Optimal Shape Design Laboratory (OSDLab)
This laboratory is created with the support of a CFI New opportunity fund, government of Ontario and  different contribution of SUN microsystems, of a total value of $159,000 CDN.

The laboratory creates appropriate research space for 6 students. The primary research objectives are shape analysis and 3D computations related to fluid dynamics in hydrogen fuel cells. A secondary research application is shape analysis applied to artificial hearts.

The computing equipment comprises:
- a 4 processor SUN V490 computing server
 - a graphical workstation, dual AMD 2.6MHz opteron, NVidia Quatro FX4000
- 6 PCs
