Student Research Awards
We are thrilled to congratulate the exceptional students who have been selected for the highly prestigious Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) and Concordia Undergraduate Student Research Awards (CUSRA) and have also received the generous Concordia Institute of Aerospace Design and Innovation (CIADI) top-up of $2500. These students have demonstrated outstanding talent and dedication in their research pursuits.
We extend our warmest congratulations to these remarkable students for their achievements and send our heartfelt appreciation to the professors and mentors who have supported and guided them along their research journey.
Well done, students, and thank you, professors, for your continued support!
