Bio:

Professor Yaser Dahman has always been interested in the intersection of research and business. “Most of our research focuses on innovation that can be utilized by entrepreneurs,” says Dahman. “You can either patent the product or the process—everything we produce has commercial potential.”

Completing his MBA after his PhD gaveProfessor Dahman the skills to bring his research into the market. He works on developing technology that can benefit real people, rather than staying locked away in the private vault of academia, taking up space in a drawer or gathering dust on a library shelf.

As the director of Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Professor Dahman is able to help his students initiate their own business proposals and collect funds to start small companies. “At Ryerson, you can get the resources you need to be successful,” he says. “We’re rapidly growing with lots of potential and close proximity to the industry.”
