University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies - UTIAS Canada's leading institute for aerospace and robotics research and education. 🚀 Extensions to the original building were added in 1961, 1963, 1987 and 1989.

The continuing involvement of the University of Toronto in the aerospace sciences since World War I eventually led to the establishment of this institute in 1949. Originally called the Institute of Aerophysics, it is now known as the Institute for Aerospace Studies. In 1959, UTIAS moved to a permanent 7.6 ha site about 22 km north of the main campus. A dome-shaped building housing an air-cushion vehicle track was erected adjacent to the main building in 1973, and the Microsatellite Science and Technology Centre was added in 2012.

Meet Professor Oliver Boodram (UTIAS), one of the newest members of our faculty.

Boodram’s research focuses on developing methods to understand and predict spacecraft motion — particularly in the region of space near Earth and the Moon, which is becoming increasingly populated with space-based infrastructure such as satellites.

In a new Q&A, Boodram shares how Neil deGrasse Tyson’s books and shows inspired his interest in space, what drew him to UTIAS, and what a great learning experience looks like to him.

“It’s about meeting the audience where they are and taking them somewhere new.”
