Lina Voloshin

MASc student

Lina Voloshin
Lina is a candidate for Master of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) - Nanotechnology working in the area of printable electronics.

Prior to her MASc work with the Advanced Flexible Electronics Technology (AFET) group, Lina completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Nanotechnology Engineering and had the opportunity to intern at the prestigious Xerox Research Center of Canada and Teledyne DALSA. Her fourth year engineering design project on electrochromic architectural tiles won third place at the Nanotechnology Engineering Symposium in 2013 and she graduated with distinction.

She is currently investigating inkjet printing of novel nanoparticle-based aqueous conductive inks to enable cheap, mechanically robust and recyclable electronics.

Her work comprises design, printing, and characterization of inkjet-printed devices. This requires fostering and maintaining collaborations with many other groups at the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology in order to bring together the processing and devices expertise at AFET with new and exciting materials developed at the University of Waterloo.
