From infrastructure systems to biodiversity, several new Concordia researchers are using their distinct expertise to shed light on cities-related issues.
Joining Ursula Eicker, Concordia's newly appointed Canada Excellence Research Chair in Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Communities and Cities, five tenure-track cities cluster hires will further consolidate the university's leadership in the rapidly changing field of municipal matters.
"Developing seamless integrated approaches to research while leveraging technology, design and planning is one of the great challenges of the 21st century," says Graham Carr, provost and vice-president, Academic.
"As part of our Strategic Directions Game Plan, we are pleased to welcome Jing Hu, Alice Jarry, Chunyan Lai, Mohamed Ouf and Carly Ziter five extremely collaborative individuals whose research and creative activities will help meet the economic, social and environmental demands of present and future generations."
