Three U of T Engineering professors have been recognized by the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) for their distinguished contributions to engineering.
Professor Michael Carter (MIE) has received the Julian C. Smith Medal for “achievement in the development of Canada,” while Professors Natalie Enright Jerger (ECE) and Xinyu Liu (MIE) have been elected EIC fellows for “excellence in engineering and services to the profession and to society.”
Carter, who is the founder of U of T’s Centre for Healthcare Engineering, is a recognized leader in systems engineering approaches to health care, influencing health policy and practice across Canada through his leadership positions, educational initiatives and work with health-care organizations. He is using simulation modelling and other operations research tools to help the health-care industry make decisions that improve quality of care, reduce costs and increase efficiency. He has helped demonstrate the important role of engineering in Canada’s health-care system, and the tools he has created are used by government and health-care organizations throughout the country.
