Words from our students
Maryam Navi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Standford University
“The lab environment at iBEST is very conducive to interdisciplinary research. I could consult experts in areas where I lacked knowledge, and any equipment that I needed was readily available. It allowed my research to progress quickly and easily.”
Biomedical Engineering, PhD ’20
Dr. Payam Emadi
Forensic Mechanical and Materials Engineer, Origin And Cause
Canada’s largest forensic engineering and fire investigation firm
"My time at Toronto Metropolitan University was more than just an education—it was where my passion for mechanical engineering was nurtured, where lifelong connections were forged, and where professors took a genuine interest in my growth. From undergrad to PhD, the experiences I had there shaped me into the professional I am today, and for that, I will always be grateful."
