SUNLAB students awarded scholarships

Congratulations to SUNLAB students Mandy Lewis, Erin Tonita, Victoria Jancowski and Nicholas Pulido on receiving prestigious scholarships to support their research.

PhD electrical engineering candidate Mandy Lewis and PhD physics candidate Erin Tonita were each awarded an Ontario Graduate Scholarship. This merit-based scholarship is available to graduate students in all disciplines of academic study. The Ontario Graduate Scholarships program is jointly funded by the Province of Ontario and Ontario universities.

BASc electrical engineering candidate Victoria Jancowski is spending the summer at the SUNLAB performing research on spectroradiometric standards for bifacial photovoltaic solar power. She was awarded a CSA Group Undergraduate Research Scholarship for a second year in a row. This scholarship aims to support undergraduate students in the pursuit of novel research related to standards.

BASc electrical engineering candidate Nicholas Pulido was awarded an Undergraduate Student Research Award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. This scholarship is meant to nurture undergraduate students’ interest and fully develop their potential for a research career. This summer, Nicholas is studying the effects of artificial reflectors on bifacial photovoltaic systems using open-source view-factor models.
