Students

Our research team supports our undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students in transforming their knowledge, experience, innovative ideas and creative vision into action through real-world research opportunities that make a difference in the Durham Region, Northumberland, and beyond.

As a student researcher, you will have access to extensive resources including state-of-the-art facilities, faculty experts, modern technology and industry professionals who have a vested interest in your learning and success. 

The opportunity to work alongside expert faculty and business leaders who share your interests provides an invaluable experience that will help take your research to new heights. These relationships also provide an excellent avenue to launch your career even before graduation.

You will have opportunities to:

• Co-author and publish research papers.
• Network with the university research community.
• Participate in scholarly conferences.
• Apply for internal/external student funding to support research endeavours.
• Participate in research with an Ontario Tech Project Supervisor through our Undergraduate Research Awards program.
• Work with the Intellectual Property Officer to commercialize your intellectual property.

We integrate research with innovation, entrepreneurship, education and professional collaboration to create a synthesized approach to academics and inspire the generation of today to be the leaders of tomorrow.
