GEDIx: A 30-minute Exchange featuring Glove Systems and EXO Insights

GEDIx: A 30-Minute Exchange Featuring Glove Systems and EXO InsightsDigital twins and augmented reality can be used for simulating physical objects and processes. This can be especially helpful for improving their design to better ensure the dependability of infrastructure and operations where lives might be at stake. With the use of such digital realities, one can also create a competitive edge to improve efficiency and advance capabilities.

Zhongwei Chen, Canada Research Chair in Advanced Materials for Clean Energy and Chemical Engineering Professor and Linda Nazar, Canada Research Chair in Solid State Energy Materials and University Professor, received more than $2 million in infrastructure funding from the federal government’s Canada Foundation for Innovation for the proposed Ontario Centre for Battery and Electrochemical Research.

WatECS Workshop | Designing Scientific Figures, by Felice Frankel

The design of scientific figures is a key step that all researchers undertake as they present or publish their work, but one that they typically receive little training or education on how to do effectively. The Waterloo Electrochemical Society Student Chapter (WatECS) is delighted to invite you to attend a workshop on designing scientific figures, hosted by Professor Felice Frankel.

Frankel is a science photographer and research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and an internationally recognized expert in scientific graphics, visualization, photography, and communication of scientific results to the public.

Chemical Engineering Professor Tizazu Mekonnen has been named Inaugural Director of the Indigenous and Black Engineering and Technology (IBET) PhD Project. This new partnership, which includes the University of Waterloo and five other Ontario universities, aims to diversify academia and Canadian technology industries by increasing the number of Indigenous and Black Canadians pursuing engineering and technology degrees at universities across Ontario.
