Biography

Seth Dworkin is a professor and academic lead for postdoctoral fellows at Toronto Metropolitan University, specializing in Mechanical, Industrial, and Mechatronics Engineering. His research focuses on sustainable energy solutions, particularly in the areas of applied thermodynamics and computational fluid dynamics. Dworkin addresses significant societal issues such as climate change by developing sustainable alternatives to combustion and reducing emissions. His innovative work includes geo-exchange systems that pump heat from the ground to buildings in summer and back in winter, providing a clean and efficient method for heat transfer. Dworkin is also known for his computational modeling methods that complement experimental approaches to inform energy solutions. As an advisor, he encourages students to engage in research that poses important global challenges. His contribution to the field has been recognized with several awards, including the McMaster University Alumni Association Arch Award in 2017 and the Engineering Medal – Young Engineer from Professional Engineers Ontario in 2015.
