Alumni

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, for a guest lecture by Dr. Adam Westbrook, Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Waterloo, speaking on the development of genetic tools for the model bacterium Bacillus subtilis, and their application to strain engineering for the production of value-added chemicals.

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Wednesday, January 16, 2019 for a guest lecture by Professor Edson Leite, Scientific Director of the Brazillian Nanotechnology National Laboratory and Professor in the Chemistry Department at Federal University of São Carlos, speaking on the synthesis of ceramic oxides nanoparticles. 

Please join the Institute for Polymer Research (IPR) on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 for a guest lecture by Professor Mitchell Winnik, University Professor of Chemistry at University of Toronto, speaking on Biomedical Applications of Metal-chelating Polymers and Lanthanide Nanoparticles.

Professor Koziński will discuss combustion in supercritical water (SCW), which is one of the least explored processes. He will also present a novel concept for the in situ study of SCW flames, flameless oxidation and gasification.

Prof Mekonnen will discuss chemical modification and structure-function of polysaccharides for material applications, as well as recent trends in enzyme polymerization platforms for polysaccharide production.

PhD candidate (Chemistry) Geoff Sinclair will discuss the use of direct (hetero)arylation (DAr) and direct (hetero)arylation polymerization (DHAP) as a tool for the synthesis of conjugated organic small molecules and polymers.
