WELCOME TO THE LABORATORY OF CARDIOVASCULAR FLUID DYNAMICS
Applying to the Lab? Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) are core values in our Lab. If you a member of under-represented groups in engineering, you are welcome in our Lab. If you have a ‘non-standard’ academic pathway, you are are also welcome in our Lab, just submit a 1-page document highlighting any special circumstances that might have negatively impacted their academic/research performance
New to the Lab? Before joining our Lab it is mandatory to go through the following training modules: [EDI modules: 1) Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion; 2) Unconscious bias and 3) Gendered innovations]; [Safety modules: WHMIS for laboratory personnel and Laser safety training]; [Safeguarding research: General information on research security]; [Literature review modules: Smart ways to quickly find the best academic literature and Google scholar 1 & 2]; [Programming modules: Matlab; Labview and Python]; [CADing modules: Solidworks].
