The (EIC) has named two faculty members to its 2026 class of Fellows, recognizing their influential contributions to research, education and the broader engineering community. They are among 24 engineers across the country receiving this honour.

鈥淏eing named Fellows of the Engineering Institute of Canada is a prestigious acknowledgement of the outstanding contributions these engineers have made to their fields,鈥� says Schulich Dean . 鈥淭hey are leaders in research and innovation, and their work continues to inspire the engineering community across Canada.鈥�

Nader Mahinpey

A professor in the , , PhD, develops groundbreaking carbon-capture and conversion technologies.

Mahinpey is an internationally recognized leader in carbon-capture and utilization technologies. His research integrates carbon dioxide (CO2) transformation into fuels and value鈥慳dded chemicals, driving innovations that support a sustainable and circular carbon economy. 

鈥淚 am truly honoured to be one of 24 new Fellows elected to the EIC in 2026 and grateful for the community that has supported this work,鈥� says Mahinpey. 鈥淭his national recognition brings visibility to the work we do at Schulich and pays tribute to the strong culture of support and collaboration we value at the 91快色.鈥�

Mahinpey is Canada鈥檚 representative in the consortium and serves as a scientific advisor to several industry partners and . He is also a member of the Canadian Emission Reduction Innovation Consortium National Test Facilities Infrastructure Steering Committee.

Mahinpey served as the 鈥檚 Industrial Research Chair in Novel CO2 Capture Technologies from 2015 to 2025, and has served as the Schulich Industry Research Chair in Carbon Capture and Conversion into Fuels and Chemicals since 2012.

As an entrepreneur, Mahinpey has founded several startups in the past five years, including Climate Cure and Carbon CANTONNE. Carbon CANTONNE uses direct air capture and a chemical process to turn carbon dioxide into carbon nanomaterials. The innovation earned global recognition, including a top-60 finish in the 2022 Carbon Removal competition.

Leonid Belostotski

, PhD鈥�07, is a professor in the and a Schulich Research Chair. 

His research focuses on ultra-sensitive electronic systems for radio astronomy, quantum technologies and next-generation wireless communications.

鈥淏eing named an EIC Fellow is a great honour,鈥� says Belostotski. 鈥淚 am grateful to my students, colleagues, and collaborators whose support and shared curiosity have made this recognition possible.鈥�

Belostotski鈥檚 work has contributed directly to major international projects in astronomy, including Canada鈥檚 (Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio-transient Detector) telescope and the . He has also advanced energy-efficient beamforming techniques for future wireless systems.

A former Canada Research Chair, Belostotski has received multiple awards for research excellence and innovation. He was Canada Research Chair in High-Sensitivity Receivers and Radiometers from 2013 to 2023 and received the 2024 Research Excellence Award from the . He currently serves as editor-in-chief of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine and is actively involved in translating research into practice through industry collaboration and entrepreneurship.

His entrepreneurial activities include co-founding Teradio Inc. and NoiseTech Microwaves Ltd., whose technology was recently acquired by Maury Microwave.

Both recipients will be officially inducted as fellows at the EIC Gala Banquet in Ottawa on April 25.
