Humber College research team led by Professor Timothy Wong in the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology has successfully collaborated with a Toronto-based industry partner for a project that exemplifies process innovation.
The main challenge faced by the industry partner was finding methods of optimizing the current process of pairing IoT devices to backend data collection and analytics. After careful testing, it was found that the optimized process reduced the duration of the deployment process by 60%. The new process developed by the Humber research team was confirmed to be viable and practical in an actual deployment setting. The research team concludes that this process innovation, in effect, will generate significant savings in efficiency and labour costs for the industry partner.

New episode of the Staff Lounge Podcast launches today: The Magic Ingredient: Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Perfecting the recipe for student success? Could interdisciplinary collaboration be the magic ingredient?
In this episode, professor Shirantha Beddage chats with Bakery and Culinary Arts professor, Kenneth Ku, and Web Design and Interactive Technology professor, David Neumann about their exciting professional collaboration that brings together Culinary and Media students. Professors Ku and Neumann share how they developed a successful interdisciplinary collaboration that’s created an exciting and professionally rewarding learning experience for faculty and learners.
This episode celebrates how Humber faculty are working together, moving out of their professional silos and creating key professional partnerships. This perfect pairing is a powerful example of what makes Humber an innovative leader in Higher Education.
"For instance, we make chocolate and we always had to purchase the molds. I didn’t know David had all these 3D printing machines; they had mold making machines. And so, we can customize things, right? That’s how it started, just seeing that every department can do these things."- Kenneth Ku, Professor, Baking & Pastry Arts Management, Faculty of Business
"For those students who have an idea and want to prototype, they now know there’s a way of getting it out of their head and out into the world, without having to doubt: ‘how am I going to make this custom mold? ‘What about my own ideas? How can I do that, and express myself?’ So, entrepreneurship is one of the huge areas that this is helpful for. But it’s also your own voice saying, 'I want to try this.'" - David Neumann, PC, Web Design and Interactive Media & User Experience Design, Faculty of Media and Creative Arts

We are pleased to announce Cory Gill has joined Humber as our second Application Architect in Enterprise Applications. Cory has spent his career as an Application Architect with the Ontario Treasury Board Secretariat, after first starting out as a developer, then team lead and also a delivery lead as his career progressed.
Cory is really looking forward to meeting his new Humber colleagues and getting the opportunity to help guide, shape and support Humber's technology ecosystem.
Fun fact: Aside from application architecture and solution delivery responsibilities, Cory dedicated a significant amount of time expanding and developing the Ontario Treasury Board Secretariat's co-op program for students.
