You are welcome to join the Department of Chemical Engineering to Professor Yong Yang’s seminar on using biomaterials and polymer micro-/nanoengineering approaches to engineer biomimetic organ chips that recapitulate the key anatomical and physiological characteristics of human organs.

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering to hear Professor Dorval Courchesne discuss her work to engineer curli fibers produced by Escherichia coli bacteria and confer them with properties relevant for biomedical devices.

When the coronavirus pandemic necessitated the closure of university campuses across Canada, the Department of Chemical Engineering quickly transitioned the last few weeks of classes online so students could finish their term from the safety of home. At the same time, our spring term instructors began adapting their lectures, which would begin in just a few short weeks, for online delivery. Now, with these experiences as a foundation, we are building upon our successes and incorporating the best aspects of remote teaching into our plans for future terms.

The Post-COVID-19 Reboot is a weekly webinar series hosted by the University of Waterloo GEDI that brings together research experts and representatives from some of Canada’s leading corporations and startups to discuss strategies for emerging from the pandemic and adapting to this “new normal.” Join us on June 18 for "Rebooting with Research: Viral detection and mitigation". Registration required.

Park Reilly, who taught in the Department of Chemical Engineering between 1967 and 1988 and continued taking on graduate students long after, has passed away in his 100^th year.

University of Waterloo chemical engineering professor Bill Anderson continues his work to mitigate the shortage of protective gear needed by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis by enabling the safe re-use of existing equipment.

Waterloo Engineering Class Reunion 2020

The Waterloo Engineering alumni class reunion in 2020 is taking place on September 26, 2020 online.

Donovan Chaffart will be discussing the research he is conducting under the supervision of Professor Luis Ricardez Sandoval during a remote comprehensive oral exam.

During their remote MASc oral exam, Dae Sung Kim will discuss their research on mucoadhesive drug delivery platforms comprised of cellulose nanocrystals and chitosan with different moieties.

During their remote MASc oral exam, Tyler Or will discuss their research to improve the structural integrity of sodium-ion battery cathodes.
