculty Scholar Awards support research in sustainability in part by funding the Scholar’s doctoral students.
Panda Faculty Scholar Award in Sustainability in Engineering and Design On January 1, 2021, Prof. Jefferey Bergthorson was reappointed for a three-year term as the Panda Faculty Scholar, and TISED Associate Director. Prof. Bergthorson’s research focuses on improving our fundamental understanding of the combustion and emissions properties of a variety of alternative zerocarbon and low-carbon fuels, including hydrogen, ammonia, and using metals as carbon-free recyclable fuels. Faculty Scholar: Prof. Jefferey Bergthorson, Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student: Kartik Mangelvedhe, PhD Candidate Research Area: fundamentals of nitrogen oxide pollutant formation in metal flames; a key question on the emissions that might arise from metal power systems
