Mechanical engineer Zuomin Dong and UVic’s Clean Transportation Research Team are working to cut down on the environmental impacts of marine vessels in our oceans.
Zuomin Dong and his research team have studied and built advanced hybrid vehicles for a decade, winning dozens of awards. The team is now working on hybrid electric propulsion
systems for ships, heavy-duty mining trucks and trains.
Entrepreneur and mechanical engineer Devesh Bharadwaj was still a UVic undergrad when he founded Pani Energy Inc. in March 2017 with a vision of providing clean water and energy to
the world through affordable technologies that reduce emissions and costs.
Off-the-grid coastal communities seeking renewable energy alternatives and heavy-duty transportation companies working to reduce fossil fuel dependence are closer to achieving
their goals thanks to $2.4 million in new funding to UVic researchers.
The UVic AERO Team—40 mechanical, electrical, and computer and software engineering undergrads who design, build and fly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones—came away from
this year’s national student unmanned aerial systems competition with a third place win in the operational phase category.
