Industrial Applied Research Chair in Interoperability Sensor Systems for IIoT Applications

工业物联网（IIoT）正在迅速重塑我们的世界。在最近的一项研究中，爱立信估计物联网连接设备的总数将以超过20%的复合年增长率增长，到2023年全球将达到200多亿台设备。2014年，加拿大科学、技术和创新理事会建议，联邦研究的优先事项和重点领域应包括机器对机器系统、自动化和先进的数据管理。凭借其在能源，健康和增材制造方面的现有优势，与行业的深厚合作伙伴关系以及最近对新实验室设施的投资，莫霍克学院有能力支持IIoT应用互操作性传感器系统的专用IRCC主席。哈桑博士拥有10年的应用研究经验，特别是在无线传感器设备和智能嵌入式实时系统的设计、开发和实施方面。他曾在全球和加拿大工作，与许多学术和工业合作伙伴。在五年的椅子计划，他将带领一个团队的工作人员和学生，并与其他研究人员和公司合作，完成至少九个项目。这些项目涉及评估和开发新的传感器系统，以满足快速变化环境中的工业需求。IIoT行业的预期增长为Mohawk提供了支持业务创新的独特机会。随着来自行业的超过100万美元的额外支持，椅子计划将通过为学生提供增强的体验式学习机会和全球市场的产品开发机会而蓬勃发展。对加拿大的好处将包括HQP，提高竞争力和提高加拿大人的生活质量。

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is rapidly reshaping our world. In a recent study, Ericsson estimates that the total number of IoT-connected devices will grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 20%, reaching over 20 billion devices globally by 2023. In 2014 the government of Canada's Science, Technology, and Innovation Council recommended that federal research priorities and focus areas should include machine-to-machine systems, automation, and advanced data management. With its existing strengths in energy, health and additive manufacturing, its deep partnerships with industry, and the recent investment in new lab facilities, Mohawk College is strongly positioned to support a dedicated IRCC Chair in interoperability sensor systems for IIoT applications. Dr. Hassan has 10 years of applied research experience, specifically in the design, development, and implementation of wireless sensor devices and smart embedded real-time systems. He has worked globally and in Canada, with many academic and industrial partners. Over the five years of the chair program, he will lead a team of staff and students and collaborate with other researchers and companies to complete a minimum of nine projects. These projects involve the evaluation and development of new sensor systems that will meet the needs of industry in a rapidly changing environment. The anticipated growth of the IIoT sector has provided a unique opportunity for Mohawk to support business innovation. With added support of over $1M from Industry, the Chair program will thrive by providing students with enhanced opportunities for experiential learning and product development opportunities for the global market. Benefits to Canada will include HQPs, increased competitiveness and a better quality of life for Canadians.
