Rehabilitation, Mobility, Digital Health, and Health Technologies
As part of globally recognized programs in Engineering and Entrepreneurship at the University of New Brunswick, I am surrounded by world class talent. Together, we contribute to science, industry and the local economy through excellence in fundamental and applied research, teaching, and training of future leaders and entrepreneurs.
Nestled in the small New Brunswick capital city of Fredericton, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Dr. J. Herbert Smith Centre for Technology Management and Entrepreneurship have repeatedly demonstrated international success. In my role, I leverage the collaboration between these respected partners to help grow the digital health, rehabilitation, health technologies, and security industries in the region.
