Current InitiativesDeveloping Green TechnologiesA $1.4-million grant will help fund a new clean diesel research project and will cement the University of Windsor's growing reputation as a leading centre for the development of green technologies. A recipient of funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, Researcher Ming Zheng said the research will "help develop new technologies, give the diesel engine new life and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels." The funding will help the centre improve diesel fuel efficiency with ultralow emissions using adaptive combustion control. It will also enable Zheng and his team to research after-treatment methods, innovative engine design and diesel-based hybrid electric drive-train configurations. Institute of Diagnostic Imaging ResearchHeaded by the University of Windsor's world-renowned Dr. Roman Maev, the Institute develops cutting-edge acoustical imaging technologies that use sound waves in non-destructive testing systems for automotive, aircraft, energy and agriculture applications. In partnership with the WEEDC, the University of Windsor and the City of Windsor the Institute has been supported in establishing a new permanent facility which will initially house 25 to 30 researchers. Renewable EnergyThe WEEDC is supporting a pilot project for an innovative power storage system for renewable energy re-generation. Software DevelopmentThe WEEDC is currently assisting in the re-location of a company's R&D division which will focus on software development. WINnovation Software CreationsThe University of Windsor and WEEDC have developed WINnovation, an initiative to encourage local start-up companies and entrepreneurs to develop and commercialize new products by offering them technical support and mentorship. |
