The applied sciences – architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, nursing, and planning – change society's conception of what is possible as a matter of course. Applied scientists make dreams real, turn ideas into practice. We embody the interface between present and future.
The Faculty of Applied Science comprises a unique constellation of professional disciplines including; Architecture & Landscape Architecture, Engineering, Nursing and Community & Regional Planning. The core purpose shared across all of our four disciplines is to discover, create and apply knowledge, provide unwavering top-tier education and champion a community of responsible professionals devoted to serving a thriving, sustainable and healthy society. Our work and the professions which our graduates represent span the entire human-centred built environment.
The disciplines within the Faculty of Applied Science are celebrated for the scope, strength and impact of their research activities. Our Faculty claims the spotlight in the global arena for our research in clean energy, communication and digital technologies, health and health technology among many others. We offer disciplinary-specific research based graduate programs as well as a range of professional graduate programs and pride ourselves on our ability to open doors of opportunity to students beyond their time within our Faculty.

Doctoral Citations
A doctoral citation summarizes the nature of the independent research, provides a high-level overview of the study, states the significance of the work and says who will benefit from the findings in clear, non-specialized language, so that members of a lay audience will understand it.
| Year | Citation | Program |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Dr. Ramsay explored concussions among children and youth in British Columbia. He found that most children and youth with a concussion do not receive follow-up and those with a delayed follow-up visit were more likely to experience poor health. This research provides new evidence to support the importance of timely follow-up after a concussion. | Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Heydari conducted research on how groups of stem cells behave together. He showed that we can use mathematics to understand and predict their behavior. This newfound knowledge can be used to develop better methods for creating tissues and organs in stem cell research. | Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Rippon studied operating data from pyrometallurgy and kraft pulping processes to address troublesome process faults. By combining process knowledge and historical data with novel applications of machine learning and data visualization, his research contributes to improving operating outcomes of industrial processes. | Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Torkaman studied eco-conscious gold extraction for artisanal mining, aiming for cleaner, more efficient methods and a mercury-free future. Her work offers site-specific, cost-effective alternatives that can reshape the industry, benefit miners, and safeguard the environment. | Doctor of Philosophy in Mining Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Chegounian studied the biological treatment of oil sands process-affected water from Alberta, Canada. She developed an innovative biological treatment technology that can help oil industries and regulators develop and evaluate a more sustainable approach to treating tailings ponds and safely releasing the water back to the environment. | Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Zhou examined the lithium deposition behavior and lithium corrosion behavior in lithium metal battery. She also applied her conclusion to the modification of liquid electrolytes. Her research promotes the development of lithium metal batteries and energy storage systems. | Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Shojaei innovated a camera-based system for the automated detection of indoor fall incidents. Her design balances privacy, accuracy, and real-time performance and accommodates diverse home configurations. Dr. Shojaei's research contributes to home wellness and aging in place by facilitating prompt assistance for fall incidents. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Suhane integrated atomistic and mesoscale simulations and investigated the effect of alloying on microstructural processes in steels. His work provides new avenues for designing high-performance steels for infrastructure and automotive applications. | Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Asem studied security vulnerabilities within blockchain programs known as smart contracts. He subsequently developed novel methods to analyze the program code for security vulnerabilities with application to smart contracts. Dr. Asem's research thereby contributes to improving smart contract security and the broader blockchain ecosystem. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2023 | Dr. Jain studied Geopolymers, environment-friendly alternatives to Portland Cement, for cesium nuclear waste immobilization. Dr. Jain demonstrated enhanced cesium immobilization within the Geopolymers processed via one-step chemical synthesis route. Safer long-term nuclear waste storage will be possible because of Dr. Jain's work. | Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Engineering (PhD) |
