معرفی
Dr. Jason Morrison is an Associate Professor and Associate Head (Undergraduate) in the Department of Biosystems Engineering at the University of Manitoba. He holds degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Computational Science from McMaster and Carleton Universities. His research focuses on creating simplified data models, optimizing model fits, and analyzing process outcomes, particularly in chemical spectra modeling, biological material analysis, and 3D printer performance optimization. He has received grants in both Information Technology and Materials and Chemical Engineering, emphasizing reproducible open-source tools for additive manufacturing and spectroscopy data analysis.
Dr. Morrison’s work addresses challenges in proprietary data formats that hinder reproducibility and interoperability in these fields. His teaching awards reflect his dedication to student success in engineering education. Recent research spans agricultural applications (e.g., Fusarium detection in wheat), biomaterials development (e.g., hemp fiber processing), and medical device sterilization (3D-printed plastics). His publications (2015–2021) highlight interdisciplinary approaches bridging engineering, biology, and computer science.
