It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Prof. Emeritus A.R. (Roy) Boothroyd, the founding Chair of the Department of Electronics. Under his guidance the Department came to be internationally recognized for excellence in research and teaching in microelectronics and solid state device technology. Prof. Boothroyd strongly believed that the work of the Department should be relevant to the needs of the community it served.

Research conducted at the Carleton Optical Innovation Laboratory (COIL) by PhD student Sondos Alqarni has been selected as an editor’s pick in the recent issue of Applied Optics.  Sondos developed a novel optical fiber device that could be used to destroy cancer cells through a process called hyperthermia.  Hyperthermia involves heating cancer cells to temperatures greater than 40

Electrical and Computer Engineering Master's student Kevan MacKay is researching silicon photonics which involves using silicon chips to transmit and process light.

Dr. Pavel Cheben has been elected to The Royal Society of Canada, please read more below.
