Whether he’s working behind the scenes in his lab or contributing to the most exciting transportation project of the decade, Seyed Hashemi is always making something new.
A professor and a researcher of vibrations in composite structures, Hashemi is also the main faculty advisor for Toronto Metropolitan University’s International Hyperloop Team, which won the Subsystem Innovation Award at the 2016 SpaceX competition. “It was incredible for the students,” he says. “It gave them the chance to build something that, one day, could have a huge impact on society.”
For all of Hashemi’s students, Hyperloopers included, the road to success begins in his classroom. “I give them direct examples from my own career and what’s happening now in industry, so they know how the equations on the board apply in the real world.” Once they have the foundations, Hashemi encourages them to make the most of the opportunities at Toronto Metropolitan University, including RIADI, teams and clubs, and co-operative internships.
These opportunities add up to the kind of experience that Hashemi knows will help students build careers as fulfilling as his own. “The French word for engineering—génie—also means to do out-of-the-ordinary work and design new things,” he says. “That’s what I get to do every day.”
